This documentary tells the inside story of one of the National Crime Agency's largest money laundering investigations. With unique access to NCA documents and surveillance footage, the programme traces an extraordinary nine-month operation, which started with undercover surveillance on one man, and ended up with over 100 officers bringing down one of the largest criminal networks in the country, worth over £180 million. Every year, more than £100 billion changes hands in Britain illegally. Much of the money is controlled by international criminal networks that are involved in drug smuggling, human trafficking and even terrorism. Many British drug dealers outsource the cleaning of their dirty cash to specialist money laundering groups, who collect the money by hand and ensure it's paid out to the right person in the right place, anywhere in the world. These groups operate with a strict hierarchy and a sprawling network of agents, each with different roles.

In this heart-warming documentary two single mums are given the chance to find love online, but there's a catch: their children are in control of finding them a partner. Websites like My Lovely Parent allow children to sign their parents up to online dating and even pick the dates for them. Usually a child won't meet their parent's date until it develops into a relationship, but in Date My Mum the children can choose who they would like their parent to date rather than having to accept a partner who they might not like. The programme offers a funny and touching insight into the lives of some of Britain's three million single-parent families.

In the summer of 2015 former Auschwitz clerk Oskar Groening - then aged 93 - was charged as an accessory to the murder of more than 300,000 Jews at the infamous death camp. During the subsequent trial, 81-year-old Auschwitz survivor Eva Kor was called to give her testimony on the medical experiments she endured at the hands of Josef Mengele. Finding herself face-to-face with a Nazi for the first time in more than 70 years, Eva chose to embrace Groening, publicly forgiving him despite the role he played in the deaths of most of her family. This documentary explores the impact of her decision to absolve Groening, who was ultimately sentenced to four years in prison, and also tells the emotional stories of the last surviving Auschwitz inmates living in Britain, some of whom have expressed anger at Eva's actions, considering them a betrayal of those who lost their lives in the concentration camp.

Documentary charting a two-year-long archeological investigation of William Shakespeare's grave at Holy Trinity Church in Stratford-upon-Avon. The grave itself bears a curse condemning anyone who disturbs the Bard's final resting place, reading `Good friend, for Jesus' sake forbear/To dig the dust enclosed here/Blessed be the man that spares the stones/And cursed be he that moves my bones'. For the first time since Shakespeare's death 400 years ago, the church has authorised archaeologists to conduct a study on the site, giving Kevin Colls of Staffordshire University, leading geophysicist Erica Utsi, and Cambridge historian Dr Helen Castor a chance to utilise state-of-the-art radar technology to build up a picture of what lies beneath the surface without disturbing the hallowed site. As the team reveals, the results of their examination contained a few unexpected surprises.

With Europe on heightened terror alert following the attacks in Paris and Brussels and the security services raising the threat posed by hundreds of home-grown jihadists, politicians and Muslim leaders claim that the values of these extremists are shared only by a tiny minority in the UK. To find out if this is the case, Channel 4 has commissioned one of the most extensive and rigorous surveys ever carried out to get a better understanding of the views of British Muslims directly from a representative cross section of Muslim men and women, rather than those who claim to speak on their behalf; and, in particular, to try to understand why young Muslims are being drawn to violence. The survey explores attitudes to being British and British institutions, as well as social issues including gender equality and homosexuality.

David and Hannah's murders are just two of a number of British deaths in Thailand, but with authorities anxious to protect the booming tourist industry, the deaths of Westerners often go unexplained. With previously unseen footage inside the police station, and rare interviews with the Burmese migrant workers convicted of the murder, Murder in Paradise takes a closer look at the dangers of the island and asks if Koh Tao is becoming more of a nightmare than a dream destination for Western holidaymakers.

Along the way, viewers are given a chance to revisit Tim Burton's noir-themed iteration of Batman in the 1990s, the angst-filled antics of the X-Men and Spider-Man in the early noughties, and the far-reaching storylines of Marvel's inter-connected Avengers films.

In the early 1960s, John Harris blazed a trail as a prominent anti-apartheid activist. He even helped to get South Africa barred from the Olympics. But in July 1964 everything changed. Harris placed a bomb in Johannesburg station, hoping to deal apartheid a crushing blow. Instead, he horrified the country, killing a 77-year-old woman, and severely burning her young granddaughter, who soon moved abroad, changing her identity in order to escape press attention. Harris was hanged eight months later, the only white political prisoner executed in the four decades of apartheid. Nelson Mandela held a vigil in his honour. Harris left a young widow and a 10-month-old son. Now, over half a century later, the home movies of the station bomber have surfaced, allowing those who knew him best to tell his story. And in the UK, in an emotional encounter, John Harris's son finally meets the young girl who was maimed by his father's bomb.

