100m butterfly champion Giles Long are competing. There's also the quarter-final stage of the wheelchair rugby, and sailing, as Britain's crew push for a top-three finish.

3/5. Jungle Trek. There's a path running through the Amazon jungle that runs in the shadow of what locals call Tepui - incredible, flat-topped mountain formations that inspired Arthur Conan Doyle 's tale of living dinosaurs, The Lost World. Ray takes a trek along this traditional trading route and finds spectacular waterfalls, clouds of butterflies and one of the most beautiful villages on Earth.

In July 2001 a stone tablet mysteriously appeared in Israel that seemed to answer one of the great riddles of the ancient world. Bearing an inscription which stated that 3,000 years ago there was a magnificent temple - the Temple of Solomon, as described in the Bible - Israeli scientists declared the stone authentic.

But when an ancient box also appeared, apparently offering evidence for Jesus Christ's existence, scepticism began to creep in. Could two artefacts of such earth-shattering historical significance simply appear out of the blue?

2/6. Sleeping Partners. Mr Hussain and his two sons-in-law have run their company Shire Beds in Yorkshire for seven years, but now the business is struggling. At first Sir Gerry Robinson suggests the family pair off into couples and, through brainstorming sessions, come up with solutions to save the business. But when that initiative fails to bear fruit Gerry selects a new MD from among Mr Hussain 's five daughters - an idea that proves unpopular with the male members of the family. Narrated by Jenny Seagrove. Producer Ruth Whippman ; Series producers Colin Barr and Kelly Webb-Lamb
