Mrs Brown's Boys – Mammy's Merchandise Ep 3/6

Monday 7 March

10.35-11.05pm BBC ONE and BBC ONE HD

Agnes (Brendan O'Carroll) interferes with Dermot's wedding plans

With Dermot and Maria's wedding just weeks away, the Brown household is in crisis, as the comedy written by and starring Brendan O'Carroll continues. Agnes Brown's son Dermot wants to ask his childhood friend, Buster, to be best man. But Agnes has set her heart on Mark, her eldest son, filling the position. And Buster is a crook of whom both the strong-willed Maria and Mrs Brown strongly disapprove.

On top of this, Mrs Brown's close friend and neighbour, Winnie, is distraught. Her husband Jacko has been rushed to hospital and can't possibly afford to pay for the operation he urgently needs. And, needing cash for his wedding, Dermot has allowed himself to get embroiled in one of Buster's stupid – and dodgy – money-making scams.

It's time for Mrs Brown to exercise all her diplomatic skills, starting with "accidentally" letting Maria know all about Dermot's best man decision...

Dermot Brown is played by Paddy Houlihan, Maria by Fiona O'Carroll, Agnes Brown by Brendan O'Carroll, Buster by Danny O'Carroll, Mark Brown by Pat Shields and Winnie by Eilish O'Carroll.

Mrs Brown's Boys is simulcast in HD on BBC One HD on Freesat channel 108, Freeview channel 50, Sky channel 143 and Virgin Media channel 108.

Royal Upstairs Downstairs – Chatsworth House Ep 1/20

Tim Wonnacott and Rosemary Shrager follow in the footsteps of Queen Victoria

Just what goes on behind the scenes in a stately home when a monarch pays a visit? In this new series, antiques expert Tim Wonnacott and food connoisseur Rosemary Shrager revisit a number of the castles, palaces and stately homes that Queen Victoria visited throughout her lifetime, looking into the flurry of activity that surrounded each visit.

Tim is "upstairs", exploring the décor of the building and the lords, ladies and dignitaries that would have hosted the visit, as well as recounting extracts from Queen Victoria's own diaries. Meanwhile, "downstairs", Rosemary tells the story of the household staff and, alongside food historian and chef Ivan Day, each day recreates one of the ornate dishes that would have been served to the invited monarch.

They start their journey at Chatsworth House, deep in the Derbyshire countryside. The future Queen visited Chatsworth in October of 1832 when she was just 13 years old, with her mother, the Duchess of Kent – a year after the young princess found out she was to inherit the Crown. The four-day visit was hosted by the sixth Duke of Devonshire and was a PR exercise by Princess Victoria's mother to introduce her to her future subjects.

Rosemary and Ivan prepare an ice cream dessert that would have been served at a Royal banquet, using an original pewter ice cream mould in the shape of a pineapple – a fruit grown in the grounds of Chatsworth.

DJ Loose encourages youngsters to dance

Younger viewers are encouraged to boogie, bhangra and bounce in the all new ZingZillas ZingBop!

The jungle's coolest sloth, DJ Loose, bops on to CBeebies' screens to encourage children at home to boogie on down with the ZingZillas in a new show all about music and movement.

So young viewers should get off the sofa, clear a space on the floor and prepare to get grooving.

In each five-minute episode, DJ Loose invites a group of six children to ZingZilla Island, where they learn to dance to one of the show's star-studded songs and appear in the ZingBop – a dance version of the Big Zing.

Having arrived on the island, the children are greeted by DJ Loose. Once they're warmed up and ready to dance, he invites them to press the big red button which conjures up a Zak, Tang, Pansy or Drum to demonstrate a new dance step. Once the children have had a go, they are invited to ZingBop along with the ZingZillas.

Using some of the greatest musical numbers from the series, Monday's ZingBoppers learn about Superheroes Doing Super Things; on Tuesday they join The Great ZingZilla Band; on Wednesday everyone is Dreamin' About Bananas; on Thursday the big question is Do You Digeridoo?; and the week ends with a big ol' ZingBop Ding Dong.
