Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) tackles another deadly puzzle

Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman embark on their final thrilling, scary, action-packed and hugely entertaining adventure as Sherlock Holmes and Dr John Watson.

Despairing of the ingenuity of London's criminals, Sherlock is invited to take on what looks to be a very ordinary case – a young civil servant found on a railway line with his head smashed in. It seems to be open and shut – or so he thinks.

The curtain is about to rise on a terrifying game of cat and mouse as a crazed bomber pits his wits against Sherlock. A 20-year-old murder, a blood-soaked car, a rediscovered Old Master worth millions – it's just the kind of adventure Sherlock and John relish, but who is behind these deadly puzzles? London is set to become a battle ground as Sherlock confronts the one person capable of beating him.

Sherlock Holmes is played by Benedict Cumberbatch and John Watson by Martin Freeman, Mrs Hudson by Una Stubbs, Molly Hooper by Louise Brealey, Inspector Lestrade by Rupert Graves, Sargeant Sally Donovan by Vinette Robinson, Connie Prince by Di Botcher, Kenny Prince by John Sessions, Lucy by Lauren Crace and Miss Wenceslas by Haydn Gwynne.

Sherlock is simulcast on the BBC HD channel – the BBC's High Definition channel, available through Freesat 108, Freeview 50, Sky 143 and Virgin 108.

Rugby League – Challenge Cup Semi-Final:
Warrington v Catalans

Sunday 8 August

3.00-5.30pm BBC TWO

• www.bbc.co.uk/sport

Clare Balding hosts coverage as Challenge Cup holders Warrington take on Catalans Dragons in an intriguing semi-final at the Stobart Stadium in Widnes.

Warrington have been in prolific try-scoring form this season and look set to retain the trophy they won when they beat Huddersfield at Wembley last year.

The Dragons' form is improving after a poor start to the season and they picked up a notable win over St Helens. The French side confounded expectations by reaching the final in 2007 and will be looking to upset the form book once again.

Coran with mum Odette, who sets the housemates this week's work challenge

Part of BBC Three's Adult Season, Young Dumb And Living Off Mum follows a group of mollycoddled young adults as they battle to prove they can grow up. In a bid to sever those apron strings, the youngster who makes the most effort to cut it in the world of work will win a round-the-world trip and get the chance to finally fly the nest.

The parents decide it's time that their little ones led a healthier lifestyle and impose an alcohol ban before sending a box of fresh fruits and vegetables to the house. Duane, Coran, Levi, Adam, Danielle and Iman are stumped as they've never cooked a meal from scratch before and have no idea what to do with the asparagus or pineapple.

Coran's mum, Odette, sets this week's work challenge – which is a stint in an advertising agency. The pampered bunch will need to up their game if they are to fare well in this highly competitive and creative industry.

With the clock ticking, they are split into two groups and have to devise an advertising campaign to raise awareness of STIs in young adults. So, with condoms, green body paint and urine sample bottles at the ready, the wannabe adults set to work on their commercials. Tempers fray, however, when some of the group try to buckle down and work hard but others just aren't pulling their weight.

Who will prove themselves as well and truly on the path to maturity and self-sufficiency, and who will the parents decide has been putting in the least effort and remove from the competition?
