It's been a week that has seen the BBC bring us mammals in Mexico,

0:00:020:00:04

intrigue in Ireland and even yodelling from Ukraine,

0:00:040:00:08

so let me take you on a whistle-stop tour of your thoughts on the

0:00:080:00:12

week's television programmes.

0:00:120:00:14

Welcome to your Points Of View.

0:00:140:00:16

First up this week, the harrowing true tale of three teenage girls

0:00:260:00:31

at the centre of the Rochdale sexual abuse scandal.

0:00:310:00:34

Unfolding over three nights on BBC One, the drama, Three Girls,

0:00:390:00:43

took four years to research, write and produce, with programme makers

0:00:430:00:47

carrying out multiple interviews with the victims and their families.

0:00:470:00:51

-I can't talk here.

-I want you to come home.

0:00:530:00:55

-Please.

-I've gone to the police.

0:00:570:00:59

-I don't know what they're going to do to us.

-Who? Who?

-The men.

0:01:010:01:06

They'll do nothing to us.

0:01:070:01:09

It was, without doubt, difficult viewing but you were pleased

0:01:100:01:13

to see the BBC bring the girl's stories to the small screen.

0:01:130:01:17

I've just finished watching episode two of Three Girls.

0:01:180:01:22

The first one was absolutely harrowing, heartbreaking,

0:01:220:01:25

really difficult to watch but I stayed tuned, I stuck with it.

0:01:250:01:30

Definitely worth a watch but it will make you angry, it will make

0:01:300:01:33

you sad but it highlights an issue and, unfortunately, it's real.

0:01:330:01:37

This did happen.

0:01:370:01:38

You were also full of admiration for the series cast.

0:01:550:01:59

All three episodes of Three Girls are available on the iPlayer.

0:02:060:02:11

Monday night saw BBC One under doctor's orders again

0:02:110:02:15

as Dr Rangan Chaterjee set-off on his rounds for a new series

0:02:150:02:18

of Doctor In The House.

0:02:180:02:20

The show sees the GP spend time with chronically ill patients hoping

0:02:210:02:25

to find better long-term solutions to their conditions.

0:02:250:02:29

In Monday's episode, he met mum of two Gemma, who doctors had

0:02:290:02:32

diagnosed as suffering from cluster headaches, often

0:02:320:02:36

referred to as suicide headaches because of their excruciating pain.

0:02:360:02:41

I think this is her fourth one today.

0:02:410:02:43

WOMAN CRIES

0:02:430:02:45

I've never seen anything like this.

0:02:470:02:50

Actually, it's a superhuman effort to actually have got used to this

0:02:500:02:54

and she'll probably walk out in a minute and just be absolutely fine.

0:02:540:02:58

Dr Chatterjee's bedside manner proved the perfect tonic for some.

0:03:010:03:04

However, the programme prompted criticism from those with

0:03:130:03:16

first-hand experience of cluster headaches.

0:03:160:03:19

Several disagreeing with Gemma's diagnosis.

0:03:190:03:22

After Dr Chatterjee placed Gemma on a restricted diet,

0:03:540:03:57

worked to improve her stress levels and sent her to

0:03:570:04:00

a chiropractor specialising in neurology, at the end of

0:04:000:04:04

Monday's episode, Gemma was seen showing signs of improvement.

0:04:040:04:09

I can't remember it being as good as this.

0:04:090:04:13

The only time it's been better than this has been when I was pregnant

0:04:130:04:16

and I didn't have them.

0:04:160:04:18

Those of you living with the condition felt that was irresponsible.

0:04:180:04:21

To imply that a change of diet,

0:04:340:04:37

a reduction of stress and a bit of help with neck problems is

0:04:370:04:40

the solution, will turn the little sympathy we cluster heads get

0:04:400:04:45

into intolerance.

0:04:450:04:47

How can I and others ever believe what we'll see again on

0:04:470:04:51

Doctor In The House? Shame on you, BBC.

0:04:510:04:54

We put all of those comments to the makers of Doctor In The House.

0:04:550:04:59

They said...

0:04:590:05:01

To the mesmerising landscapes of Mexico next.

0:05:380:05:42

With a sparse yet soothing voice-over

0:05:450:05:48

by World Service presenter Eliud Gabriel Porras,

0:05:480:05:51

BBC Two's Mexico: Earth's Festival Of Life

0:05:510:05:54

has been revealing the diversity of life in the Latin American country.

0:05:540:05:59

Last Sunday's second episode focused on the forest of the

0:05:590:06:02

Yucatan and featured the hidden inhabitants of its caves.

0:06:020:06:06

More than 3 million bats exit the cave.

0:06:070:06:10

MUSIC PLAYS

0:06:100:06:13

Those bats apparently consuming around 30 tonnes of insects each night.

0:06:220:06:28

You've been spellbound.

0:06:280:06:30

The commentary is brilliant.

0:06:300:06:32

What a beautiful voice and I'm enjoying learning something

0:06:320:06:36

new each time.

0:06:360:06:38

The photography is outstanding.

0:06:380:06:40

Careful, Tim. They might hear you.

0:06:480:06:50

I sense a "but" coming up.

