0:00:02 > 0:00:04And we're back. Welcome to the show that gives YOU the chance
0:00:04 > 0:00:07to have YOUR say on the BBC television programmes
0:00:07 > 0:00:09you've loved and loathed.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11This is your Points Of View.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Last weekend was, of course, Easter,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27and the BBC marked the occasion with some dedicated programmes.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29You were happy with their offering.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32CHORAL MUSIC PLAYS
0:00:37 > 0:00:40THE POPE SPEAKS LATIN
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Good Friday on BBC one saw Fern Britton travel to Jerusalem
0:00:51 > 0:00:53for a life-changing journey
0:00:53 > 0:00:56in search of the real story of Jesus's final days on earth.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01It is truly amazing when you think that that person
0:01:01 > 0:01:04- who is so important for millions of people across the world...- Yeah.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08- that he was actually at this spot. - Yes.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12He would have known this place, yes.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15And recognised the features that you see around you.
0:01:15 > 0:01:16Oh, Shimmala, what a story.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53High praise, indeed, for Fern.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57And onto a different journey. Peter Capaldi is back in the TARDIS
0:01:57 > 0:02:00for the tenth series of Doctor Who.
0:02:00 > 0:02:01This is the final outing for Capaldi
0:02:01 > 0:02:05as he passes the sonic screwdriver to Doctor number 13.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08I'll see you at 6pm every weekday. I don't care who is dying.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Never, ever be late. I'm very particular about time.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Oh, um...
0:02:17 > 0:02:18People just call you the doctor.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22What do I call you?
0:02:22 > 0:02:24The Doctor.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27But doctor's not a name. I can't just call you Doctor.
0:02:29 > 0:02:30Dr What?
0:02:31 > 0:02:33In the opening episode last Saturday,
0:02:33 > 0:02:37we met new companion Bill Potts, played by Pearl Mackie.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40You were keen to send your thoughts on her debut.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Peter Capaldi and his new assistant,
0:02:42 > 0:02:44as played by Pearl Mackie,
0:02:44 > 0:02:46were absolutely fantastic.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49It's never easy introducing a brand-new character
0:02:49 > 0:02:51into any series, let alone Doctor Who,
0:02:51 > 0:02:55whilst keeping the narrative moving forward
0:02:55 > 0:02:58as you have to introduce the character to the Doctor
0:02:58 > 0:03:01and also to the public at large.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04But I think Steven Moffat did a first-class job.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07I think this series of Doctor Who
0:03:07 > 0:03:09has a new freshness about it
0:03:09 > 0:03:11with great acting and great
0:03:11 > 0:03:14scriptwriting by all involved.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16And I think it's going to be
0:03:16 > 0:03:18a good pairing with Pearl Mackie and
0:03:18 > 0:03:19Peter Capaldi.
0:03:28 > 0:03:33Ah, Ace, played by Sophie Aldred, companion of the seventh Doctor,
0:03:33 > 0:03:36first appeared on screen in 1987.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38You didn't know I was a Whovian.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42The new series, the new companion receiving rave reviews, then.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45And it continues on BBC ONE, Saturday nights
0:03:45 > 0:03:46at 7:20 PM.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50From science fiction to science fact now,
0:03:50 > 0:03:53and the BBC's latest natural history series.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01Liz Bonnin joined a scientific team on an expedition across the
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Galapagos Islands to carry out important research
0:04:04 > 0:04:07that will help protect the area and its inhabitants.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Wolf Volcano.
0:04:11 > 0:04:12Sitting above the clouds.
0:04:12 > 0:04:18It is the tallest volcano in the Galapagos, 1,700 metres.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20You thought it was visually stunning
0:04:20 > 0:04:23but audibly not so much.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28An expedition like this on this sort of scale
0:04:28 > 0:04:30has never been attempted in the Galapagos before.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11Strong words for a complaint we have had on our desk time and again.
0:05:11 > 0:05:12So keep your comments coming, good and bad,
0:05:12 > 0:05:15you can get in touch in the usual ways.
0:05:18 > 0:05:19..or via the website.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24..where you can also send us a video.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26We're on social media too, of course. Tweet us at...
0:05:28 > 0:05:30..or join in the conversation about the week's television
0:05:30 > 0:05:32on our Facebook page.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43Now in its 19th series, Holby City is always appointment to view,
0:05:43 > 0:05:45every Tuesday on BBC ONE.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49And the writers are never afraid to tackle the tough issues.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53Thee recent domestic abuse storyline between Dominic and Isaac
0:05:53 > 0:05:55had you gripped.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57I'm proud of you.
0:06:01 > 0:06:02Proud?!
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Could you be any more patronising?
0:06:09 > 0:06:12You make me do this, Dominic.
0:06:13 > 0:06:14No, I'm not.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49We caught up with David Ames, the actor who plays
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Dr Dominic Copeland.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Domestic abuse on any level is an important subject to be shown
0:06:54 > 0:06:57on national television.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Gay domestic abuse is something that is rarely touched upon.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02For Dominic and Isaac at the moment,
0:07:02 > 0:07:05this relationship has been going for a few months,
0:07:05 > 0:07:09and to look back, you would see that the seeds of emotional abuse
0:07:09 > 0:07:11were there throughout.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14I feel the writers on the show, the directors,
0:07:14 > 0:07:19everyone involved here on Holby City give everything to ensure
0:07:19 > 0:07:23that what are usually considered minority voices
0:07:23 > 0:07:26are given a prime-time slot to be aired.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28But it's not been a totally clean bill of health
0:07:28 > 0:07:29according to some of you.
