Anne Frank, a Jewish girl, is celebrating her 13th birthday with her family and friends. Among her birthday presents, she is given a diary in which she starts to write immediately. Days later, call-up papers arrive for her 16-year-old sister, Margot, prompting her parents, Otto and Edith, to hasten their plan to go into hiding from the Nazis. The family move into a secret annexe at the back of Otto Franks"s workplace. The Franks"s helpers, Mr Kleiman, Mr Kugler, Bep and Miep, are the only people to know of their location and they risk their own lives to help them survive.

She writes more and more in her birthday diary, detailing life in the annexe and her feelings about her companions. 'One In Six" (RTE 1, Sunday) - Every night, one in six people in the world go to bed hungry. In the face of this disturbing statistic, 'One in Six" is a story of hope and success. The documentary tells the story of Community-based Therapeutic Care (CTC), an innovative approach to dealing with severe hunger and malnutrition in developing countries that is revolutionising its early detection and treatment, and in the process is empowering families, local communities, government institutions, and even local economies. CTC, pioneered by NGO Valid International and being jointly developed and promoted by Concern Worldwide, is rapidly becoming accepted as the preferred feeding intervention for nutrition emergencies and is now implemented in over 15 countries by Concern Worldwide, and other emergency and development agencies in Africa and Asia. The documentary, filmed in Africa, Switzerland and Ireland, features leading international experts and the key figures in this breakthrough, including Dr Steve Collins, whose drive to discover a more efficient system for the detection and treatment of malnutrition and hunger led him to the doorstep of Concern Worldwide, which recognised the potential benefits and helped to secure financial backing of Irish Aid for trials in this new approach. 'Operation Transformation" (RTE 1, Thursday) - Gerry Ryan and reporter Evelyn O"Rourke along with the three experts - fitness guru Karl Henry, motivational coach Pat Henry and weight loss expert Dr Eva Orsmonde - return again to help six chosen 'leaders" transform their health and lifestyle.

'Lark Rise To Candleford" (BBC 1, Sunday) - 'Lark Rise to Candleford" is back after the Christmas festivities and looks set to charm with more tales from Flora Thompson"s magical memoirs, adapted by Bill Gallagher.

As he approaches, the man, James Dowland, chances upon young Edmund Timmins and presents him with a silver thruppence.

For the Pratt sisters, he is their new hero who will put Candleford on the map with the opening of a new hotel. Not everyone is so keen on James, though.
