1/6. Rene Carayol updates the stories of householders from across the country who took on the challenge of paying off their mortgage in 24 months. Two years ago Dan, a self-employed blacksmith, and his partner Lucy were struggling to meet the monthly repayments on their small cottage in St Ives, Cornwall. Have they managed to clear their debts so they can indulge their real passion in life - surfing?

The Inside Story
"It's really extreme trying to pay off a mortgage in two years instead of 25," says presenter Rene Carayol (right), who reports back on how well eight householders have done in Did They Pay Off Their Mortgage in Two Years? (7.30pm BBC2). "I wouldn't necessarily recommend it. For one thing, singles can't do it. You need the support of a partner. Even then, boy, is it hard work!" And the results as the deadline approaches? "I'm sure two couples will make it," says Carayol. "But my guess is that none of these people will go back to their old consumer ways."

1/6. Better known for his acquaintance with badgers, birds and other denizens of Britain's back gardens, the wildlife presenter takes a different trip with a look at the music, culture and natural history of America. Forty-three years ago Bill toured the States with John Cleese and Tim Brooke-Taylor, but he had no chance to admire the US wildlife. As he attempts to rectify that, his journey begins in New York, where he stumbles upon bin-raiding raccoons and a pair of red-tailed hawks.

1/6. Five hundred volunteers and a team of celebrities cook up 40 intriguing experiments to explore how what we eat can changes our lives.

Fiona Bruce joins nine fast-food junkies placed under a strict regime at Paignton Zoo - following a gorilla's diet of raw fruit and vegetables. She also meets two truckers who swallow an unusual pill to get them moving, and learns all about good and bad bacteria from some cowboys.

Health: The Truth about Food 9.00pm BBC2
This gimmicky new series is notable for the contributions of its presenter, newsreader Fiona Bruce, who reveals herself to be a gigglesome thing with a jaunty sense of humour. And doubtless many of Fiona's male fans will just love hearing her talk rather coquettishly about erections.
The Truth about Food is yet another of those vaguely finger-wagging shows that purports to tell us what we should and should not be eating. It's almost terrifyingly light-hearted, and full of weird experiments. For instance, volunteers live in a zoo and eat like apes for a week to see if their cholesterol levels are reduced. And two game chaps talk about their sexual problems, with gratuitous, but quite funny, illustration from the naughty Cerne Abbas man. (Alison Graham)
