0:00:02 > 0:00:04Two takes on life in London's East End have had you talking
0:00:04 > 0:00:07this week, and you are ticked off at the tinkering with
0:00:07 > 0:00:10a format that is almost 40 years old.
0:00:10 > 0:00:14Welcome to the show where you get to have your say on the week's TV.
0:00:25 > 0:00:30It was time for BBC One and BBC Two to burst into bloom again this week.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35Beginning with an hour-long preview show last Sunday, between them,
0:00:35 > 0:00:39the channels have devoted over 12 hours to coverage of this
0:00:39 > 0:00:43year's Chelsea Flower Show, with the presenting line-up including
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Monty Don, Joe Swift, Nicki Chapman and James Wong.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50There is something here for absolutely everyone,
0:00:50 > 0:00:55including the unique view of the artist, Grayson Perry.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Taste is something that I've, you know,
0:00:57 > 0:01:01been fascinated with all my life, and when people say,
0:01:01 > 0:01:06"I like something," that's a huge complex thought.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Your opinion on this year's broadcast was pretty cut
0:01:09 > 0:01:11and dried, feeling there was too much talk
0:01:11 > 0:01:15and not enough time just to gaze at the gardens.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17All through the winter, we wait,
0:01:17 > 0:01:20waiting for Chelsea Flower Show to come. What will we see?
0:01:20 > 0:01:24Beautiful plants, flowers, the colour, the spectacle, the wow.
0:01:24 > 0:01:29But do we see it? No. Monday and Tuesday were really disappointing.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Lots of inconsequential chat.
0:01:46 > 0:01:51And it wasn't just the show's focus on patter, rather than plants,
0:01:51 > 0:01:52you were bemoaning.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56When it came to your thoughts on one of the presenters' attire,
0:01:56 > 0:01:58you did not beat around the bush.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02Hello, and welcome to Chelsea Flower Show.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04It's nice to be back, isn't it? Sort of familiar surroundings.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15On Monday, he was wearing a jacket two sizes too large for him,
0:02:15 > 0:02:19and yesterday, Tuesday, he appeared to come straight from his garden.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Can somebody please ask him to smarten up?
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Grounds, perhaps, for Monty to turn over a new leaf
0:02:24 > 0:02:27when it comes to choosing his Chelsea clobber.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29You can see highlights of this year's
0:02:29 > 0:02:33Chelsea Flower Show on BBC One tomorrow night at 7.30pm,
0:02:33 > 0:02:35or BBC Two, if you are in Northern Ireland.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39MUSIC: Nostalgia by Emily Barker
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Four years after he last graced our screens in the role,
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Sunday night saw Kenneth Branagh return for a final
0:02:45 > 0:02:49outing as the Swedish detective Wallander, in the first
0:02:49 > 0:02:52of three stories adapted from Henning Mankell's novels.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Maybe we should get you moving.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00In The White Lioness, Kenneth's character Kurt left scenic Sweden
0:03:00 > 0:03:03behind for an equally spectacular South African setting.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Visiting Cape Town for a conference, the detective was
0:03:06 > 0:03:10quickly caught up in the case of a missing Swedish woman.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Sergeant Mthembu and her colleagues are doing everything they can.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15I know it's frustrating,
0:03:15 > 0:03:19but if you talk to the press and not the police,
0:03:19 > 0:03:21it's getting in the way of the investigation.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24While some were fans of the story and star...
0:03:28 > 0:03:31..both fell pretty far short of the mark for others.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51And, for at least one of you, Sunday's adaptation did the
0:03:51 > 0:03:53original novel a real disservice.
0:04:09 > 0:04:14Mum was the word on Friday night, as BBC Two's new sitcom reached
0:04:14 > 0:04:17the halfway point in its six-episode run.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Brought to us by the writer and creative team behind
0:04:20 > 0:04:24BBC Three's Bafta-winning comedy Him And Her, Mum stars
0:04:24 > 0:04:29Olivier Award-winner Lesley Manville as Cathy, a woman trying to
0:04:29 > 0:04:33rebuild her life in the year following her husband's death.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Big sis! Haven't you grown?
0:04:36 > 0:04:37THEY LAUGH
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- I always say that, don't I? - Yeah, it's great.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44- Oh, you remember Pauline?- Yeah. Nice to see you again. Thanks for coming.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47No, not at all. I love a funeral.
0:04:47 > 0:04:48Good.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Though depicting a scenario perhaps not normally associated with
0:04:52 > 0:04:55humour, there was plenty of praise for this one.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15A future classic, perhaps, but views were varied on whether the
0:05:15 > 0:05:19show's portrayal of life after losing a loved one was authentic.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40You can make your mind up on Mum by catching the series on the iPlayer.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44While the passing of Peggy Mitchell in EastEnders proved a talking point
0:05:44 > 0:05:46for you last week, once more,
0:05:46 > 0:05:49activity in Albert Square has had you getting in touch.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54As Martin and Stacey celebrated their wedding in the
0:05:54 > 0:05:58Queen Vic last Friday, life in the Beale household took a
0:05:58 > 0:06:01sinister turn, when Jane arrived home to collect the couple's
0:06:01 > 0:06:07wedding cake, and discovered her adoptive son Bobby packing his bags.
