Reading that one of your Victorian ancestors was classified as a lunatic who should be confined in an asylum is clearly very distressing, but at the turn of the last century it was a common diagnosis. People with late-stage syphilis, senile dementia or postnatal depression were often locked away, and although the Victorians believed in “moral treatment” for them – a disciplined stress-free daily routine – there was still a stigma attached to being in an asylum so the family members left outside often struggled to survive. Ray Winstone, Claire Sweeney and Al Murray run the gamut of emotions when they discover how their relatives fared when they were categorised as lunatics.

In a brand new, two-part series, entertainer Len Goodman, comedian Johnny Vegas, actress Michelle Collins, broadcaster Mariella Frostrup and reporter Daisy Mcandrew, discover the crimes their ancestors committed dating back to the Victorian Era and the punishments they received. The Victorians built many of the prisons that are still in use today such as Wormwood Scrubs, Strangeways and Pentonville but life inside them was very different. Back then prisoners were subject to hard labour and isolation and the alternative was the death penalty or transportation. Through exploring the story of each of the star’s ancestors, Secrets From The Clink gives an insight into the Victorian penal system and what day-to-day life was like for convicts.

Bettany Hughes and Ben Robinson offer viewers an aerial view of some of Britain's best-loved historical landmarks. They are hoping that the footage captured during each programme will reveal secrets hidden at ground level that will help solve mysteries about our heritage.

The dynamic duo of Keith Emerson and Greg Lake (two-thirds of Emerson, Lake and Palmer) went on tour in 2010. Four years later, Live From Manticore Hall captures nine intimate versions of ELP tunes, a little King Crimson, and even a Q&A. The tour would serve as a precursor to Emerson, Lake and Palmer’s 2010 High Voltage reunion in London, speculated to be the final ELP reunion.

There are concessions that must be made on Keith Emerson and Greg Lake’s Live from Manticore Hall, starting with the absence of Carl Palmer - and then the occasional use of loops.
Too, the conversational aspect of the evening certainly works on its first listen, bringing us in with a confidential closeness. (Emerson, in an impish moment, recalls people asking questions about his pre-Emerson Lake and Palmer band: "The Nice what?") But once that context is understood, these lengthy segments quickly become extraneous detours away from what is often a adventurously re-imagined journey through some peak moments for both…
