The staff at Barnsley A&E are as busy as ever as they treat
patients young and old. Barry, 74, is rushed in struggling
to breathe, and with his throat and tongue swelling fast,
Dr Nick Mani is concerned he might need to put him in a
medically-induced coma. In the paediatrics department,
10-week-old baby Harry is rushed in with suspected
sepsis, and eight-year-old Neivh needs treatment after
a fall from a bunk bed. HHHJL

● COOKERY / 8pm / BBC2
NEW
Who better to
show you round
the world’s best
dining hotspots than a chef ?!
This entertaining culinary
travelogue sees four cooking
maestros join First Dates’
maître d’ Fred Sirieix to share
the secrets of the countries and
food that they love. First up,
Fred heads to Venice with chef
Angela Hartnett and visits a
tiny, tucked-away restaurant
where the food is so fresh that
the menu is finalised just
minutes before opening. Along
with ice cream, cake and
pricey-but-sublime coffee in
St Mark’s Square, there’s also a
stop at a family-run trattoria in
Burano where the risotto is
unrivalled. You’ll be booking
your flight to Italy before the
credits roll! HHHHCC
