Self-taught chef Nick Nairn travels around Scotland in search of the country's best produce, meets local people and prepares traditional recipes.

On this week's travels, Nick Nairn goes wild-mushroom picking for the raw produce to make a Scottish risotto starter. For his main course, he has to try his hand at grouse shooting on the Strathspey Estate, before preparing a roast grouse with bread sauce, croutons, game crumbs and gravy. Finally, he meets a local bee keeper to gather honey for a dessert of honey ice cream in a poached-pear-and-caramel sauce.

BBC Book: Wild Harvest with Nick Nairn is available in hardback from booksellers

Enter Achilles. Winnerofthe Music and Arts Jury Award at this year's Italia Prize in Naples, this film version of choreographer Lloyd Newson 's controversial work with dance group DV8 examines the history of female oppression in a male-dominated society. The performance captured here on film tells the story of a group of men who explore the thin line between reality and fantasy, and contains strong language and simulated acts of sexual violence which may shock and offend.
