National Geographic, 7.30pm

Meet Phil Pfister, the world's strongest man, as he sets out to defend his title and establish new world records. Then consider how extraordinary circumstances can produce unexpected feats of human strength, such as the mother who lifted a car off her injured daughter. And consider what some regarded as the toughest strongman feat of all, inflating a hot water bottle with nothing but lung power. Don't try it at home.

Lifestyle, 7.30pm

Their claim is that a woman can drop a dress size in six weeks and still stuff her face - and they can prove it.

The Wedding Day

(2002) World Movies, 8.30pm

A light, lively and cynical comedy about a disastrous wedding where the bride has clearly made a misguided decision and most of the guests are vocal about their own rocky marriages. Didier Caron's hit play brought to the screen.
