Harry's long-distance love affair with Hungarian human rights lawyer Anna Sandor comes to a shocking end when she calls him to Budapest to perform a second post-mortem on the body of a drowned prostitute, Sofi Mustafova, in the latest double episode of the forensic crime drama.

As Anna and Harry get reacquainted, she tells him she believes the death is suspicious and may be linked to her own investigations into the disappearance of other pregnant prostitutes.

Arriving at the hospital mortuary, pathologist Dr Kertesz informs them that the body has already been cremated. He hands Harry the report, which does not appear suspicious. At Anna's office, she shows Harry another medical report on Sofi, this time one that her pimps ordered. Harry is surprised; it is an unusually comprehensive report – what were her employers trying to assess?

After a meeting with Anna's father, Istvan, Harry's world is turned upside down when he discovers Anna stabbed to death in her bed. Having been in Anna's apartment at the time of the killing, Harry is forced to retreat underground where he manages to make a desperate call to Leo in London, who flies out to help, but local police investigator Tibor Orban believes Harry is a murderer on the run.

Meanwhile, Harry continues his investigation into the gang-run prostitution racket. Why are these women being given expensive medical reports? He sets up a covert meeting with Leo, but when Leo arrives late, he sees a man being shot and burned. He retrieves a charred passport from the body – Harry's...

Dr Harry Cunningham is played by Tom Ward, Anna Sandor by Lili Bordan, Istvan Sandor by Julian Glover, Professor Leo Dalton by William Gaminara and Tibor Orban by Ivan Kamaras. Bloodlines is written by Jim Keeble and Dudi Appleton.

Lorraine Pascale gives some retro recipes a modern makeover

Lorraine Pascale shares her 21st-century take on some retro recipes as she divulges secrets, shortcuts and professional know-how to make some Modern Classics.

Starting at the Pick Your Own to gather strawberries, Lorraine wants to pay homage to teatime with her nan and give a make-over to an old favourite. Strawberry and mascarpone Swiss roll is her jazzed-up version of the original and it's more delicious than ever before.

Writer, businesswoman and chef Lorraine reveals her tips for food presentation and makes an easy recipe for a true modern classic – focaccia. "Food presentation is so important because if it looks good on the plate then people will automatically think it's going to taste good," says Lorraine.

Next, she takes a trip down memory lane visiting the supermarket where she worked as a teenager. It inspires a real comfort classic – glam mac and cheese is the perfect combination of oven comfort and pure indulgence. It's fabulous to eat alone and stylish enough to serve at a dinner party. Macaroni cheese will never be the same again.

Finally, an old baking nemesis gets the Lorraine treatment with a foolproof recipe for perfect meringue. Spiced blackberry, pear and apple pavlova is Lorraine's modern take on an all-time favourite dessert.

Sir Paul Nurse, the new President of the Royal Society, a Nobel Prize winner and one of Britain's leading scientists, examines why science is under attack and asks whether scientists are partly to blame, as BBC Two's flagship science strand continues.

Although scientists have always had to argue their case, Sir Paul believes that science is now fighting a new kind of battle: one of public trust.

He sets out to discover why trust in science is being eroded, and asks why some scientists feel not just under scrutiny, but under attack.

Key scientific ideas – such as climate change, MMR vaccinations and genetically modified foods – now polarise public opinion; it's clear that scientific opinion and consensus isn't always supported by the public. Sir Paul sets out to investigate how this gap between scientists and the public has developed, meeting leading investigators and well-known critics of some of the world's most contentious scientific theories.

He begins with climate change, setting out to discover why this key environmental issue has become the subject of such heated debate.

Despite the vast quantities of evidence gathered by scientists that support the idea of man-made climate change, many people still question the validity of climate change, or believe it to be exaggerated. Sir Paul asks why.

He considers the effect of "climategate", the leak of emails from the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia that were seized on by some as evidence of a scientific scandal.

