The 161st Boat Race
Clare Balding introduces live coverage from the banks of the River Thames on a historic day. The boat race just became the boat races, as the women's competition takes equal billing with the men's - same course, same day, same drama. This will be the 161st race between the men of Oxford and Cambridge Universities and the 70th meeting between the women. It is, however, the first time the women's race has been competed for along the iconic 4.2-mile championship course between Putney and Mortlake in south-west London.
Cambridge have a narrow lead in the all-time standings, but in recent years the dark blues of Oxford have proved formidable opponents - winning 10 of the last 15 men's races and six of the last seven women's contests. But who will win this year? Who will indelibly write their name into the history books of this most traditional yet unpredictable of sporting occasions?
Clare Balding is joined by guests including Sir Matthew Pinsent and Anna Watkins.

The Ministry of Time
The Ministry of Time, a newly established government department, is gathering ‘expats' from across history in an experiment to test the viability of time-travel. Commander Graham Gore (an officer on Sir John Franklin's doomed 1845 Arctic expedition) is one such figure rescued from certain death – alongside an army captain from the fields of the Somme, a plague victim from the 1600s, a widow from revolutionary France, and a soldier from the seventeenth century.
The expats are placed with 21st century liaisons, known as 'bridges', in unlikely flatshares. Gore has to learn about contemporary life from scratch: from air travel to industrial warfare, from feminism to Spotify, from cinema to indoor plumbing; and he must negotiate cohabiting with the ambitious modern woman who works as his bridge. After an awkward beginning, the pair start to find pleasure and comfort in each other's company, developing a relationship that is simultaneously tender, intense and profoundly unprofessional; and the expats, adrift in a new era, form friendships that ground and support them in the lonely 21st century, where they have outlived everyone they ever knew and loved.
When a deeper conspiracy at the Ministry begins to reveal itself, the bridge must reckon with what she does next. Will she save or sacrifice the exiled misfits she has come to care for so deeply?
