0:00:11 > 0:00:14Good afternoon to and welcome to the last programme in this

0:00:14 > 0:00:16series of Points Of View.

0:00:16 > 0:00:19It may be the last, but you, the viewers, will not let us

0:00:19 > 0:00:20go out quietly.

0:00:20 > 0:00:23So, hold on to your seats for the next 30 minutes,

0:00:23 > 0:00:26and your review of the TV that you've been watching this week.

0:00:28 > 0:00:31Every weekend, parties are happening across the UK.

0:00:33 > 0:00:36But how many of them end up like this?

0:00:36 > 0:00:38CALL HANDLER: Emergency, which service?

0:00:38 > 0:00:40I want to speak to the police.

0:00:40 > 0:00:41We start with Monday night,

0:00:41 > 0:00:45and proving yet again that it is never afraid to tackle challenging

0:00:45 > 0:00:48subjects in potentially controversial ways,

0:00:48 > 0:00:51BBC Three put sex on trial.

0:00:51 > 0:00:54What the actual hell are you people talking about?

0:00:54 > 0:00:57It is rape, OK?

0:00:57 > 0:01:00It's a unique event, and at the end of it we'll know what

0:01:00 > 0:01:05they think you can and can't do when it comes to sex.

0:01:05 > 0:01:08The interactive documentary presented a group of young people with

0:01:08 > 0:01:12a dramatised scenario, and asked them, as well as the viewers,

0:01:12 > 0:01:14to decide, is this rape?

0:01:14 > 0:01:18Much praise for this, especially on social media.

0:01:18 > 0:01:22Yasmin Chaudhry described the show as "fantastic", giving it a special

0:01:22 > 0:01:25"wow, wow, wow". Aaron Smythe said it "Was a great show.

0:01:25 > 0:01:29"If it makes just one young lad think twice, then absolute job done."

0:01:29 > 0:01:33While Bill praised the channel "for airing a programme that

0:01:33 > 0:01:36"finally educates people on what consent actually is".

0:01:36 > 0:01:39From one set of moral dilemmas to another, and the ever mounting

0:01:39 > 0:01:44issue of food waste is Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's latest mission.

0:01:44 > 0:01:49His aim? To reduce the staggering amount of food we waste every year.

0:01:49 > 0:01:52..yet a third of all the food we produce never gets eaten.

0:01:53 > 0:01:55That has to be wrong.

0:01:55 > 0:02:00Oh, my God. You do get a better class of waste at Waitrose.

0:02:00 > 0:02:02Oh, beautiful pears.

0:02:03 > 0:02:06'With your help, I want to do something about it.'

0:02:06 > 0:02:10But this might well be Hugh's mission impossible as he quickly realises,

0:02:10 > 0:02:13when it comes to food, the supermarkets are king.

0:02:13 > 0:02:18Do you expect to make a profit on the farm this year? No. None? No.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20Really? How long has it been like that?

0:02:20 > 0:02:23How long have you been in that cycle? Probably longer than is...

0:02:23 > 0:02:26is good for us as a family business.

0:02:26 > 0:02:29If this continues, what's the future?

0:02:29 > 0:02:31Closure, basically.

0:02:34 > 0:02:35SHE EXHALES

0:02:38 > 0:02:39You're upset, aren't you?

0:02:55 > 0:02:58Next up, making her much heralded return to the BBC,

0:02:58 > 0:03:01Nigella Lawson was keeping it simple in the kitchen.

0:03:01 > 0:03:06'Simply Nigella is about dishes that do just that.

0:03:06 > 0:03:08'Recipes that relax and restore...

0:03:10 > 0:03:12'..uplift and enrich.'

0:03:20 > 0:03:22And that's perfect.

0:03:22 > 0:03:26Lamb ribs are cut from the breast, and I lived on breast of lamb

0:03:26 > 0:03:28when I was a student.

0:03:28 > 0:03:32I used to braise them, in one piece, all the time.

0:03:32 > 0:03:36Now I go for the ribs, which I roast with cumin seeds

0:03:36 > 0:03:40and nigella seeds, and I can tell you, it is the way forward.

0:03:40 > 0:03:45In what world do students see lamb as an everyday ingredient?

0:03:45 > 0:03:48I've been a student, and now I work, but I still see

0:03:48 > 0:03:52lamb as an expensive luxury ingredient, a treat on a Sunday.

0:03:52 > 0:03:53An everyday ingredient?

