CLASS

Saturday, October 22 BBC Three, from 10am bbc.co.uk/class #class

Class: For Tonight We Might Die

It's a new term at Coal Hill Academy, and students are preparing for their Autumn Prom. But when the school comes under attack from the monstrous Shadow Kin, four alienated students must form an unlikely alliance to defeat them.

Charlie, April, Ram and Tanya, assisted by their physics teacher Miss Quill, are now charged with a great responsibility by the mysterious alien known as 'The Doctor': to guard against the creatures of nightmare, who want nothing more than to find a way through to Earth and take it for their own.

And this incursion is only the beginning…

Class: The Coach With The Dragon Tattoo

Following the tragic events at the Prom, a devastated Ram isolates himself from the other three as he struggles with his new reality. Desperate to hold himself together on the football pitch, when he thinks he witnesses someone getting skinned alive he's convinced he's cracking up.

But when Tanya, Charlie and April are all confronted with the same thing: a horrific, monstrous, skin-peeling dragon, they know that they're under attack. The gang must pull together to fight against the monster, and try to keep Coal Hill safe.

CASUALTY

Saturday, October 22 BBC One Wales, 9.10pm bbc.co.uk/casualty #Casualty

Robyn arrives at work in a state - she still hasn’t found Glen. As she realises that Glen doesn’t want to be found, she asks Dylan to help her get an appointment for termination.

David finds Robyn in agony in the toilet and thinks she’s having a miscarriage. Dylan and David check the baby for a heartbeat; it’s tense and doesn’t look good. David realises the volume is down on the Doppler as Robyn hears the heartbeat. Will this change her feelings about a termination?

Elle offers Ethan two tickets to a hospital awards night. Caleb wants to take them off his hands as he’s keen to take Alicia, but Ethan didn’t think he was interested in her and refuses to give him both. Instead he plucks up the courage to ask Alicia to the awards himself... but will she accept?

ABERFAN: A CONCERT TO REMEMBER

Saturday, October 22 BBC Two Wales, 9pm

Tim Rhys-Evans presents highlights of the Aberfan memorial concert staged at the Wales Millennium Centre, featuring Bryn Terfel, Catrin Finch, David Childs and Elin Manahan Thomas.

The performance reflects on the courage of the survivors and the bereaved, and the spirit with which the community has faced the future.

Aberfan: A Concert to Remember includes the world première of Cantata Memoria For The Children, composed and conducted by Karl Jenkins with libretto by Welsh poet Mererid Hopwood. It’s performed by Sinfonia Cymru and the soloists are joined by a mixed choir of over 150 along with a children’s choir of 116.

● Aberfan: A Concert to Remember is part of a series of commemorative programmes by BBC Wales, marking 50 years since the Aberfan disaster, which touched people around the world. On 21 October 1966, an avalanche of coal waste crashed into a school and the nearby houses in Aberfan, killing 144 people including 116 children.

TIMESHIFT: SHIPS, SAILORS & STEVEDORES: THE STORY OF BRITISH DOCKS

Wednesday, October 26 BBC Four, 9pm (repeated at 3am and on Saturday, October 29 at 7pm)

Throughout the 20th century, Britain’s docks were the pulse of the nation: bustling, exciting, but often dangerous places where exotic goods, people and influences from across the globe ebbed and flowed and connected our island nation with the wider world.

With first-hand accounts and archive footage, Timeshift: Ships, Sailors & Stevedores: The Story of British Docks gives a rare glimpse into the vanished world of Britain’s docksides.

Multicultural communities, such as the ’sailortown’ of Tiger Bay in Cardiff, often clustered near our docksides, changing the character, tastes and attitudes of those who lived there. The docks channelled new forms of music, fashion and dance styles into Britain - and sparked a creative cultural revolution across the nation. Calypso, Jazz, Blues and Rock ‘n’ Roll arrived via our docks in the form of musicians and, crucially, records in the hands of seafarers travelling across the Atlantic and arriving back in Britain.

Since the 1980s many docks have witnessed a dramatic renaissance - attractions like the Tate Liverpool gallery, maritime museums, the Wales Millennium Centre and even the National Assembly for Wales have all taken pride of place in former working docks.

ANGLESEY: ISLAND LIFE

Friday, October 28 BBC One Wales, 7.30pm

Wales’ biggest island has some of Britain’s most stunning scenery - but it’s also home to 70,000 people.

Anglesey: Island Life is the heart-warming story of life on Anglesey, told by some of those who live and work there today. The three-part series is an everyday story of hopes and dreams, adversity and triumph for the people of the island.

Among them is 21-year-old Khethiwe Ncube, who came to Anglesey from Zimbabwe at the age of six. The island is now very much her home and she’s set her heart on becoming “Miss Anglesey and Gwynedd” in the Miss Wales beauty pageant.

Kristoffer Hughes works in a mortuary on the mainland, but he’s also head of the Anglesey Druid Order and has ambitions to rekindle the island’s status as an ancient seat of learning.

Mike Williams has been running his family furniture business all his working life. But he’s got his work cut out to get it back on its feet after a fire damaged over £750,000 of stock.

With 130 miles of coastline, Anglesey people have traditionally had a close affinity with the sea, but now there are only two people left on the island to ferry pilots onto waiting tankers, and Rob Holloway is one of them.

Meanwhile, Paul Cox has found a novel way to commute 10 miles to work in Holyhead - he straps a propeller to his back, attaches a paraglider wing - and flies!

Caiff Anita sioc i ddarganfod bod Sam wedi bod yn cadw neidr yn ei chartref, yn enwedig ar ôl i’r neidr ddianc!

 With the wedding fast approaching, Iolo isn’t happy when he realises that he and Tyler are planning to celebrate their stag in the Deri on the same night, and is further enraged when he thinks Dai is belittling the marriage. Tyler begs him to wise up and start thinking more positively about their big day.

Gwyneth is not happy that Siôn is working as a plumber and she goes on to ruin his repairs at the Salon. Sheryl is furious, and Siôn is disappointed in himself believing that he doesn’t have what it takes to work as a plumber, but Iolo knows the truth.

Anita is shocked to find out that Sam has been keeping a snake in her home, especially after it escapes!
