Brits battle growing pains and politics.

Wednesday 8pm DOC MARTIN: Accidental Hero - Comedy/drama - From teething to outright biting will Doc Martin and Louisa ever get a respite from their baby's manic mandible?  And Officer Penhale hosts an open house at the police station - is it the event of the century or a complete bust?  

Louisa returns to school and has to deal with a bully, PC Penhale decides to have a police open house to raise community awareness, but the turnout is not what he hoped for and Morwenna leaves the surgery for a weekend away with Al leaving Martin in need of help. 

9pm MEET THE LORDS - Documentary/Politics - Series following the larger-than-life characters that populate the House of Lords, one of Britain's oldest, most idiosyncratic and most important institutions.

Rebel Lords - Episode two of the exclusive behind-the-scenes documentary returns to the House as the government threatens to trim the Lords' powers if they rebel again, but will they comply? Rebellious peer Lord Dubs is on a crusade to push through an amendment to the Immigration Bill to allow unaccompanied refugee children into the country, and Admiral Lord West isn't happy about a public poll that has voted overwhelmingly to name a new polar research ship Boaty McBoatface. 

 

 

Featuring new people's peers, hereditaries and political grandees as they try to change or influence legislation, it follows their personal passions and clashes with the government, all in a gothic palace where centuries-old ceremony and tradition still dominate proceedings. It is filmed over a year where the nation has been split over Brexit and a Conservative government is for the first time having to tackle a Lords chamber where the opposition outnumber them.


10pm SECRETS OF BRITAIN'S GREAT CATHEDRALS - Art/Culture - Much of Britain’s history, from the countless kings and queens to the English Reformation, can be told through the many cathedrals that dot its landscape. SECRETS OF BRITAIN’S GREAT CATHEDRALS explores 22 cathedrals and abbeys found throughout England and Wales, providing insight into these magnificent historical structures.

SECRETS OF BRITAIN’S GREAT CATHEDRALS combines unprecedented access and drone footage of these buildings with interviews of historians and religious figures to expertly illustrate how these structures have become markers of time and history.  Narrated by actor Simon Callow (Four Weddings and a Funeral, Shakespeare in Love), the eight-part series follows a 1,500-mile journey, through England and Wales, visiting 22 of the most breathtaking and influential cathedrals.

 

SECRETS OF BRITAIN’S GREAT CATHEDRALS features spectacular footage of the abbeys’ facades and spacious interiors, as captured by drones. The series also includes interviews with leading deans, bishops, historians, architects, stone masons, tour guides, music directors, choristers, and other experts in the field as they reflect on the countless ways Britain’s cathedrals and abbeys reflect its history.