0:03:53 > 0:03:57No way. And how many other people in this country will think like that?

0:03:57 > 0:04:00Nigella seems but a parody in the way she presents

0:04:00 > 0:04:04and the way she uses expensive, luxury ingredients.

0:04:04 > 0:04:06I could keep moaning, but now I'm off to knock up a quick

0:04:06 > 0:04:10lobster ravioli with some unicorn sweat and gold leaf.

0:04:10 > 0:04:14Simply Nigella was the title, but for some it was just a bit too simple.

0:04:14 > 0:04:16Don't mind me while I mash.

0:04:22 > 0:04:24My toast of choice is ready and waiting.

0:04:24 > 0:04:26And I can pile this on.

0:04:39 > 0:04:42Beans AND cheese, Kat? You could be starting something there.

0:04:42 > 0:04:46If cookery isn't your thing, what about a bit of pottering?

0:04:51 > 0:04:53Hot on the heels of The Great British Bake Off, the latest

0:04:53 > 0:04:57offering from the same producers, The Great Pottery Throw Down.

0:05:00 > 0:05:02And on BBC Two, Tuesday night,

0:05:02 > 0:05:05there was certainly a lot of familiarity with the format.

0:05:05 > 0:05:08'It's day one of the first-ever search for Britain's best

0:05:08 > 0:05:11'home potter.' There were the group of contestants...

0:05:11 > 0:05:13I'm so passionate about ceramics.

0:05:13 > 0:05:15..the two judges whose job it is to choose

0:05:15 > 0:05:18which of the potters would leave the competition each week...

0:05:18 > 0:05:21You're going to have to do something with that. Just go bold with it.

0:05:21 > 0:05:25..and a fair bit of innuendo that made Mary Berry's "soggy bottom" seem

0:05:25 > 0:05:27quite tame.

0:05:27 > 0:05:30MUSIC: Unchained Melody by The Righteous Brothers

0:05:31 > 0:05:34'Size matters.' 27.5. It is quite primal.

0:05:34 > 0:05:38It's a very sexual feeling when you're working with clay.

0:05:38 > 0:05:41Is pottery better than sex? No.

0:05:41 > 0:05:45Am I being really prudish to say it was just innuendo...?

0:05:45 > 0:05:49In fact, it was beyond innuendo, it was sexual connotation,

0:05:49 > 0:05:53and they were getting extremely rude and vulgar, and it is pottery.

0:05:53 > 0:05:58I appreciate that it was over the watershed, at nine o'clock,

0:05:58 > 0:05:59but it is pottery.

0:05:59 > 0:06:03There was all the slipping and sliding and the firm hand movements.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05We all saw Ghost, we know how this ends.

0:06:05 > 0:06:08It is almost too easy to make jokes about it.

0:06:12 > 0:06:17So, leaving the innuendo aside, is pottery the new baking?

0:06:17 > 0:06:21Did it get you all fired up, or did you glaze over? I'm sorry.

0:06:21 > 0:06:25Who better placed to judge this one than a group of potters?

0:06:25 > 0:06:27We went along to Parade Mews Pottery

0:06:27 > 0:06:31group in South London to hear what they thought of The Throw Down.

0:06:31 > 0:06:34MUSIC: You Spin Me Round (Like A Record) by Dead Or Alive

0:06:36 > 0:06:39I thought Throw Down was interesting.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41I actually found it a bit sentimental

0:06:41 > 0:06:43and kind of nostalgic, in a way.

0:06:43 > 0:06:46I found it entertaining. Oh, gosh.

0:06:46 > 0:06:48It was slightly crazy.

0:06:50 > 0:06:53I thought the show was really interesting, I thought

0:06:53 > 0:06:55it was a great introduction to pottery for people who

0:06:55 > 0:06:59haven't been exposed to it before. This is how it is going to work, OK.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02Each week, one of you will be named Top Potter.

0:07:02 > 0:07:05Maybe Sara Cox wasn't the best choice of presenter,

0:07:05 > 0:07:09but I still think she was funny... You know, her interactions

0:07:09 > 0:07:13and stuff with the contestants, she seemed really lovely and seemed to

0:07:13 > 0:07:16be having fun with it, even though she didn't know too much about it.

0:07:16 > 0:07:19I feel like I just want to rub your shoulders. I'll do some sort of...

0:07:19 > 0:07:22I'm fine. Sara Cox is trying to throw in sexual innuendo at every

0:07:22 > 0:07:25point possibly. I felt like that was her only joke,

0:07:25 > 0:07:26and that frustrated me.