0:06:07 > 0:06:12You will not go out that door! Do you understand me?
0:06:12 > 0:06:14You can't tell me what to do. Ain't even my real mum.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26Well, in that case, I'll ring your father, and he can sort you out.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30Next, viewers saw Bobby approach Jane from behind, hitting her
0:06:30 > 0:06:34on the head with a hockey stick. After she slumped onto
0:06:34 > 0:06:38the table, two more thuds were heard, and blood was seen
0:06:38 > 0:06:42splattering across Stacey's and Martin's cake, before viewers
0:06:42 > 0:06:44then heard Jane fall to the floor.
0:06:44 > 0:06:49Broadcast just before 8.30pm, some of you felt the scene fell on
0:06:49 > 0:06:51the wrong side of the watershed.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28Here is what the BBC had to say in response to those comments.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49Now, real-life tales from London's East End came under the
0:07:49 > 0:07:52microscope on BBC One on Tuesday night.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55The Last Whites Of The East End recorded the thoughts and
0:07:55 > 0:08:00experiences of members of Newham's white working class community,
0:08:00 > 0:08:03as they chose to remain in or leave an area which had
0:08:03 > 0:08:08seen their numbers dwindle by half in the last 15 years.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11It's not like the old East End. Everyone knew everyone,
0:08:11 > 0:08:14leave your doors open, you knew who you was hanging around with,
0:08:14 > 0:08:17- you don't know any more.- And it's not your children, it's other people
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- now as well.- It is other people as well, and it's just scary, I think.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24The hour-long documentary was well-received by some...
0:08:37 > 0:08:41..but this one definitely divided opinion. Some of you felt
0:08:41 > 0:08:44exploring the effects of immigration through the eyes of just one
0:08:44 > 0:08:48section of the community led to a programme which was unbalanced
0:08:48 > 0:08:50and bordering on racist.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Well, after criticism of the show on social media was picked up by
0:09:19 > 0:09:23the press, the BBC defended the programme, saying the following...
0:09:45 > 0:09:50Next up for appraisal - an item dating back to 1979, which
0:09:50 > 0:09:53normally receives a high valuation.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59The 38th series of Antiques Roadshow recently drew to a close on
0:09:59 > 0:10:03BBC One, with Fiona Bruce and the show's assortment of experts
0:10:03 > 0:10:07having examined prized possessions, ranging from clocks and cameras,
0:10:07 > 0:10:10to collectibles from China.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14Her mending a dragon robe is supposed to represent
0:10:14 > 0:10:19correcting a mistake or an error of the emperor.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Previously, viewers were able to stay with an item, hearing
0:10:22 > 0:10:26its history before its value. This year, however,
0:10:26 > 0:10:30in some instances, the programme has chosen to mix it up, quickly
0:10:30 > 0:10:34switching between two collectibles before their values are revealed.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36You can imagine how splendid the gardens were then,
0:10:36 > 0:10:38as they look again now.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Then the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland decided to try
0:10:40 > 0:10:42something else with this property.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44They created the Art Deco swimming pool, and you went
0:10:44 > 0:10:46- to that pool.- Yep, we all went, didn't we?
0:10:46 > 0:10:48- You all swam in it? - Absolutely, yeah.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51They do say, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
0:10:51 > 0:10:54I was saddened to see that the details about some of the items
0:10:54 > 0:10:57have now been split into assorted segments.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00This really breaks the continuity about the items.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03I'd just like to know, who thinks this is a better way?
0:11:22 > 0:11:25In fact, the format-tinkering has meant you have been reaching
0:11:25 > 0:11:26for your remotes.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Soundbites of that sort of thing just not needed.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31I don't think it works.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33It was that annoying, I had to switch it off.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Please, please, please, go back to the original.
0:11:36 > 0:11:37It's a mishmash.
0:11:38 > 0:11:39Do you like it?
0:11:39 > 0:11:42You're clear you don't like it. We fed your feelings back to
0:11:42 > 0:11:47the show's executive producer, Simon Shaw, and here's his response.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Finally this week, we were very intrigued to receive the
0:12:05 > 0:12:09following e-mail concerning BBC One's new daytime series,
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Council House Crackdown.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20Driven by the prospect of a scoop on a council office rodent
0:12:20 > 0:12:24infestation, our crack team of researchers immediately
0:12:24 > 0:12:27sprang into action, and they had soon tracked down the scene
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Graham had spotted. Take a look for yourself.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34And that enabled me to be able to apply for his bank statements.
0:12:34 > 0:12:35Let's take another look.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39DRAMATIC MUSIC
0:12:41 > 0:12:45On closer examination of the evidence, though, our delight soon
0:12:45 > 0:12:50turned to bitter disappointment when we saw this a few seconds later.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54Not a rat at all, but actually the top of a head, belonging to
0:12:54 > 0:12:57a human, seen opening a cupboard here.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Oh, rats! That's all for this week, but whether you have got a
0:13:00 > 0:13:04view on last night's Musketeers or tonight's Top Gear,
0:13:04 > 0:13:08please do keep your comments on the week's TV coming. You can record and
