This evening's instalment of the BBC One programme was an art special which focused on the Green Space Dark Skies.

Fans watched how thousands of volunteers, artists, community groups used low-impact lights to create the short film.
Green Space Dark Skies was filmed on four of the UK's highest mountains - Scafell Pike in England, Ben Nevis in Scotland, Snowdon in Wales.
Presenter Matt Baker explained to viewers were going to be treated to 15 minutes of incredible visuals right at the end of the show.
However some watching at home weren't very impressed with what was playing out on their screens.

It comes after Countryfile sparked division among viewers after Matt made a return with the Man and His Dog special.
During last Sunday night's episode of the BBC show, Matt returned with this year's coverage of the One Man and His Dog event.
The presenter met with four of the UK's top handlers and their sheepdogs, who competed at the Bodfari course in front of judge Mike Northwood.
The competition featured England's Jessica Saukkonen, Scotland's Sandy McCulloch, Wales' Dewi Jenkins and Ireland's Tom O'Sullivan.
However, the Countryfile special soon left viewers divided, and while some were loving the programme, others felt the title, 'One Man and his Dog', should have been more inclusive.