Parental outsourcing has become big business. From etiquette lessons, to professional potty trainers who guarantee results in three days, modern parents have never had so many experts to choose from.

Others feel strongly that the burgeoning business is simply a by-product of lazy parenting.

“It changed my life for ever. Not many films do that.” Virginia McKenna returns to Kenya for a documentary that, appropriately, has bite beneath a warm, self-congratulatory exterior. We hear about how McKenna and Bill Travers, her husband on and off screen, relocated their family for a year to shoot the 1966 movie Born Free, a film that couldn’t be made now and was seen as suicidally risky then. To play Joy and George Adamson, McKenna and Travers had to replicate the pioneering conservationists’ daring closeness with lions – overcoming the scary logistics involved imbued the actors with their own fierce love of wildlife.
McKenna bursts with charming anecdotes about her definitive performance, although the odd tart aside shows she needed a certain toughness to pull it off.
SUMMARY
The actress returns to the Kenyan locations of the classic movie about a lion being reared by humans to mark its 50th anniversary. Virginia shares her experiences of working alongside wild lions for nine months, revealing how she was able to earn the animals' trust, and reflects on how the film changed public perceptions of wildlife. The programme examines the political backdrop of the film, with footage of Kenya officially gaining independence from British imperial rule.

At the heart of the matter is North Carolina, a pivotal swing state that was criticised earlier this year for passing local legislation that forced transgender people to use public toilets corresponding to the gender recorded on their birth certificate. The resulting backlash forced the Obama administration to sue North Carolina, and provoked a constitutional crisis in a state Republican candidate Donald Trump and his Democrat rival Hillary Clinton are both keen to win. As a trans-woman herself, Abigail explores how what has been a highly political problem can become desperately personal.

This film follows the lives of young mothers who have ended up in a YMCA hostel when they found themselves pregnant and homeless. Shot over several months, this observational documentary follows five young mothers spending the first year of their baby's life in a hostel. Every year, thousands of teen mothers and mums-to-be become homeless. Rising private rents, a shortage of affordable housing and benefit cuts mean more and more young parents find themselves living in unsuitable accommodation, B&Bs or night shelters. This film focuses on five mothers and their journey towards independence over 12 months. The mothers tell their stories in their own words, giving a unique and surprising perspective on what it's really like to become a parent in your teens when you don't have a home.

Just like Las Vegas, Skegness is a town built on live entertainment. For agents and performers, this is where dreams are made - and broken. It may be a million miles away from Nevada's Sin City, but the highs and lows of this coastal town in Lincolnshire are just as visceral, and over the summer Skegness comes alive. With more than a million holiday-makers visiting Europe's largest caravan park complex, demand for entertainment is feverish. Competition between the artistes is fierce, and the audiences can be brutal. Virtually everyone in the town is involved in some way in the live entertainment industry. Noel Gee, a veteran talent manager who narrates this documentary, has been in the business for over 40 years. Along with his trusty sidekick and legendary Skegness glam rocker Kriz Garrick, Noel can help make dreams come true. Noel aims to help his roster of stars to ascend the glittering stage of venues such as Club Tropicana, but the reality can be far from glamorous.

While the rest of us search out bargain toys on the high street and online, the UK's millionaires and billionaires use a network of bespoke, high-end suppliers of luxurious gifts and entertainment.

19 Kids and Counting follows the fascinating lives of Britain's largest family, the Radfords, as they take parenting to a whole new level. The cameras return to the family home as Lancashire pie-maker Noel, Sue and the kids prepare to welcome a new baby to their ever growing brood and only weeks later set off on their most ambitious family holiday to date, down under. In Australia, the Radfords meet Australia's biggest family, the Bonnells, who have 16 kids but enforce much stricter house rules. As Sue, Noel and their offspring meet another supersized family, it transpires that they have something else in common: with over 30 children between them, both sets of parents were adopted as babies themselves. As the Radfords explore Australia's Gold Coast, cooking kangaroo pies for their hosts and falling out with each other on the other side of the world, at its heart the documentary is about love and the family bonds that tie us together.
