Clare Balding presents the Burghley Horse Trials from Stamford in Lincolnshire, featuring the world's toughest cross country examination. Designed by Captain Mark Phillips, it includes 31 Grand National size fences and 45 jumping efforts across Burghley's undulating 6.5 kilometre track.
Among the international field of 70 plus world-class horses and riders are Great Britain's William Fox-Pitt, seeking an unprecedented seventh Burghley title, and his arch rival, New Zealand's Andrew Nicholson. Presently ranked number one in the world, Nicholson is the defending Burghley champion and a three-time winner of this Autumn Class of Eventing.
The Kiwis are also represented by Badminton winner Jonathan 'Jock' Padget, five-time Burghley Champion Sir Mark Todd and Caroline Powell, victorious three years ago. The host nation challengers include London Olympic silver medalist Tina Cook, Oliver Townend, successful in 2009, and Pippa Funnell, still the one and only rider to achieve the grand slam of Kentucky, Badminton and Burghley in a single season.
Commentary by Mike Tucker and Ian Stark.

The Masked Singer
Part guessing game and part singing show, The Masked Singer sees 12 famous faces compete to pull off the best performance, with their identity elaborately and imaginatively concealed, thanks to an expert team of talented costume designers. The stars will be transformed and they will take on a masked identity and become a fantastic character which will disguise them for the whole series.
Forget any thoughts of fancy dress – they'll be full-on, original, movie-standard creations taking inspiration from worlds as varied as manga, superheroes, and wild animals and mythical creatures. Their transformations will be total, even their speaking voices will be disguised in interviews.
It will be up to a superstar panel to lead the viewers at home in their quest to discover who they are. Although the stars aren't judged on their voices, they'll still need to give their best performance – the audience's least favourite will be eliminated, before the panel try to guess their identity and unmask them.