He meets Professor Phil Jones, the director of the CRU and the scientist behind some of the most controversial emails, and James Delingpole, an online journalist with the Daily Telegraph who wrote that what happened at the CRU was "the greatest scientific scandal in the history of the world".

Next, Sir Paul meets Tony, an American HIV sufferer who doesn't believe that Aids is caused by the HIV virus and who treats himself with yogurts and his own nutritional programme, instead of medically prescribed anti-retroviral treatments.

Finally, Sir Paul defends the importance of scientific evidence and outlines what he believes scientists must do to make their voices heard in the complex communications landscape of the 21st century.

Laura Hall

In April 2010, Laura Hall from Bromsgrove hit the headlines when she was barred from buying or drinking alcohol anywhere in England and Wales. After more than 40 arrests, 29 convictions, tagging and two custodial sentences failed to curb her behaviour, Laura was given the first-ever National Drinking Banning Order.

Laura has no qualifications after being expelled from school at 15. She regularly consumes 150 units of alcohol a week. At the age of 21, she finally tries to turn her back on six years of binge drinking and kick her alcohol habit for good.

Looking beyond the headlines, this observational documentary follows Laura and witnesses how her addiction impacts on her everyday life. It follows her into rehab and shows her determination to change.

Throughout the six months that the cameras follow Laura, viewers witness her highs and lows in an attempt to get herself back on track.

The Dangerous Pleasures Season follows young people's pursuit of pleasure in a world of increasing temptation and excess. BBC Three's range of documentaries from the perspective of young people examine both the pleasures and the dangers of sex, drugs and drink.

There's a plane over London with a bomb on it. You have a suspect in custody, but he is refusing to speak. Can you torture him if you genuinely believe it will save hundreds of lives?

This hypothetical scenario is one of the moral dilemmas posed by Harvard professor Michael Sandel in this documentary. Filmed in Boston, Berlin, London and Athens, this extraordinary philosophical travelogue combines the biographies of three leading thinkers from the Enlightenment and the Ancient World with a thought-provoking examination of modern ideas of social justice and citizenship.

In Germany, Sandel goes in search of Immanuel Kant, the Enlightenment thinker who has been called the "father of human rights". According to Kant's Absolutist philosophy, torture is never permissible and it could never be legitimate to kill one person, even to save a hundred. In January 2005, in the wake of 9/11, the German government introduced a law that would permit its air force to shoot down any hijacked planes that posed a threat to the public. Sandel asks whether it can ever be morally right for the state to kill a hundred passengers, even if that means saving thousands of equally "innocent" bystanders.

For British philosopher Jeremy Bentham, morality was ultimately about numbers, and in certain circumstances it could be acceptable to compromise on individual rights for the sake of the masses. After a memorable encounter with Bentham's pickled corpse, Sandel discusses the implications of his Utilitarian philosophy for the modern world. If the vast majority of Europeans disapprove of the burka, he asks, does this mean that it should be banned?

For Aristotle, the Ancient Greek philosopher, justice was neither about numbers nor about absolute rules – it was about giving people what they deserve. In Athens, Sandel visits the Agora and the Parthenon, and compares Aristotle's intensely participatory vision of democratic life with the reality of modern Greece, a society at the front line of the global economic crisis. Is participating in a demonstration an act of good citizenship? he asks. And do Aristotle's ideas about social justice and political engagement have anything to say to David Cameron's vision of "the big society"?

This thought-provoking film includes interviews with contemporary philosophers, politicians, Big Issue vendors and thinkers from all around the globe.

Justice – A Citizen's Guide To The 21st Century is part of Justice – A Citizen's Guide, a new season of programmes on BBC Four. Throughout 2011 BBC Four is hosting a wide-ranging debate on the state of justice in Britain and the world today. Highlights from the season include: Justice – Fairness And The Big Society; Scenes From A Teenage Killing; Outside A Courtoom; The Story Of Rough Justice; and a range of international films in the Storyville strand, including a documentary marking the 50th anniversary of Amnesty International. The season is produced in partnership with the Open University.
