Justice for Larnell?

The tragic death of Larnell Bruce

sent shock waves through Portland,

Oregon, in 2016 when CCTV footage

of his murder went viral. Larnell, 19,

was run over by Russell Courtier, a

white supremacist. Here, journalist

Mobeen Azhar investigates the case.

The reformer prince

It’s well known that Queen Victoria’s

German husband, Albert, introduced

Christmas trees to the UK, yet his

contribution was far greater than

that. In this one-off documentary,

Professor Saul David gains access

to Albert’s private papers and shows

how Victoria’s spouse influenced

British politics and culture before

his untimely death in 1861, aged 42.

The budget boom!

Since opening its first UK store in

1990, German supermarket Aldi

has gone from strength to strength.

This documentary discovers the

secrets of the chain’s success.

A garden for a gardener!

Alan Titchmarsh is near Nottingham

this week to surprise landscape

gardener Daniel Bradbury, 32, one

of the youngest people in the UK

to be diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.

Since Daniel is unable to work on

his own garden, the crew create a

beautiful space for his young family.

The only way to travel!

If you’re superrich, you can step

aboard South Africa’s famous Blue

Train, a five-star hotel on tracks!

Guests pay upwards of £2,600 for

the 40-hour journey from Pretoria

to Cape Town, with 24-hour butler

service, bespoke linen and their

own private bath. Famous guests

have included Nelson Mandela,

Sir Elton John and Kylie Minogue.

Super savings!

Everyone loves a bargain! In this

special episode of Supershoppers,

Sabrina Grant and Kate Quilton look

at how you can save hundreds on

petrol and investigate a way to make

buying children’s clothes cheaper.

Darren Ryemill runs a successful

recruitment agency that employs

250 staff across the globe and has

an £80m turnover. The son of

a cleaner and a handyman, Darren

worked hard to become the success

he is today and, in this last episode

in the series of The Secret Teacher,

he heads to the all-boys Forest

School in Wokingham, Berkshire,

where he goes undercover as a

support worker. Hoping to meet

young people that he may be able to

help, Darren focuses on the students

taking part in the school’s ‘Return

to Learn’ programme, where boys

are sent as an alternative to being

excluded. There, Darren meets

15-year-old Levi, who spends much

of his time out of lessons. But it turns

out that there’s much more to Levi’s

behaviour than meets the eye... Can

Darren help him to stay on track?
