Grand Designs - Season 19

From Sunday 17 April 7.40pm

Joe and Claire hope to create ‘one of the greatest homes on the planet’, that looks like a huge piece of art, with 34 enormous, angled zinc shards. But the expensive build faces mind-boggling problems.

This new series of Grand Designs features wildly different cutting-edge homes and dramatic personal stories.

All throughout Kevin McCloud is on hand to guide us through the trials and tribulations of creating extraordinary, highly personal places to live no matter the odds.

Few of us would think of building their home to look like a work of art, but on a hill overlooking a beautiful valley in South Devon Joe and Claire are going to do just that. Their new house will be a giant sculpture inspired by the local landscape, 70 metres long and featuring 34 enormous, angled zinc shards jutting out in all directions. It will be complicated and expensive to build, but Joe is young, wealthy and ambitious, as well as fearless. He intends to invest a large part of his self-made fortune into making the impossible possible. His aim is to build "one of the greatest homes on the planet”.

But with huge ambition can come huge risk, and right from the start the problems are mind boggling. Major structural engineering changes are necessary to contend with high winds hitting the shards, and the £835,000 budget virtually doubles before the first walls go up. A team of local builders then struggle through all weathers to build a vast intricate wooden frame, but the prefabricated timbers simply won’t fit together. As delays mount, what should have been a masterpiece is in real danger of becoming a white elephant.

Attenborough and the Mammoth Graveyard

Monday 18 April 8.30pm

Sir David Attenborough joins Ben Garrod and a team of investigators at a mammoth graveyard, near Swindon, to explore whether Neanderthals might have killed the Ice Age beasts.

Four years ago, a couple walking round a freshly dug gravel pit just outside Swindon noticed something unusual protruding from the mud. It was the top of a huge fossilised Mammoth leg bone. Sally and Neville Hollingworth, both keen amateur fossil hunters, had stumbled across the discovery of a lifetime - a mammoth graveyard in the prehistoric riverbed of the Thames.

They returned to dig up more bones and tusks and a stone ‘hand axe’ made by an early human. Unlike most mammoth discoveries that date back tens of thousands of years, Sally and Neville’s finds appear to be hundreds of thousands of years old - offering an extremely rare glimpse of life deep in the Ice Ages.

When Sir David Attenborough heard about their remarkable finds he was keen to see them for himself.They join biologist Prof. Ben Garrod and a team of archaeologists and palaeontologists as they carefully excavate the quarry. The site raises many questions: Why were the mammoths here? How did they die? Could the ancient humans have killed them? Or was there some kind of catastrophic event?Sir David and Ben meet with leading experts in the fields of evolution, both human and mammoth to grasp a greater understanding of our relationship with this iconic ice-age giant.

Laboratory dating of soil samples suggests the site dates to around 215,000 years ago. As the team finds more tools and bones, they realise this could be a once-in-a-generation discovery, offering a unique window into prehistoric Britain.

Life

image

From Sunday 24 April 9.30pm

An explosive series exploring the human capacity for connection in a splintered society. When the lives of the residents of a large house intersect, hidden secrets connect them in ways they couldn’t have anticipated.

Life is an explosive new six-part drama series from the team behind BAFTA-winning global hit Doctor Foster. Created by multi-award-winning writer Mike Bartlett, Life explores the human capacity for connection in an increasingly splintered society.

In Manchester, England, the residents of a large suburban house go about their very different lives. The walls that divide their flats keep them apart. But life has a way of bringing people together.

David (Adrian Lester), a happily married university lecturer, is torn by temptation when he meets an impulsive younger woman. As Gail (Alison Steadman) approaches her 70th birthday, a chance encounter makes her question the choices she’s built her whole life around. Secret alcoholic Belle (Victoria Stone) is managing to maintain a fragile happiness, until her wilful 15-year-old niece crashes into her neatly ordered existence. And heavily pregnant Hannah (Melissa Johns), who has two men in her life, must choose between desire and dependability.

Like all ordinary lives, theirs are filled with the extraordinary. And as their stories begin to intersect, hidden secrets connect these characters in ways that could never have been anticipated.

ABC NEWS channel will have live coverage all day, with the major national services in full and crossing to marches in all state capitals. Plus, we’ll hear from ABC News reporters in regional areas and overseas to see how Australians are marking the day.

