Series offering advice on owning, setting and buying property. Quentin Willson visits some brownfield sites earmarked for development, and is impressed by a converted department store in central Manchester, part of a boom in inner-city projects.

Anna Ryder-Richardson joins location-finder Ralph Cameron on his search for three suitable venues for the filming of a major drama that is to be screened next year - the house with the right features could net its owners £2,000 a day, in his regular spot. Estate agent Paul Higgins offers some realistic advice on renovating run-down properties, which can consume vast quantities of cash and time.

Maternity 9.00pm BBC2
When producers Peter Gordon and Amanda Richardson chose the pregnant participants for this series about the UCH Obstetric hospital, they had no way of knowing what the outcome would be for each of them and, as this is real life, not all of them have happy endings.
There are two women featured this week, both of whom are going through their pregnancy without the fathers being involved. Chrystel is a chirpy 18-year-old living in a hostel. She develops pre-eclampsia near the end of her pregnancy and has to have an emergency caesarean section. Shona seems very certain about her future and motherhood, but babies are notorious for thwarting plans. Shona's lengthy labour will have you holding your breath and panting along with her - and her "news" some weeks later will probably make you gasp too.

Shot in Manhattan over a period of five years, this acclaimed film is a personal portrait of New York City by director Jem Cohen, who is best known for his videos for American rock band REM. Part documentary, part detective story and part poetic musing on the strangeness of modern life, it is loosely woven around the strange tale of a pushcart vendor who discovers a notebook filled with jottings and enigmatic messages, which in turn leads him on a trail around the city.
