The three-day Battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC saw a small Greek force, led by just 300 Spartans, heroically defend a narrow coastal pass from a 250,000-strong
Persian army. This revealing documentary uses dramatic reconstructions to bring this bloody conflict to life, and demonstrates how the small city state of Sparta and its austere culture of rigorous military discipline spawned some of the most feared warriors in the ancient world.

2/9. Nigel and LizThornton-Cummings possess typically romantic notions of life in the South of France - long, lazy lunches in quaint villages, fine wines and stunning scenery. But, in their search for "la vie en rose", they seem to have overlooked the negative aspects of rural life - and their inability to speak French. How will they cope with a month-long trial relocation? Presenters Scott Huggins and Sunita Shroff offer sound advice - and moral support.

The all-important singles matches on the final day in Michigan. Two years ago at the Belfry, European captain
Sam Torrance took a risk by fielding his best players first-but the gamble paid off as Colin Montgomerie 's bravura performance in defeating Scott Hoch 5&4 left the USA playing catch-up. Later, Phillip Price's impressive 3&2 win over world number two Phil Mickelson left Europe needing just half a point to take the title. A Paul McGinley putt secured an unassailable lead for Europe and signalled the start of wild celebrations on the 18th green. Ryder Cup Golf - How the Cup Was Won is tomorrow at 7.30pm
