23:00-00:00 brand new one-off-documentary.Super Small Animals.From a primate that's no bigger than a mouse to a chameleon that can fit on your fingertip, the natural world is full of fantastically small animals. Biologist Patrick Aryee explores the fascinating secrets behind these miniature marvels and shows that they're not the underdogs you might think they are.
Firstly, he reveals the huge benefits that being small can bring. There's the little lemur whose diminutive frame helps it to exploit a unique gap in the ecosystem, the tiny hummingbird that uses its size to outmanoeuvre the competition, and the world's smallest seahorse, which never has to leave home. He also explores why small animals are proportionally the strongest in the world and introduces a peanut-sized beetle that can pull over a thousand times its own weight.
Next he explores the challenges that animals face when they shrink in size and the ingenious ways they overcome them. We find out how the smallest armadillo in the world manages to control its temperature in the searing desert sun and how the world's smallest fish can survive in nothing more than a puddle.
Patrick meets a secretive hippo that lives in the dense jungle, as well as some of the world's smallest snakes that give birth to enormous babies. He also meets a scientist that studies how really tiny spiders have a surprising trick that enables them to travel 40 miles per day, using almost no energy.
Then there are the animals that refuse to be pigeonholed as small and manage to punch way above their weight. He puts some astonishing invertebrates to the test to see how they work together to become much bigger than the sum of their parts and meets a pint-sized predator that takes on some of the largest and most dangerous creatures on the planet, getting hands-on to discover how its build helps it to be brave.
Finally he uncovers the incredible lengths that deep sea anglerfish go to in order to be big and small at the same time, and he has an endearing encounter with a tiny carnivore that manages to be small in just one direction.*A Question of Sport returns with new series starts on next Thursday (16th,August,2018) at 12:00am-12:30am.
00:00-00:50 brand new one-off-documentary.My Big Gay Jewish Conversion.Is Israel really the best place in the world to be gay? And is Judaism the one mainstream religion that accepts homosexuality? Meet Simon, a gay Catholic man from the west of Ireland on a quest to find out.
Simon has never truly felt accepted by his own church, a problem that Matthew, his Jewish boyfriend from north London, has not had to face. Simon begins to wonder if the grass may be greener, and considers converting.
He starts with a trip to the local rabbi where they chat, among other things, about getting 'snipped', but Simon is itching to get to Judaism's homeland: Israel. He hops on a plane and first hits the streets of Tel Aviv, 'the gayest city on Earth', where he meets gay people from all walks of life, including gay soldiers in the IDF. Then he heads to Jerusalem, but the story here is very different. Extreme views towards homosexuality are rife and Simon encounters this in uncomfortably close proximity.
Then, it's crunch time. Faced with the facts, will Simon jump ship and become Jewish?
00:50-01:15 brand new series and last in series and series finale.2/2.I,m Coming Out.(Series 1).(Owen's Story).Documentary in which 19-year-old Owen films himself coming out as bisexual to his parents after struggling throughout his teenage years with his sexuality.
In school, Owen was confused about his sexuality and found he was attracted to both boys and girls, but as his friends started relationships, he avoided getting involved with anyone. Now he is at university he feels he can be himself, but he is tired of living a double life, and wants to be completely honest with his mum and dad but he knows he will have to go through the nerve-racking experience twice as his parents are no longer together.

18:00-22:30 Athletics:World Championships:London 2018,Day 6.Gabby Logan introduces day six of the World Championships in London, with Mo Farah beginning his quest for a third successive 5,000m title and the medals being decided in the women's 400m, men's 400m hurdles and women's shot put.
It is also the semi-finals of what looks to be a wide-open men's 200m event, while Britain's world indoor bronze medallist Lorraine Ugen attempts to secure safe passage to the women's long jump final.
Farah came into these championships seeking a fifth successive global 5,000m-10,000m double. Five days after his exploits in the 10,000m, the 34-year-old is expected to reach the 5,000m final without any alarm.
Reigning women's 400m champion Allyson Felix proved her form and fitness at this venue last month by setting the fastest time of 2018, making her the favourite to win a tenth world title. In the men's 400m hurdles, world leader Kyron McMaster is vying to win a first medal of any colour for the British Virgin Islands, with Olympic champion Kerron Clement among those he has to beat.
Michael Johnson leads the analysis, with Steve Cram, Andrew Cotter, Brendan Foster and Steve Backley among the commentators. And Ore Oduba is joined by special guests to look back on the day's highlights.

We find out how the smallest armadillo in the world manages to control its temperature in the searing desert sun and how the world's smallest fish can survive in nothing more than a puddle.
Patrick meets a secretive hippo that lives in the dense jungle, as well as some of the world's smallest snakes that give birth to enormous babies. He also meets a scientist that studies how really tiny spiders have a surprising trick that enables them to travel 40 miles per day, using almost no energy.
Then there are the animals that refuse to be pigeonholed as small and manage to punch way above their weight. He puts some astonishing invertebrates to the test to see how they work together to become much bigger than the sum of their parts and meets a pint-sized predator that takes on some of the largest and most dangerous creatures on the planet, getting hands-on to discover how its build helps it to be brave.
Finally he uncovers the incredible lengths that deep sea anglerfish go to in order to be big and small at the same time, and he has an endearing encounter with a tiny carnivore that manages to be small in just one direction.*A Question of Sport returns with new series starts on next Thursday (16th,August,2018) at 12:00am-12:30am.
00:40-01:30 brand new one-off-documentary.My Big Gay Jewish Conversion.Is Israel really the best place in the world to be gay? And is Judaism the one mainstream religion that accepts homosexuality? Meet Simon, a gay Catholic man from the west of Ireland on a quest to find out.
Simon has never truly felt accepted by his own church, a problem that Matthew, his Jewish boyfriend from north London, has not had to face. Simon begins to wonder if the grass may be greener, and considers converting.
He starts with a trip to the local rabbi where they chat, among other things, about getting 'snipped', but Simon is itching to get to Judaism's homeland: Israel. He hops on a plane and first hits the streets of Tel Aviv, 'the gayest city on Earth', where he meets gay people from all walks of life, including gay soldiers in the IDF. Then he heads to Jerusalem, but the story here is very different. Extreme views towards homosexuality are rife and Simon encounters this in uncomfortably close proximity.
Then, it's crunch time. Faced with the facts, will Simon jump ship and become Jewish?

18:00-22:30 Athletics:World Championships:London 2018,Day 6.Gabby Logan introduces day six of the World Championships in London, with Mo Farah beginning his quest for a third successive 5,000m title and the medals being decided in the women's 400m, men's 400m hurdles and women's shot put.
It is also the semi-finals of what looks to be a wide-open men's 200m event, while Britain's world indoor bronze medallist Lorraine Ugen attempts to secure safe passage to the women's long jump final.
Farah came into these championships seeking a fifth successive global 5,000m-10,000m double. Five days after his exploits in the 10,000m, the 34-year-old is expected to reach the 5,000m final without any alarm.
Reigning women's 400m champion Allyson Felix proved her form and fitness at this venue last month by setting the fastest time of 2018, making her the favourite to win a tenth world title. In the men's 400m hurdles, world leader Kyron McMaster is vying to win a first medal of any colour for the British Virgin Islands, with Olympic champion Kerron Clement among those he has to beat.
Michael Johnson leads the analysis, with Steve Cram, Andrew Cotter, Brendan Foster and Steve Backley among the commentators. And Ore Oduba is joined by special guests to look back on the day's highlights.