Griff’s Canadian Adventure

From Saturday 30 April 6.00pm

British Comedian and travel enthusiast Griff Rhys Jones embarks on a journey across the second largest Country on the planet: Canada. From mountain ranges and vast prairies to glittering cities and ice-locked towns, Griff will travel some 4000 miles, nearly 7000km, from Newfoundland and Labrador on the rugged Atlantic Coast in the East, all the way across the country, to Vancouver Island in the Pacific NorthWest.

As he travels Griff will uncover what makes each province so tantalisingly unique yet distinctly Canadian; from the Frenchness of cosmopolitan Quebec City and Montreal in Quebec to the isolation and coldness of the frozen North in Manitoba and the richness of the endless prairies across Alberta and Saskatchewan. He’ll reveal how the history of each province has impacted its past, present and future, and helped shape the Canada of today.

Throughout his journey he’ll be given a challenge to learn to appreciate each province like a local. Will he leave Ontario with a genuine Canadian souvenir? Can he uncover what it means to be good in the kitchen in Newfoundland and Labrador? Will he refresh his mind, body and spirit while in British Columbia? Each challenge will offer him the opportunity to live like a local and uncover aspects of life particular to each province, with a little help from the local characters and experts he meets along the way.

Episode One - Newfoundland: Bigness
In this first episode, Griff explores Newfoundland and Labrador in the East and uncovers what makes Canada distinctly unique and decidedly ‘big’.

Production credit: An EQMEDIA (NZ) and Niki Ray Media co -production.

Call the Midwife - Season 10

From Saturday 30 April 8.20pm

Sister Julienne (Jenny Agutter) and Dr Turner (Stephen McGann) clash over whether to provide a private care service, and a distressing birth raises fears of another Thalidomide case.

It’s 1966, and it’s a testing time for the midwives. But there’s excitement, too, as the women’s rights movement intensifies.

With Trixie’s (Helen George) help, Sister Julienne (Jenny Agutter) is determined to steer Nonnatus House out of its financial quandary. Dr Turner (Stephen McGann) deals with an array of difficult cases including a former soldier involved in nuclear test explosions. Meanwhile, Sister Monica Joan (Linda Bassett) experiences a crisis of faith, and Sister Frances (Ella Bruccoleri) realises she needs to be a little less spiritual if she’s to really connect with the local women.

There are some interesting challenges ahead, as well as great celebrations when England wins the World Cup.

In this episode, Sister Julienne and Dr Turner clash over whether to provide a private care service, and a distressing birth raises fears of another Thalidomide case.

All Australians invited to join the ABC’s 90th birthday celebrations

Australia’s national broadcaster, the ABC, turns 90 this year and is inviting all Australians to celebrate the milestone, with community events and special programming planned across television, radio, online and social platforms.

The celebrations will run across much of 2022 with the key event, a live 90-minute television special, to be broadcast on Thursday 30 June 2022 – almost 90 years to the day that the Australian Broadcasting Commission, as the ABC was then called, first went to air, launched by Prime Minister Joseph Lyons.

Since that time, the ABC has grown from 12 radio stations into a multi-media organisation, broadcasting from more than 66 capital city and regional locations, and around the world from 11 international bureaux.

Announcing the ABC’s 90th celebration plans, Managing Director David Anderson said the anniversary was an opportunity for all Australians to share in the ABC’s rich history.

“The ABC has been part of everyday life in Australia since 1932. It has played a big part in documenting our country’s development and achievements over nine decades, and has grown and adapted to changing times, in step with the nation,” he said.

“In 2022 we are as relevant and connected to Australian life as we ever have been. We are Australia’s most trusted media organisation, and we reach close to 70 per cent of the population each week through our metropolitan and regional radio networks, our four national radio networks, our four digital television channels, seven digital-only radio channels, our digital sites, social media sites and our on-demand services ABC iview and the ABC listen app.”

ABC Chair, Ita Buttrose, said the organisation’s 90th celebrations were about giving back to Australians. “The ABC has always reflected Australian life. It is at its very best when it is celebrates the achievements of all Australians and the things that make this country such a special place in what is the world’s oldest continuous culture. We’re proud of our past and are optimistic about our future, and in the coming months we invite people to join in our celebrations.”

Ms Buttrose will present this year’s Andrew Olle Media Lecture in Sydney on Friday 17 June.

An ensemble cast of ABC’s favourite presenters will host ABC 90 Celebrate! – a live 90-minute television event starting at 8.00pm on Thursday 30 June 2022. It will be broadcast from the ABC’s Sydney studios and connect with ABC studios and presenters in the other capital cities and in regional locations across the country. There will be familiar faces from the past and present, some surprise guests and crosses to international locations.