0:07:54 > 0:07:59Well, we decided to put this concern to Holby City directly.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Avid viewer Lesley Hatcher
0:08:01 > 0:08:04visited the set to meet the BBC's head of continuing drama series,
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Oliver Kent.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17This is our set. This is our cafe
0:08:17 > 0:08:20and where all the emotional stuff happens.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24So this is Darwin Ward, the original ward from the show which,
0:08:24 > 0:08:26now, obviously, we've expanded hugely.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29After a tour of the set, it was down to business.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32First of all, I'd like to say that I like Holby City.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34And I feel that the two gay storylines on the programme
0:08:34 > 0:08:37have taken over the content.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40I don't have any problem portraying gay relationships on the screen,
0:08:40 > 0:08:44but I feel the balance between the two medical storylines
0:08:44 > 0:08:46and these relationships is disproportionate.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50We feel that within Holby City, we represent all of modern Britain.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Representing gay characters on television is contemporary
0:08:53 > 0:08:56and is current and there is no reason why we shouldn't.
0:08:56 > 0:09:01We play to a very wide audience, not all of whom look and sound like me.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03And therefore, it's important that we cover absolutely
0:09:03 > 0:09:05everything within the world of Holby City.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Why do you feel it's important to include
0:09:07 > 0:09:11so many gay storylines in this programme?
0:09:11 > 0:09:13So we have four out of our 18 characters that,
0:09:13 > 0:09:15at the moment, are of a gay persuasion.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18I don't think that is an overrepresentation,
0:09:18 > 0:09:20and it feels like modern urban life to those of us who make the show
0:09:20 > 0:09:23and to most of our audience.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26In the 19 years of Holby's history, we have had a huge number of
0:09:26 > 0:09:29characters of all different types of ethnicity and sexual orientation,
0:09:29 > 0:09:32something that we are very, very proud of and we always have been.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36Are you trying to comply with the BBC Diversity Programme
0:09:36 > 0:09:40by including so many gay characters?
0:09:40 > 0:09:44There is no specific requirement for us to include any particular area.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47There are no quotas, there are no targets.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Holby City is ultimately a character-led show.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52It's not as if we would choose an issue and say,
0:09:52 > 0:09:55"Today, we are going to do gay bullying.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59"Today, we are going to do an issue about female sexuality."
0:09:59 > 0:10:01It's always, always character first.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Well, thank you for listening to me today.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05- Thank you very much.- A pleasure.
0:10:05 > 0:10:10I thought Oliver explained the way they put the storylines together
0:10:10 > 0:10:13very well, I was very pleased with what he said
0:10:13 > 0:10:16and I understand now why they emphasised
0:10:16 > 0:10:20certain parts of it so much. But I'm quite happy with it
0:10:20 > 0:10:23and I'll continue to watch this programme in the future.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Thank you, Lesley, for going to hospital for us.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Now, from Holby to hotels,
0:10:28 > 0:10:31and BBC TWO has been giving us a rare glimpse beyond the lobby.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38The hotel's got five stars,
0:10:38 > 0:10:41but one of the presenters didn't score quite so highly.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44They come with their hands clean and they haven't wiped their hands.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45And they go like that.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Ha-ha. So that's why we always do with the cloth
0:10:48 > 0:10:49when you touch the car.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Even if my hands are really clean, it...
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Yes, it's always the clean. Ha-ha.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03That's amazing. So then you can close it without touching it?
0:11:03 > 0:11:04Oh, my goodness!
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Can I slide over the top, you know, like in the Dukes Of Hazzard?
0:11:18 > 0:11:19No. Ha-ha-ha!
0:11:29 > 0:11:32We can't use that. I'm really sorry.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Finally, it's All Round To Mrs Brown's
0:11:34 > 0:11:36for a good old knees up.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40# So It's All Round To Mrs Brown's. #
0:11:41 > 0:11:44The Irish matriarch is back on our screens
0:11:44 > 0:11:46with a big BBC ONE Saturday night show
0:11:46 > 0:11:50featuring celebrity guests, music and chat.
0:11:50 > 0:11:51It's proving to be a good night in.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55- Agnes...- What, Winnie? - Why do most women have problems
0:11:55 > 0:11:58- with their husbands? - Some women do, but most women don't.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00- Well, who don't, then?- Widows.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22- Jesus himself often used metaphors. - Yeah, he did.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Like when he would say "flock".
0:12:24 > 0:12:26HE GRUNTS
0:12:26 > 0:12:27Flock.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32Flock, like "Get ye here, my flock. That was a metaphor for "people."
0:12:32 > 0:12:36Oh, right. So when he said fish, what did he mean?
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Fish.
0:12:52 > 0:12:53A touching review indeed.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56The man behind the make-up sent us this message.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01Hello! Hello, Points Of View. Good to talk to you.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Listen, I only want to say, that beautiful Tweet
0:13:03 > 0:13:06that that man made,
0:13:06 > 0:13:08about his mother, and how he heard her laugh?
0:13:10 > 0:13:11I'm delighted.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14And let me tell you something, you get good reviews and you get
0:13:14 > 0:13:17bad reviews and that's the way it goes, but you know what?
0:13:17 > 0:13:18That's the best review. He-he!
0:13:20 > 0:13:22- The rest of them can just - BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP- off.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Mrs Brown herself. Great stuff.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Well, that is it from us for another week.
0:13:29 > 0:13:34We are back next Sunday at the hopefully memorable time of 4.05pm.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37See you then.
