Monday 16 November
BBC1 4.55pm Whose Side Are You On? A Newsround Special. The BBC links up with Anti Bullying Week as celebs including boxer Joe Calzaghe and JLS's Aston share their tales of bullying, and a drama tells the story of a young boy who witnesses his friend being bullied.
BBC3 10.30pm (and repeated rather a lot throughout the week) Young Butcher of the Year. I hand over to Danny Cohen, controller of BBC Three. "It is a bit like Butcher Idol, I suppose. What we've tried to look at is shows like The X Factor and the dancing contests - all wonderful shows. But what about the vast number of young people who are very talented, with great technical expertise, but are unsung heroes?
