As the nation begins to recover from the traditional
Yuletide indulgences and diets come back on the agenda, this timely reflection on exercise illustrates our love-hate relationship with keeping fit with comedy clips from the archives. John Fashanu , Fiona Bruce and the "Green
Goddess" Diana Moran give their views on personal trainers, cross-country runs and lycra thongs, and there's a look at the personal workout regimes of Gail Porter , Jono Coleman and Lizzie Webb. Rob Brydon narrates.

New series 1/6. Estate agents routinely top the lists of our least favourite professionals - but is their money-grabbing reputation ill-deserved? This series goes behind the scenes of an agency in London's fashionable Belsize Park, where father of two Richard Blanks is facing a crisis. Outward signs suggest that the branch is doing well, but in reality it's underfunded. He's paid on a commission-only basis, and if he doesn't make a sale, he can't pay his mortgage. Narrated by Martin Freeman.

Ray Stubbs and Bobby George introduce highlights from day five of this year's competition. At this stage last year, England's Mervyn King secured a comfortable 3-1 victory over fellow countryman Dennis Harbour. Number three seed King later blamed his 5-2 semi-final defeat by Raymond Barneveld on air-conditioning currents interfering with his trajectory. Will he have better luck this year?