0:07:26 > 0:07:30Does your wife ever...do pottery with you? No, she doesn't.

0:07:30 > 0:07:34Does she not? No. I thought that Kate and Keith did an OK job.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37Morning, people. Hey! Hello, everybody.

0:07:37 > 0:07:40Usually you have one baddie and one goodie,

0:07:40 > 0:07:42and they were both very supportive.

0:07:42 > 0:07:44Potters of the world unite. LAUGHTER

0:07:44 > 0:07:47'They were quite a strange pair, I thought.'

0:07:47 > 0:07:51I didn't really get why Keith was crying over pots at the end of it.

0:07:51 > 0:07:55You were so nervous. And you've just excelled yourself.

0:07:55 > 0:07:57He was obviously prepared for that, he had

0:07:57 > 0:08:02brought a handkerchief. But it was a little bit unexpected.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05I do think Throw Down could become a really popular show

0:08:05 > 0:08:10and do for pottery what The Bake Off has done for baking.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12Throw Down will be Bake Off for a couple of weeks

0:08:12 > 0:08:15and then there'll be something else that people will talk about.

0:08:15 > 0:08:17It won't last. I thought it was OK.

0:08:17 > 0:08:21I couldn't help but compare it a bit to The Bake Off.

0:08:21 > 0:08:25Is Throw Down the new Bake Off? No, probably not.

0:08:25 > 0:08:26I think it wishes it was...

0:08:26 > 0:08:28This is your mammoth task.

0:08:28 > 0:08:29..but it's not.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31Bake Off rules.

0:08:31 > 0:08:35From the search for the best potter to BBC Three's hunt

0:08:35 > 0:08:39for Britain's Biggest Sexists on Tuesday night.

0:08:39 > 0:08:42Sexists of Britain, your moment has come.

0:08:44 > 0:08:47Journalist Leah Green presented the contenders for this most

0:08:47 > 0:08:49un-coveted of prizes.

0:08:49 > 0:08:52For sheer stupidity and self sabotage, I'm going

0:08:52 > 0:08:56to go with employers who discriminate against pregnant women.

0:08:56 > 0:08:59But, for some, the fact that only men were targeted meant

0:08:59 > 0:09:03the programme makers had decided already that sexism

0:09:03 > 0:09:04was a one-way street.

0:09:10 > 0:09:13It was clear from the offset the programme was biased,

0:09:13 > 0:09:15misinforming and rather denigrating.

0:09:15 > 0:09:18The show demonstrates the lack of professionalism and ethical

0:09:18 > 0:09:21journalism that I would expect from a public service broadcaster.

0:09:21 > 0:09:24For Britain's biggest sexist TV programme,

0:09:24 > 0:09:26I'd like to nominate Britain's Biggest Sexists.

0:09:26 > 0:09:29The show had an air of hypocrisy about it by only discussing

0:09:29 > 0:09:32the problem of sexism towards women.

0:09:32 > 0:09:33It is of course more prevalent,

0:09:33 > 0:09:35but does not define the concept of sexism.

0:09:35 > 0:09:39Two knighted titans of stage and screen graced us

0:09:39 > 0:09:42with their acting presence on BBC Two this week.

0:09:42 > 0:09:46What performances is this? Well, tonight will be your...

0:09:46 > 0:09:49227th performance of the part, Sir.

0:09:49 > 0:09:52Sirs Anthony Hopkins and Ian McKellen starred in

0:09:52 > 0:09:56an adaptation of The Dresser, the story of an ageing actor's

0:09:56 > 0:09:59intense relationship with his personal assistant.

0:09:59 > 0:10:03This decidedly old-fashioned play had lots of you shouting, "Bravo."

0:10:03 > 0:10:07The BBC Two production of The Dresser on Saturday night was

0:10:07 > 0:10:12a masterclass and worth every penny of the BBC licence fee.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15Really, the BBC at its best.

0:10:15 > 0:10:19Sir Ian McKellen's characterisation of Norman was brilliant.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22His monologue at the end where he isn't mentioned by the man

0:10:22 > 0:10:27he has served faithfully all those years brought me to tears.

0:10:27 > 0:10:31Sir Anthony Hopkins's Sir was egotistical and self-centred,

0:10:31 > 0:10:36and watching his mind breaking down was at times uncomfortable to watch.

