Motoring news and views. Jeremy, Richard and James immerse themselves in the world of classic cars to find out if they really are more fun than modern machines.

Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May immerse themselves in the world of classic cars to find out if they really are, as the anoraks claim, more fun than modern machines. Armed with a budget of £3,000 each, they attempt to buy a pre-1982 car at auction. Rather than undertaking a series of challenges to see who has got the best deal, they are sent off to Majorca to take part in one very big challenge, a seemingly unfathomable classic car rally.

Also, Jeremy drives with dinosaurs in the new BMW Z4 and Nissan 370Z, and rock god Brian Johnson is the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.

Torchwood: Children of Earth 9.00pm BBC3
DRAMA "What could we offer and get away with?" It's Day Four and the perfidious PM tries haggling with the 456, who require ten per cent of Earth's youth. This powerful scene by writer John Fay touches all sorts of buttons with viewers: our distrust of politicians and primal urge to protect our children. Torchwood also rises above formula sci-fi by giving so many decent, diverse roles to women (eight here) and daring to depict the heroes as two men in love. Gareth David-Lloyd and John Barrowman (above) pull out all the stops for their heart-rending adieu. (Patrick Mulkern)

Baby Beauty Queens

BBC Three - Baby Beauty Queens

Documentary following three girls in the lead-up to the final of the Mini Miss UK contest.

Documentary about children's beauty pageants, following three girls and their mothers in the lead-up to the final of the first-ever Mini Miss UK contest in Milton Keynes.

As the American phenomenon of the children's beauty pageant hits the UK, this documentary uncovers a surreal new world where nine-year-olds get fake tans and seven-year-olds wear contact lenses. 

With the grand final of the first-ever Mini Miss UK beauty contest taking place at a leisure centre in Milton Keynes, it soon becomes clear that tantrums and tiaras may prevail over perfect poses and pouts. The mastermind behind the pageant is a middle-aged ex-beauty queen, who plans the entire event from her stairwell in Colchester. 

The film follows three girls and their mothers in the lead-up to the big event, and as they prepare to dazzle the judges the real reasons why they are desperate to be crowned Mini Miss UK become apparent. From the evangelical Christians who are convinced that God will help them win the pageant, to the disadvantaged kid for whom the contest holds the key to a better life, the film portrays an eccentric, and at times disturbing, snapshot of modern Britain.

Binge Drinking

BBC Three - My Big Decision, Series 1, Binge Drinking

Documentary about 17-year-old binge-drinker Jess and her journey of self-discovery.

Teenage binge drinker Jess takes a journey of self-discovery with her family on a trip across the UK, meeting a liver specialist and residents of a 'wet hostel'.

The series following teenage girls facing potentially life-changing decisions introduces 17-year-old Jess, a self-confessed binge drinker.

As Jess sets off on a personal journey of discovery, she is not alone - she's taking her mum and gran along with her. Taking a break from everyday life, the three women embark on a five-day road trip across the UK, immersing themselves in the world of alcohol and binge drinking. Offering help and support throughout the experience, it is the last chance mum and gran have to persuade Jess to think about making the right choice. 

Strong-willed and self-confident when sober, Jess says she is even bolder when drunk, and often consumes up to 100 units of alcohol in a weekend. Mum Jane believes Jess's attitude towards the bottle is concerning, and as a nurse she knows the damage that alcohol causes. However, despite her mum's warnings, Jess is intent on enjoying a boozy youth. Having been sober for years, nan Valerie's stance on drinking and how to enjoy oneself couldn't be further removed from that of her out-of-control granddaughter.

Along the way, the family are introduced to people and situations designed to get them talking openly and honestly and to help inform their decision. They meet a consultant liver specialist to examine a healthy and a damaged liver; visit an A&E department; speak to staff and residents of a 'wet hostel' in Leeds; and hear first-hand about the perilous effects of drink driving. 

After five days on the road, has the experience had any affect on Jess's decision?
