Then there's dizzy school secretary (and former pupil) Janeece. In the classrooms, as well as Karen's troublesome kids there are two youngsters who until now have been home-schooled. Karen doesn't have just staffing problems in the first week of term, because her family are creating a heck of a stir.

22:00 Digging for Britain
Anglo Saxons
Documentary How much do you know about the Anglo-Saxons? Not much, I'll bet. The paucity of written records left by the Germanic warrior tribes, who moved into Britain when the Romans left, explains why their period was traditionally labelled the Dark Ages. Naturally, the archaeologists Alice Roberts meets for tonight's programme bridle at the term, and you can see why, given the gloriously crafted gold jewellery and artefacts the Anglo-Saxons left behind. We see plenty of the latter as Roberts visits digs and museums, and they offer a tantalising glimpse of a lost world, one riven by violence, given to feasting, and marked by truly awful dentistry. The artefacts are glorious - and Roberts offers enlightening context from the little history we do know. It makes you think: we had a Norman season recently - how about doing the Anglo-Saxons next?

23:00 Mountain Gorilla
Last Stand of the Silverback King
Nature I defy anyone to watch this touching documentary about the lives of mountain gorillas and not go all anthropomorphic. The beautiful, beefy, anxious-looking gorillas, obsessed with status and territory, are just crying out to be viewed as some kind of hairy morality tale. It doesn't help when narrator Patrick Stewart talks about dominant silverback Titus as "the ageing king" or explains that "it's only with respect from the group that a silverback can become a great leader". Is everyone getting the moral here? The main story involves Titus's estranged son (Titus has sired more offspring than any other known gorilla), who returns to challenge his father's dominance in the hope of claiming his throne. It's practically Shakespearean. Radio Times reviewer - David Butcher
