Documentary: Can’t Pay? We’ll Take It Away! 9pm, Channel 5
Life as a High Court enforcement officer can be frustrating – fans of this show will know that. That is certainly the case for Stewart and Elmor (above) as they set out to evict a tenant from a property in Manchester. The stumbling block comes when the man claims he knew nothing about the court order. Elsewhere, a car salesman in Cumbria is not happy about paying £4,500.
Education: Living With The Brainy Bunch, 8pm, BBC2
Exam time is difficult enough for any teenager, with countless reasons why some students do well while others struggle. One of those factors is believed to be parental influence, so in this experiment two struggling 15-year-olds from Chessington Community College in Greater London move in with two of the highest achievers in their year for half a term. Will the change in environment, strict rules and routines improve their academic results? Or is the potential influence of mum and dad being overstated? Tharush and Jack (both left) are two of the ‘guinea pigs’ involved and kids everywhere should watch this programme for a few handy exam tips.
Education: Indian Summer School, 9pm, C4
This programme is likely to have stirred quite a few emotions within viewers over the last two weeks – shock and dismay perhaps being the main two.

Ethan (second left) ruffles feathers when he writes an article for the school newspaper.
