4:05 - CHEF

Meet Britain's finest -- and most ill-tempered -- chef, Gareth Blackstock (Lenny Henry), of the prestigious Le Chateau Anglais restaurant. Each meal is a masterpiece. Just don't ask for salt. Chef Blackstock rules his kitchen with an iron ladle and puts up with no slacking. The trouble is that his underpaid and overworked kitchen staff is littered with slackers. Tuck in and prepare to double over in laughter with this hilarious and much loved comedy series from the BBC!

4:45 - LAST OF THE SUMMER WINE

A group of male pensioners, including Compo, Clegg and Foggy, are aging delinquents who carry out boyish pranks in a quiet Yorkshire village. Their japes revolve around daredevil stunts aimed at wooing their lady friends or getting male chums out of trouble.

5:25 - THE BRITTAS EMPIRE

Gordon Brittas is the manager of the Whitbury-Newtown Leisure Centre. Despite his ambition and good intentions, everything seems to go wrong when he's around, despite the best efforts of the leisure centre staff and his long-suffering wife, Helen.


8:05 - ARE YOU BEING SERVED

A long-running sitcom set in the very old-fashioned Grace Brothers department store, owned by octagenarian Young Mr. Grace (Harold Bennett). The programme deals with the working life of the staff of the Ladies' and Gent's Outfitting departments. Pompous Floorwalker, Captain Peacock (Frank Thornton), is in overall charge on the floor and Mr. Rumbold (Nicholas Smith) is the Manager.

6:45 - MY HERO

Thermoman, a super-hero from the planet Ultron, arrives on earth in the disguise of George Sunday. He tries his hardest to understand and follow Earth culture but his frequent misunderstandings often lead to sticky situations (as he must not reveal his identity).

7:25 - BLACKADDER GOES FORTH

The Western Front 1917: Captain Blackadder, joined the British Army when it was little more than a travel agency for gentlemen with an abnormally high sex drive. Now he's twenty yards from a lot of heavily armed people who want to kill him. Worse still, his brother officer is a man whose family brain cell is gathering dust in a pawn shop in Dunstable, and Baldrick is in charge of the cooking.

8:05 - VICAR OF DIBLEY

When the ancient vicar of Dibley dies suddenly, the parishioners are surprised to find that the Bishop has appointed a woman as their new vicar. Geraldine Grainger (Dawn French), the new vicar, is aided (sort of) by the verger, Alice Tinker (Emma Chambers) and opposed at practically every turn by David Horton (Gary Waldhorn).

8:45 - KEEPING UP APPEARANCES

Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced 'Bouquet') is a snob. Hyacinth (Patricia Routledge) devotes most of her energies to maintaining "standards" and trying to impress "influential" people. In the process, she frequently brings chaos into the lives of her friends, relatives, and neighbors. Her long-suffering husband, Richard (Clive Swift), keeps his head down and does his best to live with her domineering ways.

9:25 - AS TIME GOES BY

Lionel Hardcastle (Geoffrey Palmer) returns to England after many years as a coffee planter in Kenya. He's writing a book, "My Life In Kenya", and he needs help. He hires a temporary secretary from an agency run by widow Jean Pargeter (Judi Dench). When he discovers that Jean is the woman he was in love with until they lost touch during the Korean War, 38 years earlier, an old flame is rekindled.
