0:00:03 > 0:00:06The new comedy that's split not just sides but also opinion.

0:00:06 > 0:00:08And the rock guitarist's channel takeover

0:00:08 > 0:00:10that struck the right chord.

0:00:10 > 0:00:14All that and more coming up in the show that lets you have your

0:00:14 > 0:00:16say on the week's TV.

0:00:16 > 0:00:18Welcome to your Points Of View.

0:00:29 > 0:00:30First up this week,

0:00:30 > 0:00:34the brooding Sunday night drama set in 18th-century Cornwall.

0:00:36 > 0:00:40Last Sunday's episode of Poldark was nothing if not busy.

0:00:40 > 0:00:44We had Demelza going into labour at sea, and Ross sizing up

0:00:44 > 0:00:47a tempting but potentially dangerous offer from a smuggler.

0:00:47 > 0:00:49So here's the thing.

0:00:49 > 0:00:52We've run out of navigable inlets.

0:00:55 > 0:00:58And I possess the only one for miles.

0:00:58 > 0:01:00The first series of this Poldark adaptation scooped the

0:01:00 > 0:01:03Audience Award at the BAFTAs earlier this year

0:01:03 > 0:01:08and, so far, there has been plenty of praise for season two and its actors.

0:01:23 > 0:01:24Steady on!

0:01:24 > 0:01:28Some, however, feel this series has hit a rocky patch,

0:01:28 > 0:01:31with at least one of you switching off after episode one.

0:01:35 > 0:01:38Um...not that I'm aware of. Carry on, Elizabeth.

0:01:50 > 0:01:54Well, for others, it's all become just a bit too gloomy.

0:01:54 > 0:01:57So much of it is filmed in almost complete darkness.

0:01:58 > 0:02:00You can't see the actors' faces.

0:02:00 > 0:02:04Sometimes it's difficult even to make out what room they're in.

0:02:04 > 0:02:08Is this all part of the BBC cutting down?

0:02:08 > 0:02:10Don't give them any ideas, Beryl,

0:02:10 > 0:02:13or they'll all be at it! That's better.

0:02:13 > 0:02:17Filming's underway now for Poldark's third series.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19Maybe they'll have found more florins for their meter.

0:02:21 > 0:02:25The pressures and difficult decisions faced daily by the staff of

0:02:25 > 0:02:29Britain's biggest ambulance service were brought into sharp focus in

0:02:29 > 0:02:33the first of a new three-part series on BBC One this week.

0:02:33 > 0:02:37Following the call-handlers and crews of the London Ambulance Service,

0:02:37 > 0:02:41Tuesday night's Ambulance saw drastic action having to be taken

0:02:41 > 0:02:46when a spike in 999 calls outstripped the number of ambulances available.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49We've got quite a big portion of London that's not got

0:02:49 > 0:02:51any cover at the moment.

0:02:51 > 0:02:54The patient has been on the floor for 50 minutes, waiting for an

0:02:54 > 0:02:56ambulance to become available.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59You were full of admiration for not only the insight into

0:02:59 > 0:03:03the service, but also the men and women responsible for saving lives.

0:03:31 > 0:03:33Ambulance continues on Tuesday night.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36Now, if my own experience is anything to go by,

0:03:36 > 0:03:4015 famous faces are desperately trying to deal with their fear

0:03:40 > 0:03:44as they waited in the wings on BBC One last weekend.

0:03:44 > 0:03:46Friday and Saturday night

0:03:46 > 0:03:49saw Strictly Come Dancing live shows kick off in style,

0:03:49 > 0:03:53as this year's crop of celebrities took to the floor, aiming to impress.

0:03:53 > 0:03:57Top marks went to an emotional performance from model Daisy Lowe

0:03:57 > 0:04:00and her partner, Aljaz.

0:04:00 > 0:04:03You are dazzling, Daisy, I have to say. Thank you so much.

0:04:03 > 0:04:08Because this had the radiant quality of old school glamour

0:04:08 > 0:04:11and high-class fashion combined.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13You were dazzled by the dancing,

0:04:13 > 0:04:15and have perhaps found a favourite or two already.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48Z-list, Diane? Puh-lease!

0:04:48 > 0:04:50But the shows didn't waltz off completely free of criticism.

