There's all-new material in this special, celebrating 50 years of BBC Two. Favourite characters return from the original series, including how you can tell Sherlock Holmes comes from India; some very competitive Grandmothers; a bit of politics with the Kapoors (pronounced "Cooper"); and a surprisingly high-tech use for an aubergine.

Plus, there's some unusually hard-hitting legal advice; a very scary nanny; and the heart-breaking denoument of black-and-white movie classic Madrasablanca.