0:10:36 > 0:10:40Seems like years since we've had such quality drama on the BBC

0:10:40 > 0:10:41such as The Dresser.

0:10:41 > 0:10:45The superb production was second to none. Well done, BBC.

0:10:45 > 0:10:47You're a fine one!

0:10:47 > 0:10:49I must say.

0:10:49 > 0:10:51You of all people.

0:10:51 > 0:10:55You disappoint me. If you don't mind me saying so.

0:10:55 > 0:10:56Staying with drama,

0:10:56 > 0:11:00and after last week's uproar over the pre-watershed scheduling

0:11:00 > 0:11:03of the new police drama Cuffs, there's been quite a bit of debate

0:11:03 > 0:11:08over whether there are currently just too many cop shows on the BBC.

0:11:08 > 0:11:10Control, this is 220...

0:11:10 > 0:11:15As well as Cuffs, there's River, From Darkness, Arne Dahl,

0:11:15 > 0:11:17The Young Montalbano,

0:11:17 > 0:11:20and comedy series Top Coppers.

0:11:20 > 0:11:22Not bad.

0:11:22 > 0:11:26It seems the police are everywhere on the BBC, you just can't escape them.

0:11:26 > 0:11:29MUSIC: Theme from The Naked Gun

0:11:36 > 0:11:40I have noticed recently that we've an awful lot of police dramas on.

0:11:40 > 0:11:44Cuffs, River, and even Arne Dahl on BBC Four.

0:11:44 > 0:11:47Is it possible to sort of spread them out over the year?

0:11:47 > 0:11:50Sometimes it feels like every other scripted programme on BBC One

0:11:50 > 0:11:53is a police drama, and few of them distinctive.

0:11:53 > 0:11:57I'd like to see more comedy, and dramas in other settings.

0:12:04 > 0:12:09But not everyone is complaining. Some of you can't get enough cop action.

0:12:09 > 0:12:12Every time I see another crime show on TV I think, "Not another one!"

0:12:12 > 0:12:18But they've all been amazing. Cuffs is funny, River is interesting.

0:12:18 > 0:12:20I don't know quite what is going to happen.

0:12:20 > 0:12:23Partners In Crime was hilarious, one of the best shows I've ever seen.

0:12:23 > 0:12:26And New Tricks probably had their best...

0:12:26 > 0:12:28Definitely had their best season ever.

0:12:28 > 0:12:31I really love that one, so, yes, keep them coming.

0:12:33 > 0:12:36I think they were having too much fun with that blue light.

0:12:36 > 0:12:39Thanks to all of you who got in touch to air your views this week,

0:12:39 > 0:12:43and every week of this series. We've been overwhelmed by the number of you

0:12:43 > 0:12:48who took the time to write, call and record your own viewer videos.

0:12:48 > 0:12:51The first episode of this new series captured the charm,

0:12:51 > 0:12:55wit and humour of the original. It was fantastic, I just loved it.

0:12:55 > 0:12:56Shame on you, BBC.

0:12:56 > 0:12:59It was inspirational and motivating,

0:12:59 > 0:13:03and it just proves that anyone can follow their dreams and succeed.

0:13:03 > 0:13:06It is addictive viewing, it is a guilty pleasure,

0:13:06 > 0:13:08but one that I shall be rejoicing in many times, hopefully.

0:13:08 > 0:13:13I was really angry and upset. This is a family programme.

0:13:13 > 0:13:15It is not exactly ground-breaking television,

0:13:15 > 0:13:18but it's certainly enjoyable in its own right.

0:13:18 > 0:13:20I'm really looking forward to the next episode.

0:13:20 > 0:13:23I'm sure there will be further twists and intrigue to come.

0:13:23 > 0:13:25I was very disappointed in the programme.

0:13:25 > 0:13:29I'm totally addicted to it, but, like, it hurts my stomach at the same time.

0:13:29 > 0:13:31In praise or criticism,

0:13:31 > 0:13:35good or bad, your views are what makes this programme a success.

0:13:35 > 0:13:38Without them, the show simply wouldn't exist.

0:13:40 > 0:13:42We are off air now until the spring,

0:13:42 > 0:13:44but that doesn't mean you can't continue the conversation

0:13:44 > 0:13:49online, on Facebook, for example, on Twitter, on our message boards.

0:13:49 > 0:13:54So do keep talking there, we will return to do it all again in 2016.

0:13:54 > 0:13:56Until then, goodbye.