0:04:50 > 0:04:55Some pointed out the Friday show's 9pm start time meant younger

0:04:55 > 0:04:59Strictly fans were tucked up well before the tuxes were donned.

0:05:11 > 0:05:13While others feel it's high time

0:05:13 > 0:05:16the studio audience learned to simmer down.

0:05:24 > 0:05:28Well, to find out how fans of frantic footwork scored the

0:05:28 > 0:05:32launch of this year's live shows, Neil Strawson headed to Edinburgh.

0:05:36 > 0:05:40Ladies, I picked you out for your vintage clothing. You look great.

0:05:40 > 0:05:41Are you Strictly fans and why?

0:05:41 > 0:05:43I just think it's brilliant that there's a programme on TV

0:05:43 > 0:05:46that shows that you can start dancing at any age, from scratch.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49It's great to watch, it's Saturday night family viewing,

0:05:49 > 0:05:50and it makes you want to dance.

0:05:50 > 0:05:53My boyfriend won't watch it so I have to sort of covertly watch it

0:05:53 > 0:05:54when he's not in.

0:05:54 > 0:05:58It feels like a nice big autumnal hug when it comes back on again.

0:05:58 > 0:06:00It's like...aw! Strictly's back on again!

0:06:03 > 0:06:05What did you make of the show last week?

0:06:05 > 0:06:08I thought it was exceptional this time. It definitely does feel fresh.

0:06:08 > 0:06:09It feels like there's a real energy to it.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12I think the standard of dancing's better... Mm-hmm.

0:06:12 > 0:06:14..and the standard of personality and sassiness.

0:06:17 > 0:06:19The gymnast girl... Claudia.

0:06:19 > 0:06:22That backflip that she did... In heels. ..was pretty special.

0:06:22 > 0:06:25I think that was something else, wasn't it? Yep, yep.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30What would you change? In between the dancers,

0:06:30 > 0:06:33I'm more interested in maybe seeing the rehearsal time

0:06:33 > 0:06:35and seeing the process that they've gone through.

0:06:35 > 0:06:39I think there can be a bit too much talking sometimes, like,

0:06:39 > 0:06:41there's quite a lot of times where I just fast forward.

0:06:41 > 0:06:43Life is strange, isn't it, Ed?

0:06:43 > 0:06:45I think Len is as grumpy as ever,

0:06:45 > 0:06:48and I feel like Len was being a bit harsh.

0:06:48 > 0:06:50Don't get on my wick early on!

0:06:50 > 0:06:53So, come on, who's your favourite? I love Will Young. Yeah.

0:06:53 > 0:06:57You know, he's my... The tango was pretty amazing.

0:07:00 > 0:07:02Judge Rinder was outstanding.

0:07:02 > 0:07:06He was fabulous. Came out dancing like Voldemort.

0:07:11 > 0:07:13And the verdict here in Edinburgh?

0:07:13 > 0:07:16We love Strictly!

0:07:16 > 0:07:20Oh, that gave me a dancing pang. Good luck to this year's contestants.

0:07:20 > 0:07:24As Strictly sambaed onto BBC One last weekend, a star famed for

0:07:24 > 0:07:28energetic performances was taking over BBC Four's schedules.

0:07:28 > 0:07:31Please do not adjust your set.

0:07:31 > 0:07:34Normal service will not be resumed.

0:07:34 > 0:07:36Welcome to the permanent night shift.

0:07:36 > 0:07:40Keith Richards' Lost Weekend saw the Rolling Stones guitarist take the

0:07:40 > 0:07:44helm of the channel, serving up three nights of personally picked,

0:07:44 > 0:07:47dusk to dawn programming. An eclectic mix of films and

0:07:47 > 0:07:52documentaries was interspersed with an intimate interview with him.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54How important is it to be honest with yourself?

0:07:54 > 0:07:55Oh, I never do...never go there!

0:07:59 > 0:08:02No, I'm most brutal on myself, actually.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05With parts of the schedule not revealed in advance,

0:08:05 > 0:08:07there were some surprises in store.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10But the whole experience left you with

0:08:10 > 0:08:13a definite feeling you could get satisfaction.

0:08:26 > 0:08:29I really enjoyed the Keith Richards weekend on BBC Four.

0:08:29 > 0:08:34It was funny, inventive and witty. Just everything great TV should be.

0:08:34 > 0:08:38And Keith Richards just might be this country's best philosopher.

