Virgin Money London Marathon 2009

Sue Barker hosts live coverage of one of the nation's biggest sporting events, the Flora London Marathon. The world's top long distance runners will be doing battle over 26.2 miles in the race, which is now in its 29th year. Reigning champion Martin Lel is defending his title and looking for a record fourth win. But the Kenyan faces stiff opposition from a top class field, which includes the gold, silver and bronze winners at last year's Beijing Olympics. With Paula Radcliffe ruled out with a broken toe, Britain's best hope lies with Mara Yamauchi, but also lining up in the women's event are defending champion Irina Mikitenko of Germany, Olympic gold medallist Constantina Dita of Romania and Kenyan world champion Catherine Ndereba.

Beyond the Gates

Beyond the Gates is set in a leafy Maryland suburb just outside of Washington D.C., and in one the most affluent African American counties in the United States. Here you'll find a posh gated community with winding tree-lined streets and luxurious mansions to call home. At the center of this community are the Duprees, a powerful and prestigious multi-generational family that is the very definition of Black royalty. But behind these pristine walls and lush, manicured gardens are juicy secrets and scandals waiting to be uncovered. And those that live outside these gates are watching closely. These are the places where our characters live, love, work and play. Those who have "made it" and those who haven't are all trying to navigate life … and some with more grace than others.
