Talking!
Tony Robinson and Jake the Parrot tell the story of one of the world's best-loved birds.

A new seven-part series of the programme for independent travellers.
The first edition goes to the United States to meet the cowboys who have become birdboys, check out the most famous cheerleaders in the world and go shopping in Santa Fe - a shopaholic's paradise which is also home to over 2,000 spiritualists.
The programme also follows the old Route 66 through the heart of cowboy country, meeting the cowgirls of the 90s and ending up at the Grand Canyon. Presented by Magenta DeVine and Simon O'Brien.
With a new format and a new presenter, the series returns after the Christmas break with a programme about the Body Shop.
Is there a gap between the feelgood image of the Body Shop and the reality of its operation? And how will it fight off competitors like Bath and Body Works, new to Britain but outperforming the Body Shop in the United States?
Anita Roddick, Body Shop's founder, talks about her ethical credentials and the battle for the bubble bath.
Also in this week's programme: a report on bullying in the workplace.
Presented by Francine Stock.
Alan Bennett first visited the Leeds City Art Gallery as an 8-year-old boy in 1942 when, he remembers, its collection of paintings was somewhat lacking in quantity, if not interest.
Today, many of the pictures hanging there are like old friends and, watching and listening as he makes his way through the gallery, Bennett discovers how others perceive the works and what inspired their visit.

REMEMBER
Pope Pius XII - the Pope, the Jews and the Nazis
Pope Pius XII is the most controversial Pope of recent times. His reputation depends on the answerto one question - why did he remain all but silent throughout the Holocaust?
This film has, for the first time, tracked down key people who knew him.
Eye-witnesses, who told the Vatican at the time about the mass-murder of Jews, give evidence about the response they received from the Pope. Their bitterfrustration is still keenly felt. Others who owe their lives to the Pope speak out in his praise.
Producer Jonathan Lewis ; Editor Laurence Rees The season continues this evening at 12.20am with Blood in the Face
Crime drama starring Nick Nolte, Timothy Hutton.
Al Reilly, a fresh young assistant district attorney, idealistically sets about investigating the shooting of a Puerto Rican suspect - and comes up against the worst of rogue cops.
(1990)
(Film Reviews pages 52-56)
As BBC2 commemorates the 50th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, this chilling documentary offers a salutary reminder that the lessons of the Holocaust can easily be ignored, forgotten or even denied. Film-makers gained access to a convention of far-right groups in the American Midwest where they uncovered a nest of unrepentant racists. Their film provides an alarming portrait of modern-day bigotry.
