Dave (David Tennant) faces some difficult decisions

With the inquiry into Rita's death looming, Dave faces some difficult, and life-changing, choices in the conclusion to Mick Ford's humorous romantic ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ One drama.

Sarah and Dave have fallen in love but, while Dave excitedly makes plans for their future together, a cautious Sarah fears that they're rushing things.

Dave is furious after discovering that Stuart told Lucy about the forthcoming inquiry into her mother's death. And, to make matters worse, both Lucy and Ewan plan to attend – against Dave's wishes.

At the court, Anna isn't impressed to see the kids there, making it clear that she feels it's inappropriate. After Dave is forced to watch CCTV footage showing the moment Rita died, the painful process leads him to question his relationship with Sarah.

Later, an insensitive Michelle demands to know what their daughter Tanya will get out of it. But money is the last thing on Dave's mind. There's another complication when Stuart announces plans to start the adoption process for Lucy.

Elsewhere, Matt offers Sarah everything she's ever wanted – marriage, kids and commitment – but she's not interested. Suspicious about their sudden split, Matt is convinced there's someone else involved and asks her outright about Dave. Sarah's silence speaks volumes.

Matt goes to confront his love rival at the studio but meets a flirtatious Tanya instead. Seizing an opportunity for revenge, he sleeps with her before revealing all about Dave and Sarah's relationship.

Later, a furious Tanya arrives at Dave's house and, in front of the children and Sarah, tells everyone about their father's secret relationship. The kids – especially Lucy – react badly. Emotionally torn, Dave asks Sarah to leave, choosing to devote himself to his family instead.

Weeks later, relationship advice comes from an unlikely source as Anna persuades a lonely Dave to rekindle his romance with Sarah – he's not the only one who misses her, the kids do too.

Unable to find Sarah, Dave attends the school's end-of-term assembly but is stunned to hear the headmaster announce Sarah's resignation. Convinced he's lost his new love for good, the children and Dave search for Sarah before it's too late...

Dave is played by David Tennant, Sarah by Suranne Jones, Lucy by Natasha Watson, Stuart by Rupert Graves, Evie by Millie Innes, Ewan by Robert Dickson, Michelle by Jenni Keenan Green, Tanya by Sophie Kennedy Clark, Matt by Warren Brown and Anna by Neve McIntosh.

Single Father is simulcast on the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ HD channel – the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ's High Definition channel, available through Freesat 108, Freeview 50, Sky 143 and Virgin 108.

Colin Murray presents highlights of the day's Premier League matches, including two feisty derbies.

First up is Aston Villa's clash with Birmingham City at Villa Park. The Blues are on a horror run against their biggest foes, losing their last six matches to the Villans, including two 1-0 defeats last season.

Newcastle face north-east rivals Sunderland for the first time since February 2009 following the Geordies' relegation to the Championship. Now back in the big time, they will be itching to get one over Steve Bruce's Black Cats, having failed to beat them in their last two encounters.

Today's other match sees Bolton host struggling Liverpool, who will be desperate to climb the table following their shocking start to the season.

Jake Humphrey introduces highlights from Wembley Stadium as the San Francisco 49ers take on the Denver Broncos.

This is the fourth successive year that London has hosted a regular season NFL match and it throws together two teams with a rich Super Bowl history – the 49ers have won it five times and the Broncos twice.

The two sides clashed at Super Bowl XXIV in January 1990 and the 49ers' 55-10 victory that night remains the biggest margin of victory in the history of the Super Bowl.

MotoGP – Estoril

Sunday 31 October

12.30-2.00pm ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ TWO

Jennie Gow introduces the penultimate race of the MotoGP season in Estoril, Portugal.

It has been another thrilling season, in which Spanish prodigy Jorge Lorenzo has firmly emerged from the shadows of his Yamaha team-mate Valentino Rossi.

Lorenzo's path to the title has been made easier by injuries to both Rossi and Dani Pedrosa, but the 23-year-old has still been in scintillating form and has dominated the podium. He has won at this circuit for the last two years and will be hot favourite to make it a hat-trick of victories.

Charlie Cox and Steve Parrish provide the commentary.

Dave Woods introduces highlights of the clash between Australia and England in Melbourne.

Australia's squad is skippered by the legendary Darren Lockyer, who led his side to victory over England in the final of last year's tournament. That match was finely poised at 22-16 until a late barrage of tries gave the Aussies a 46-16 victory – their highest margin of victory over the English away from home.

Steve McNamara's England squad is packed with Wigan players following their Super League Grand Final success and brothers Sam and Joel Tomkins are tipped to make a big impact on the international stage.

There is also action from the match between New Zealand and Papua New Guinea in Rotorua.

Dave Gorman is joined by comedienne Shappi Khorsandi and glam rock legend Noddy Holder in the last episode of the series. They discuss ideas pitched by the studio audience and decide whether they could, in fact, be Genius.

Proposals offered this week include emery board escalators – to file your nails while moving between floors; saving the environment by banning Christmas records such as Slade's Merry Christmas Everybody; and the door hat – a device which places a hat on your head as you open your front door to someone. If you're happy to see the person at the door you can say that you have only just got in and take your hat off. And if you're unhappy to see the person, you can get rid of them by saying that you've just put your hat on, as you're about to pop out. Either way you win ... in a charming way!