0:06:560:06:57

And that's got to be the most common complaint we get

0:07:100:07:13

on Points Of View.

0:07:130:07:14

Will programme makers never learn?

0:07:140:07:16

Now, Monday night saw BBC Two back on Mexican territory.

0:07:160:07:21

This time aiming to uncover what happened to creatures of the

0:07:210:07:25

prehistoric kind in The Day The Dinosaurs Died.

0:07:250:07:29

As paleopathologist Alice Roberts travelled the globe searching

0:07:310:07:35

for evidence, biologist Ben Garrod joined a drilling

0:07:350:07:39

expedition in the Gulf of Mexico at the site of an asteroid impact

0:07:390:07:44

experts believe could be to blame for dinosaurs becoming extinct.

0:07:440:07:48

This, along with other core samples like it, can tell the team

0:07:490:07:52

so much information about what was going on at the time of the impact.

0:07:520:07:56

This one appears to be a seismic hit.

0:07:560:07:59

But not everyone was impressed by the presenters and scientist's enthusiasm.

0:08:140:08:19

Actually, our crack team of researchers counted more

0:08:380:08:41

hyperbole in total, Bill.

0:08:410:08:43

-Incredible.

-Just extraordinary.

0:08:430:08:45

-Amazing. Astonishing, huge...

-Absolutely enormous. Fantastic.

0:08:450:08:49

At least there weren't any mispronunciations.

0:09:020:09:05

Let's not get started on that one again.

0:09:050:09:07

Moving slightly closer to home, two of EastEnders'

0:09:070:09:10

best loved characters were back on our screens this week,

0:09:100:09:14

turning up in the fictional Irish coastal town of Redwater.

0:09:140:09:17

Spin-off series, Kat and Alfie: Redwater

0:09:190:09:21

sees Kat Moon and husband, Alfie, searching for Cat's long lost son in Ireland.

0:09:210:09:27

We headed to the Emerald Isle, Belfast, to be precise,

0:09:270:09:30

to get some EastEnders fans thoughts on episode one.

0:09:300:09:34

Because Kat and Alfie were two of my favourite parts in EastEnders,

0:09:340:09:37

when they left, us as a family were very gutted.

0:09:370:09:40

I think it's really good because we're going to see what their

0:09:400:09:42

next part was, what actually happened with them.

0:09:420:09:45

I'm sure it's weird for them not being in Walford any more but

0:09:450:09:47

it's going to be really nice seeing a new location and

0:09:470:09:50

a new storyline altogether.

0:09:500:09:52

You have Peter's house, don't you?

0:09:560:09:59

If you have any problems, he's always in the pub.

0:09:590:10:02

Typical Irishman, eh?

0:10:020:10:04

He's the landlord.

0:10:040:10:05

Alfie, a wee bit greyer, Kat more of a mother figure as opposed to

0:10:060:10:11

the party girl that she was.

0:10:110:10:14

-Very dramatic, very unexpected but I really enjoyed it.

-Loads of drama.

0:10:140:10:18

Really intense and really catching.

0:10:190:10:21

Now, this is what we're going to do.

0:10:210:10:24

-We're going to go down.

-No!

0:10:250:10:26

You don't want to go down.

0:10:310:10:32

So many mysterious twists, turns and secrets.

0:10:330:10:38

There's a huge reveal in the middle of the show.

0:10:380:10:41

It's something that you wouldn't have expected.

0:10:410:10:45

They seem to be kind of more quiet and content with life but

0:10:450:10:49

then you see they just react the way they always did because

0:10:490:10:52

-that's the way they are.

-Tommy?

0:10:520:10:54

This ain't our house so if you break anything, hide it.

0:10:540:10:58

A brilliant episode to watch and you just need to be prepared for

0:10:580:11:02

all these twists and turns that they're going to show you as the

0:11:020:11:05

series goes on.

0:11:050:11:06

I'll be watching all the episodes and I'm really looking forward to

0:11:060:11:09

seeing them all and to see how the whole thing unravels.

0:11:090:11:12

I'm really going to be tuning in for the next episode.

0:11:120:11:14

I'm going to be really excited because I'm really intrigued

0:11:140:11:16

to see what's going to happen.

0:11:160:11:18

Redwater is back on BBC One on Thursday night.

0:11:180:11:21

Next, bopping brides, yodelling rappers and dancing gorillas.

0:11:210:11:25

It can only mean one thing.

0:11:250:11:27

Eurovision had it all and more last Saturday night as the show

0:11:280:11:32

was beamed live from Kiev to an estimated worldwide audience

0:11:320:11:36

of 200 million viewers.

0:11:360:11:38

In the end, Lucy Jones, the UK entry, came a respectable 15th,

0:11:380:11:42

while Portugal lifted the trophy with this ballad.

0:11:420:11:45

HE SINGS IN PORTUGUSE

0:11:470:11:50

Well, the results of the viewer's jury are in.

0:11:550:11:58

But several of you awarded Graham Norton nil pointe for his commentary.

0:12:170:12:21

And not everyone felt Portugal's entry was a worthy winner.

0:12:390:12:42

That's it for this week but if you see something you love or

0:12:570:13:00
