The team get to grips with the Jungle Garden as Monty finishes the hard landscaping. Joe also visits the tropical biome at the Eden Project in Cornwall to find inspiration for the planting plan, while Carol is busy in the mixed borders, shown last Friday

The virtually constant daylight during an Icelandic midsummer provides perfect conditions to seek out the elusive Arctic fox. The naturalist also sets foot on the volcanic island of Surtsey - a landmass that did not exist when he was born - and goes in search of the harlequin duck, which loves to surf the rapids.

First Flight. Orville Wright became the first human to harness the power of winged flight way back in 1903 - yet nature had beaten him to it by a mere million years. This thought-provoking film re-creates the most dramatic moments in the last 100 years of aviation and, by using the latest film and computer technology, illustrates how nature has come up with spectacular solutions to the same endeavour.

Tension builds in the race to become the 2005 Masters champion and claim the attendant Green Jacket and$1 million in prize money on the final day's play at the Augusta National course in Georgia, USA.
Last year's emotional scenes, however, are unlikely to be capped as American Phil Mickelson bravely overcame the challenge of South Africa's
Ernie Els to win his first Major. The eventual winner had birdied five of the final seven holes - including the demanding 18th - for a three-under-par 69. His nine-under 279 total was one better than Els, who had two eagles and shot a commendable 67.
Presented by Steve Rider. Commentary comes from Peter Alliss , Ken Brown and Sam Torrance. www.bbc.co.uk/golf Radio coverage from 10pm on BBC Radio 5 Live
The film The Tiger Woods Story is on BBC1 tomorrow at 12.30am

Boorman A riveting, anecdote-packed portrait of the hell-raising, gruff-voiced actor from 1999 by the director who coaxed memorable performances from him in Point Blank and Hell in the Pacific. Marvin's Oscar-winning role in Cat Ballou, shown yesterday, was, arguably, his best cinematic portrayal; he was also famed as an ex-marine who fought in the Second
World War. William Hurt and Jim Jarmusch contribute.
Director John Boorman John Boorman is profiled in The South Bank Show on ITV1 at 10.45pm
