THE ADULT SEASON
Pregnancy – My Big Decision Ep 1/5

New series
Thursday 16 July
9.00-10.00pm Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ THREE

Five pairs of teenage girls facing similar and potentially life-changing decisions are followed as The Adult Season opens with the documentary series My Big Decision.

The first episode follows two teenage girls who are determined to have a baby.

Separated by age, culture and geography, but sharing the same all-consuming desire, the girls go on a very personal journey of self discovery – but they're taking their mums and grans with them.

Taking a break from everyday life, the six women embark on a five-day road trip across the UK, immersing themselves in the subject matter. Offering help and support throughout the experience, it's the last chance the older women have to persuade the teenagers to really think about making the right choice.

Sixteen-year-old Chantelle lost her virginity at 13. Having been with her boyfriend for a year and a half, she is desperate for a child. Her mum, Mandy, and 81-year-old gran, Maggie, are very much against the idea. Why does Chantelle so desperately want a child?

Headstrong only child Lydia is convinced that she's independent enough to raise a child, even though she's only 14 years old and doesn't have a boyfriend. Mum, Josephine, and family friend Lynn cannot understand why she wants to throw her teenage years away.

Along the way, the families are introduced to people and situations that are designed to get them talking openly and honestly and to help inform their decision.

Both girls spend the day exploring how their futures could pan out in a career day. Chantelle, who wants to be a hairdresser, spends the day assisting a top stylist on a fashion shoot, while Lydia, who loves to cook, spends the afternoon in the kitchen of a posh restaurant.

Both families spend the day with a teen mum; visit a maternity ward; and talk openly and honestly about themselves and their relationships with each other with a psychotherapist. Then the teens are given computerised "babies" which they must look after for 24 hours.

Finally, after five days on the road, has their shared experiences had any effect on the girls' decisions?

My Big Decision is part of Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Three's Adult Season, on TV and online.

GREY EXPECTATIONS
The Grandparent Diaries Ep 2/3

Thursday 16 July
9.00-10.00pm Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ FOUR

The season of programmes dedicated to understanding life's twilight years continues on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Four, with the second programme in the Grandparent Diaries, which examines the relationship between grandparents and their grandchildren.

The second film introduces the Little family. Molly Little is a typical 15-year-old girl. Constantly pushing boundaries, like all teenage girls, there are daily battles at home, as she pushes for later curfews, shorter hem lines and more phone credit.

However, while Molly is, in many ways, an archetypal teenager, her living situation is unusual. Both Molly and her 10-year-old brother, Mitch, have been brought up by their 68-year-old grandparents, Val and Ron Little, following the death of their mother, Tammy, in 2000.

The desire to maintain absolute normality for the children has been paramount for the Littles since Tammy died. Living with the generation gap is not easy for any of them, on top of the private struggles they have to cope with following the loss of a mother and a daughter. But clinging to the normal routine of everyday life has helped.

Through family archive, observation, interview and the children's video diary, the film builds up a moving and intimate picture of the Little family, past and present.

Through the voices of Molly, Mitch, Ron and Val, the film explores how far the love of these two doting – and grieving – grandparents has gone to repair a family coping with a tragic loss.

Steve Backshall comes face to face with a sloth bear
Steve Backshall comes face to face with a sloth bear

The latest leg of Steve Backshall's natural history odyssey takes him to Asia and, hot on this week's hit list, are examples of a lethal snake, a mammal and an insect to add to his Deadly 60 list.

It is estimated that between 20,000 to 50,000 people die in India each year from snake bites and the king cobra and saw-scaled viper are among the main culprits. Neither animal kills humans in order to eat them but are simply defending their territory in a heavily populated country. Steve has to decide which lethal critter should go on his list.

Although the next candidate may look cute, it certainly is not cuddly. Sloth bears' powerful jaws and huge claws, coupled with a highly unpredictable nature make them mean killing machines that kill more people in India than tigers. Steve and his cameraman pluck up the courage to enter the enclosure with some rescued bears at a sanctuary.

Finally, Steve is on the trail of a lethal insect that has had a martial art form named after it. He joins a class for some praying mantis kung fu to see why the lightning-fast insects have such deadly fighting skills. There are more than 800 different species of mantis, each one a master of camouflage, and Steve has to look really hard to seek out some of the multitude of varieties from the insect world's equivalent to the great white shark.
