David Vine presents live coverage of the final of the 26th Masters tournament from the Wembley Conference Centre.

This evening's closing frames will culminate in the presentation of the trophy and a cheque for £165,000 to the winner. John Higgins was victorious last year after an epic battle with Ken Docherty. Trailing by six frames to eight, Higgins took four consecutive frames to clinch the title 10-8, and became only the third man to hold the world, UK and Masters titles simultaneously.

On 8 December this year, 20 years will have passed since the death of John Lennon. Mark Kermode introduces this intimate film that traces the making of the ex-Beatle's solo album Imagine, recorded in May 1971 at his Berkshire home with co-producers Phil Spector and Yoko Ono.

Cameras capture the rehearsing and recording of songs which collectively represented Lennon's most important post-Beatles work, including Jealous Guy, How Do You Sleep? and Gimme Some Truth, as well as the eponymous paean to peace, one of pop's best-loved songs. Alongside a plethora of hitherto unseen footage, celebrity visitors appearing in the film include Andy Warhol, Jack Nicholson and George Harrison.
