Title: Tales from the National Parks
Episode: The Peak District
Description: The National Parks, designated 60 years ago as places for
everyone, are Britain’s most treasured landscapes, but
they are increasingly becoming battlefields. Filmmaker
Richard Macer spent a year amid conflicts in three different
parks on a journey to discover who they are really for. In
each park the stories are different, but there is something
that unites them all - fiercely divided communities who are
prepared to fight in order to preserve their right to enjoy
the countryside. A war is breaking out in the villages of
the Peak District, with walkers, horseriders and residents
angry at 4x4 drivers and trailbikers motoring up and down
the green lanes for pleasure. So a retired primary school
teacher launches a campaign to get the motorists banned from
a lane in Great Longstone. The campaign snowballs and more
villages decide they’ve had enough of the off-roaders on
their lanes. Will the Peak District Park Authority bow to
public pressure or will it side with the off-roaders?

Title: Young Apprentice

Description: Lord Sugar is on the hunt for a Young Apprentice, as the
business-based reality show returns. Chosen from thousands
of applicants, a group of candidates aged between 16 and 17
compete for a 25,000 pound fund that will be tailor-made to
kick-start a business career. The 11 remaining candidates
are challenged to design a new product for the lucrative
parent and baby market. After a quick lesson in the joys and
perils of bringing up babies, both teams are given just two
days to design a prototype of their ’must have’ product
for every mum and dad, before heading to three of the
country’s leading retail companies to pitch their ideas.
With Nick and Karren there to keep a watchful eye on
proceedings, it’s not long before the teenagers are
behaving like tiny terrors, and it’s tears before bedtime
when Lord Sugar tells one candidate: "You’re fired"
