Milosevic On Trial
听
Nicknamed the Butcher of the Balkans, Slobodan Milosevic died of a heart attack on 11 March 2006, only months before the verdict was due in a four-year war crimes trial that was the biggest since Nuremberg.
听
The trial marked the first time since the Second World War that a former head of state had been indicted before an international tribunal.
听
The charges against Milosevic were related to atrocities committed during the Kosovan, Bosnian and Croatian wars, the worst carnage to blight Europe since the Third Reich.
听
The trial took place in a setting a world away from the killing fields.

The Protestant Revolution
听
This is a story of a revolution which has affected every person in the West, and nearly every country in the world.
听
It is a revolution which influences the very fabric of existence: from what we do for a living, to who we vote for, who we go to war with and how we see ourselves as individuals and as nations.
听
It has not only shaped the way in which we think about God and faith, but has also had a secular halo effect, leading to creations including the novel and minimalist architecture.
听
Presented by Tristram Hunt, The Protestant Revolution investigates the scientific, cultural, economic and political aspects of the movement with the aid of key academic witnesses.
听
It concludes that the reach of Protestantism is so profound that it is impossible to imagine the modern world without it.

The Reichenbach Falls (working title)
听
DI Buchan is a cop on the edge. Jack Harvey is a successful crime writer with the world at his feet. In this new drama, the lives of these two former friends are thrown together when a 100-year-old body is discovered beneath the streets of Edinburgh.
听
Jack Harvey (Alastair Mackenzie, Monarch Of The Glen) is a best-selling crime novelist about to launch his new novel, St Bernard's Well, while DI Buchan's (Alec Newman, Angel) murder investigation takes him into the dark, Jekyll-and-Hyde underworld of Edinburgh and on a parallel journey into the Scottish capital's literary past that leads him to question the very nature of his own existence.
听
The shattering truth will bring the lives of these two very different men together and blow them apart.
听
The Reichenbach Falls, written by James Mavor and based on an original idea by Ian Rankin, also stars: Nina Sosanya (Sorted, Casanova) as Buchan's detective sidekick; Sinead Burns; Richard Wilson (One Foot In The Grave) as Arthur Conan Doyle; John Sessions (Low Winter Sun) as Professor Bell, an academic who assists the investigation; and Laura Fraser (Casanova) as Clara, Buchan's ex-wife.
听
The Reichenbach Falls reflects Rankin's fascination with his home town and the legacy of a city that has produced so many of our literary classics and icons, from Kidnapped to The 39 Steps and from Sherlock Holmes to Miss Jean Brodie.
听
Rageh Inside Iran
听
Award-winning journalist Rageh Omaar sets out on a personal journey through the politically sensitive cauldron of Tehran, telling the story of the region not through the eyes of politicians, officials and analysts, but through the experiences of ordinary Iranians.
听
With incredible access, Omaar visits people's homes and travels through a rich variety of neighbourhoods and districts of the city, areas which are rarely filmed. In doing so, he is able to present a unique and intimate view of Tehran and dig deeper into what is both a complex and fascinating society.
