The documentary series about Britain's Olympic heroes, narrated by Kenneth Branagh. Mary Peters. Northern
Ireland's golden girl, Mary Peters , remembers the two days in Munich in 1972 that brought her a pentathlon gold medal and changed her life. She won the event by the tightest of margins - if Peters had run one-tenth of a second slower in the 200m, the final event, she would have ended up with silver. There's also a look back to the 1936 4 x 400m relay team, with the three surviving members talking together about their exhilarating run in Berlin under the watchful gaze of Adolf Hitler.

Another chance to see Jasper Carrott review some of the world's weirdest, wildest and most outrageous television ads. Find out why the dog is wearing a gas mask; what Bjorn Borg's underpants are like; and who's making mad, passionate love.
Carrott also takes a look back at some black and white commercials from the 1950s.
This is Carrott's second Commercial Breakdown - the first won two awards in 1990, the City of Montreux Prize for Independent Producers at the Golden Rose Festival and the gold medal for comedy/satire at the Film and Television Festival in New York.
"Again the humour is the point of communication where selling is concerned. The message seems to be 'make 'em laugh and they'll buy!'" says Carrott.
