Tourette’s To the outside world, it can appear something of a joke, but Tourette’s is no laughing matter for those living with the syndrome. Sufferers’ lives are forever marred by the constant, uncontrollable urge to shout, swear and tic inappropriately. In this remarkable story, we meet Jess, who finds it impossible to control the urge to say the word ‘biscuit’. She says it hundreds, if not thousands of times every single day, often while punching herself in the chest. Jess invites Sunday Night into her life to experience what it’s like to live with Tourette’s. It is heartbreaking television. Rahni Sadler also meets an amazing young jazz singer who swears and tics uncontrollably off stage, but transforms into a composed and talented songstress on stage. This story will forever change the way you think about Tourette’s. Dirty Rotten hero? Lance Armstrong was a cycling god, winning seven Tour de France titles and earning a place as one of the greatest sportsmen in history. For years, Armstrong denied his remarkable achievements were assisted by performance enhancing drugs. In fact, three years ago on Sunday Night, he categorically denied ever taking drugs. But this Sunday, in an interview with Alex Cullen, his former friend and teammate Tyler Hamilton breaks ranks and calls Armstrong a cheat. Hamilton is breaking the sport’s code of silence and detailing what he claims is the shocking truth about the drug cover-up that reaches all the way to the top. Hamilton claims to have taken part in systematic drug taking with Armstrong. Who is telling the truth? You be the judge. David Frost Renowned for his take-no-prisoners interview style, David Frost has gone toe-to-toe with seven US Presidents, seven British and five Australian Prime Ministers. Celebrities, sporting legends and the world’s richest and most powerful leaders have all squirmed when faced with his probing questions. Now, the tables are turned as he sits down with Sunday Night’s PJ Madam to reflect on his 50-year career as one of the great interviewers. Find out how his career-making interview with disgraced US President Richard Nixon scoop hinged on a bet with friend Kerry Packer.

American Pickers

This isn't your grandmother's antiquing. The American Pickers are on a mission to recycle America, even if it means diving into countless piles of grimy junk or getting chased off a gun-wielding homeowner's land. Hitting back roads from coast to coast, the Pickers earn a living by restoring forgotten relics to their former glory, transforming one person's trash into another's treasure. The show follows the team as they scour the country for hidden gems in junkyards, basements, garages and barns, meeting quirky characters and hearing their amazing stories. If you think the antique business is all about upscale boutiques and buttoned-up dealers, this show may change your mind – and teach you a thing or two about American history along the way.

McDonald & Dodds is set in Bath and follows the wildly ambitious DCI McDonald, who is partnered with the shy, modest DS Dodds. While McDonald has transferred from the mean streets of South London to leap up the career ladder, Dodds has happily languished on the shelf for most of his working life.

McDonald is a tough, driven, battering ram of a cop who cracks cases through sheer force of will; Dodds – the tortoise to her hare – is quiet, unassuming and enigmatic. But thrust back into frontline action for the first time in a decade, he discovers a hidden talent for deciphering puzzles. Two contemporary Britons, seemingly with nothing in common, thrown together, boss McDonald and loyal sidekick Dodds forge a rumbustious, entertaining and ultimately – give or take a few setbacks – effective partnership.
