6/8. Is it last orders for the public house, once a cornerstone of British cultural life? Lauren Laverne looks at the past, present and future of the drinking establishment. Sting performs songs from his new album at the Cumberland Arms, one of the oldest inns in Newcastle, and Carol Ann Duffy reads a poem she has written to celebrate the pub. Elsewhere there's an interview with musician John Cale, a debate on films with an end-of-the-world theme, and Martha Wainwright joins Lauren to sing a track from her new album.

5/8; series three. The heat is on in more ways than one for the four remaining couples. As temperatures soar in Bristol, they must sweat it out serving afternoon tea to over a hundred guests. To be a success they have to up their game in presentation, display their baking skills and compete directly against each other. For evening service the couples take bookings from VIP guests, each wanting a three-course meal topped off with a celebratory cake.

Bringing Up Baby. An investigation into the vital bond between animal mothers and their babies.
There are many ways to raise a brood, from the fish that looks after her young in her mouth to the extended childhoods of orangutans. At the heart of the story is emotion. Elephants and monkeys might be expected to show "love" and "grief", but what about penguins or lions? As scientists intensify their studies, it becomes increasingly clear just how emotional animals are. David Attenborough narrates. Producer Mark Rietcher; Series editor Tim Martin RT'S ANIMAL COVER STARS: radiotimes.com/animal-covers

6/8. Virgin Swimmers. Nine adults are brought together to learn how to swim. Instructor Linda has seen it all before. She knows that most of the women will be petrified of getting their hair and faces wet, the men will be embarrassed by their lack of prowess, and all of them will probably have to conquer demons that run much deeper than a fear of water. After six weeks Linda will lead her proteges to the ultimate test in the big pool. Will it be sink or swim? Director/Producer Lorraine Charker-Phillips
