21:00-22:00 brand new three-part-documentary.2/3.The Ganges with Sue Perkins.(Series 1).(Episode 2).Sue Perkins goes on an extraordinary journey, spanning over 1,500 miles, from the source of the Ganges high in the Himalayas to the Bay of Bengal. She travels through some of the most extraordinary, chaotic and exciting places on earth, exploring the lives and landscapes of modern India at this crucial point in its history.
In this second episode, Sue is halfway down the Ganges in the ancient city of Varanasi, a place which, for India's 950 million Hindus, has a unique significance. Sue immerses herself into the complex life of Varanasi, where the power of the Ganges is at its greatest and where life and death exist side by side. But she also discovers that it is here that the river faces its biggest challenges.
In this intricate human habitat, Sue explores the lives of its people and sets out to understand more about the city's place in Hindu death rituals. She visits Varanasi's so-called death hotels, walks the lanes of the old city, encountering dead bodies being rushed past on their way to the cremation grounds, and on the steps of Varanasi's bathing ghats meets an Aghori monk going about his daily business - cleansing his soul in the Ganges river and rubbing the ashes of dead bodies over himself.
Sue quickly discovers the contradictions that lie at the city's heart. On the one hand, it is seen by millions as the spiritual centre of India, yet on the other, it contains some of the most polluted stretches of river in the entire world. But for many devout Hindus, the physical condition of the water is separate from the spiritual power it holds. Sue meets Professor Mishra, who is uniquely qualified to help her understand the paradox that lies at the heart of the great river.
Sue makes her final stop at the Manikarnika Ghat, Varanasi's most prestigious funeral pyre, where bodies are burned on open fires so their souls can be released into a different realm.*The Ganges with Sue Perkins Series 1 Episode 3 of 3 last in series and series finale airs on next Thursday (1st,November,2018) at 9:00pm-10:00pm.

23:00-00:00 brand new three-part-documentary.2/3.The Country Council.(Series 1).(Episode 2).Councils across Scotland are in the midst of challenging budget cuts, and with higher demand than ever for public services, the pressure on local authorities has never been greater. From education to housing, repairing the roads and emptying our bins, this series will focus on the council services that illustrate the universal social issues and budget challenges that councils face every day across Scotland.
With access to Argyll and Bute Council, where half of the population is concentrated in six towns and the rest scattered amongst rural communities and twenty three islands, we follow council staff on the front line as they deliver services to some of the UK's most remote areas. Filmed across some of Scotland's most breathtaking landscapes, we uncover the unsung heroes who travel hundreds of miles daily to bring care to their clients, island staff who work not one but sometimes six different council jobs and the amazing frontline workers supporting families in crisis. This series brings the unique challenges and joys of working hundreds of miles from the nearest city to provide those services in difficult times.
In the second episode in the series of three, we follow council staff the length and breadth of the region, from Oban to Rothesay, Dunoon to Jura. We look at the demanding work of the health visitors on the front line who are dealing with a rise in autism diagnosis, the tough decisions being made in the face of an ever-increasing ageing population, and we see the what it is like to be one of those council workers everyone loves to hate - parking warden.*The Country Council Series 1 Episode 3 of 3 last in series and series finale airs on next Thursday (1st,November,2018) at 11:00pm-11:50pm.
