Rugby Union Wales v New Zealand
BBC 2. 17:10 - 19:30
John Inverdale is joined by studio guests Adam Jones and Jeremy Guscott for live coverage of Wales against New Zealand from the Millennium Stadium.
Wales have beaten World Cup winners New Zealand just three times in 28 previous attempts. It will be 59 years this December since they last enjoyed that winning feeling against the All Blacks, a 13-8 victory in Cardiff.
The two countries last met in November 2010 with New Zealand emerging 37-25 winners at the Millennium Stadium. Hosea Gear scored two of the All Blacks' five tries that day, however it was Kiwi fly-half Dan Carter who stole the show, his 12-point haul was enough for him to become the leading points scorer in Test rugby. Lee Byrne scored Wales' solitary try, although the boot of Stephen Jones kept Warren Gatland's men in close contention throughout against the country of the head coach's birth.
Rugby Union Highlights England v South Africa
BBC 3. 19:00 - 20:00
Jason Mohammad presents highlights of England's clash with South Africa, with Lawrence Dallaglio casting his expert eye on proceedings.
The two nations are meeting for a fourth time this calendar year, following England's three-Test series with the Springboks in South Africa in June. Stuart Lancaster's young charges went into the final game of that series 2-0 down, but will take some heart from drawing last Test in Port Elizabeth 14-14. An early Toby Flood penalty and a Danny Care try gave England an early advantage, but in the end they had to settle for a draw, so ending a nine-match losing streak against the side who beat them in the 2007 World Cup final.

Storyville: Why Povety? Give Us The Money
BBC 4. 21:00 - 22:00
Documentary taking an in-depth, behind-the-scenes look at 30 years of Bob Geldof and Bono's campaign against poverty. Their work has made them icons of aid and even garnered them Nobel Peace Prize nominations, but what impact has it really had on Africa? Through archive footage and candid new interviews with key players including Geldof, Bono and Bill Gates, the film re-examines three decades of unprecedented campaigns and scrutinises the effectiveness of celebrity-led activism.
Nearly 30 years ago, two young pop singers set out to challenge the world. Their aim - to use their celebrity status to end poverty in Africa. After Bob Geldof instigated a chart-topping charity single and staged one of the biggest rock concerts ever seen, he and Bono joined forces and went on to build a multi-million dollar lobbying organisation. Along the way, they hi-jacked the Brits, enlisted IT billionaires, fashion models and academics, won over the wiliest of politicians, lobbied world leaders and put the politics of poverty firmly on the international agenda. They raised vast sums for charity and persuaded western powers to dramatically reduce third world debt.
But did they really help make poverty history in Africa? What impact has their work really had on economic growth and poverty reduction? And if they haven't made poverty history, has their campaign at least been responsible for a big step forward?
A BBC Storyville film, produced in partnership with the Open University, the film screens as part of Why Poverty? - when the BBC and the OU, in conjunction with more than 70 broadcasters around the world, hosts a debate about contemporary poverty.

BBC 1. 22:35 - 23:40
Many people turn to music when words are not enough, at funerals and weddings, at times of heartbreak and euphoria. It seems to hold more emotion and go deeper than words.
Musicians as varied as Emeli Sande, who enthralled the world when she sang at the Olympics, opera diva Jessye Norman, dubstep artist Mala and modern classical composer George Benjamin explain how music makes them feel. Alan Yentob also talks to a vicar, a psychologist, a Hollywood composer, an adman and even the people who choose the music played in shopping malls. He sees babies dance to a rhythm, and old people brought forth out of silence by the power of music.

Do we know what poverty is? Throughout human existence, the poor have always been with us. Beginning with the Neolithic age, Ben Lewis's funny and sinister animated odyssey takes us through the changing image of poverty - helping us define what poverty looks like today and question whether it is inevitable.

The Secret Life of Rubbish 1/2
BBC 4. 21:00 - 22:00
With tales from old binmen and film archive that has never been broadcast before, this two-part series offers an original view of the history of modern Britain - from the back end where the rubbish comes out.
The first programme deals with the decades immediately after the Second World War. 90-year-old Ernie Sharp started on the bins when he was demobbed from the army in 1947, and household rubbish in those days was mostly ash raked out of the fire-grate. That's why men like Ernie were called 'dust'men.
But the rubbish soon changed. The Clean Air Act got rid of coal fires so there was less ash. Then supermarkets arrived, with displays of packaged goods. And all that packaging went in the bin.
In the 1960s consumerism emerged. Shopping for new things became a national enthusiasm. It gave people the sense that their lives were improving and kept the economy going. And as the binmen recall, the waste stream became a flood.
As the programme sifts through the rubbish of the mid-20th century, we discover how the Britain of Make Do and Mend became a consumer society.