0:08:42 > 0:08:45And you were quick to suggest those in charge of the BBC's channels

0:08:45 > 0:08:49could learn a thing or two from the rocker's range of programming.

0:09:02 > 0:09:06Opening its doors to television cameras on Monday night was

0:09:06 > 0:09:07Mann Management,

0:09:07 > 0:09:11a talent agency home to the likes of Gregg Wallace and Miranda Hart.

0:09:11 > 0:09:14The new spoof documentary from the Australian-born impressionist

0:09:14 > 0:09:19Morgana Robinson sees the comedienne play the agency's entire

0:09:19 > 0:09:23celebrity roster, including EastEnders' Danny Dyer,

0:09:23 > 0:09:28who this week was eager to diversify into children's literature.

0:09:28 > 0:09:31You stink. When was the last time you had a bath? It's been weeks.

0:09:31 > 0:09:33The main character, Danny The Bear,

0:09:33 > 0:09:36I want to play the geezer when they make a movie out of it.

0:09:36 > 0:09:37Why's it all damp?

0:09:37 > 0:09:41Tears, Vin. I put me heart and soul into it.

0:09:41 > 0:09:43The Agency tickled the funny bone of some.

0:09:48 > 0:09:53I think the show worked really well. I really liked Miranda Hart.

0:09:53 > 0:09:56I think the voice and the mannerisms were spot on.

0:09:56 > 0:09:58Well, hello there!

0:09:58 > 0:10:02What a veritable thrill it is to see you again, my what I call...

0:10:02 > 0:10:05Oh, my God! Oh!

0:10:05 > 0:10:07But it would be fair to say the show did not make

0:10:07 > 0:10:09a favourable impression on all of you.

0:10:24 > 0:10:25Perhaps not for everyone, then.

0:10:25 > 0:10:29As was the case with BBC One and BBC Two heading off to the oche

0:10:29 > 0:10:32last weekend for more than 13 hours of coverage from the

0:10:32 > 0:10:35inaugural Champions League Of Darts.

0:10:37 > 0:10:40The broadcast signalled a new era for the sport on the BBC,

0:10:40 > 0:10:45after 38 years of showing the British Darts Organisation's Championships.

0:10:45 > 0:10:48The two-day tournament saw the cream of the Professional Darts

0:10:48 > 0:10:51Corporation circuit compete, with Phil Taylor crowned champion.

0:10:51 > 0:10:561-1-4 for the title.

0:11:00 > 0:11:04Double 17. Oh, yes!

0:11:04 > 0:11:07Plenty of you took aim at the blanket broadcast.

0:11:31 > 0:11:33But, for the darts fans amongst you,

0:11:33 > 0:11:38the coverage, presented by Jason Mohammad, really scored 180!

0:11:47 > 0:11:50It was fantastic to see the World Championship Of Darts

0:11:50 > 0:11:52on the BBC at the weekend.

0:11:52 > 0:11:55Both commentators and players made for an exciting

0:11:55 > 0:11:57and thrilling tournament.

0:11:57 > 0:12:00And finally it is faux-pas time once again.

0:12:00 > 0:12:05After featuring Ripper Street's union flag foul up last week,

0:12:05 > 0:12:09military drama Our Girl surfaced on the radars of the eagle-eyed

0:12:09 > 0:12:10amongst you this week.

0:12:13 > 0:12:16Episode three in the BBC One series saw Michelle Keegan's character

0:12:16 > 0:12:19staring at a stunning sunset in Mombasa.

0:12:23 > 0:12:25But, as you were quick to point out...

0:12:33 > 0:12:37The sun does, of course, set in the West. Well done, Gordon.

0:12:37 > 0:12:39And everyone else who spotted the slip-up.

0:12:39 > 0:12:41Here's what the makers of Our Girl had to say.

0:13:00 > 0:13:03Keep those clangers coming, please. We love them.

0:13:03 > 0:13:06And whether something you see on the BBC's television channels this

0:13:06 > 0:13:09week leaves you pleased or peeved, we want to hear about it.

0:13:12 > 0:13:16Or get in touch through our website...

0:13:23 > 0:13:26watching, too. You can tweet us...

0:13:31 > 0:13:35We're back right here on BBC One at 2.45 next Sunday afternoon.

0:13:35 > 0:13:36So I'll see you then.
