It's all hands on deck when the Emergency Department faces its cleanliness inspection and the team's first battle in their campaign to impress the powers that be, as the medical drama continues. Unfortunately for Lenny he has his mind on other things – namely the gorgeous Chrissie – so he's late for work and neglecting his duties, incurring Jordan's wrath.

In preparation for the cleanliness inspection, Tess assigns the whole team cleaning duties. Everyone is even more nervous when they hear the inspector is the terrifying "Big Don". Lenny is late for work again after spending the night with Chrissie, so Jordan puts him in charge of cleaning resus. However, Lenny is distracted when Chrissie visits him at work. Not only does he forget to clean up resus, but he also loses Lorretta, an elderly Alzheimer's patient. Her husband Roy and daughter Helen are distraught. On top of that Lenny might have just lost them the bacteriology award...

Meanwhile, Adam and Kirsty come to blows when they disagree on how to handle an unco-operative patient who believes he's dead. Kirsty thinks that by playing up to his delusions is the answer, so she enlists Yuki and Mads to help out. Crucially, while treating him, Yuki discovers that Adam's diagnosis was wrong; has his insight saved the day?

For a moment, things seem to be on the up, until Holby receives more negative press regarding the day's events. Henry is furious – they must have a mole leaking information. Lenny is disturbed when he recognises the reporter's name.

Lenny is played by Steven Miller, Chrissie by Rebecca Calder, Jordan by Michael French, Tess by Suzanne Packer, "Big Don" by Serena Evans, Roy by David Calder, Helen by Helen Schlesinger, Adam by Tristan Gemmill, Kirsty by Lucy Gaskell, Yuki by Will Sharpe, Mads by Hasina Haque and Henry by Tom Chadbon.

Gary Lineker presents highlights from today's Premier League matches, including the clash between Sunderland and Manchester United.

The Red Devils are desperate to get their hands on the Premier League trophy they surrendered to Chelsea last year, but the Stadium of Light is always a difficult place to go to and Black Cats manager Steve Bruce invested heavily in his squad again this summer. Bruce was a legend during his playing days at Old Trafford, yet since becoming a manager he has failed to get one over on his former boss Sir Alex Ferguson in 15 attempts.

West Ham faced their second successive London derby as they entertained Fulham at Upton Park, while there was an intriguing match-up across the capital at White Hart Lane as Tottenham took on Aston Villa. Everton had a difficult game away at Birmingham, as did Blackburn Rovers, who travelled to Stoke. Elsewhere, Wigan played Wolves and West Brom met Bolton.

6.30-7.30pm ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ TWO

This Culture Show special comes live from the Roundhouse in London where Kevin McCloud fronts the biggest event in the architectural calendar – the announcement of the Royal Institute of British Architects' Stirling Prize.

Now in its 15th year, the RIBA Stirling Prize is the UK's most prestigious architecture prize and is awarded to the best new European building "built or designed in Britain". This year's shortlisted buildings are: Bateman's Row, a mixed-use development in East London by architects Theis and Khan; two schools: Christ's College School, Guildford, designed by DSDHA, and Clapham Manor School, by dRMM; and three museums: the Ashmolean in Oxford by Rick Mather Architects, Maxxi National Museum of XXI Century Arts in Rome by Zaha Hadid and the Neues Museum in Berlin by David Chipperfield Architects with Julian Harrap Architects.

Architectural critic Tom Dyckhoff presents brief films about each of the shortlisted buildings; puts their different styles into context by explaining how each building relates to the principles of modernism; and looks back at the history of the Stirling Prize. During the live event, Kevin McCloud talks to the Stirling Prize judges about their thoughts on all six of the shortlisted buildings, and Ruth Reed, RIBA president, announces the winner of this year's Stirling Prize.

Hazel Irvine presents highlights of day two of the 38th Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor.

The USA and Europe went into the second day facing another tense order of play of Foursomes in the morning and Fourballs in the afternoon. Europe have traditionally found some strong pairings in these formats and team captain Colin Montgomerie will be desperate for a good showing ahead of Sunday's decisive singles.

In Valhalla two years ago, Europe managed to pick up four-and-a-half points on Saturday but it proved to be in vain as the Americans went on to cruise to a resounding victory.

Commentary comes from Peter Alliss, Ken Brown and Sam Torrance.
