  • Minute by Minute: The Lockerbie Bombing
    Dec 21 2025

    Former Vietnam War fighter pilot Raymond Wagner toggled the radio transmit button on the right hand side of his Boeing 747-121's control yoke. 'Clipper 103 requesting oceanic clearance', he intoned, using the modulated aviation voice he'd honed over several decades flying. On the other end was Alan Topp, the Scottish Air Traffic Controller working more than 50 miles away in Prestwick, west of Glasgow.The time was 6:58pm on December 21, 1988.They were the last words recorded from Pan Am Flight 103.Within five minutes of that transmission, all the passengers and crew aboard were dead, killed by a bomb that destroyed the aircraft as it flew over the Scottish town of Lockerbie. Large sections of the plane plunged 20,000ft and crashed into residential streets below.


    270 people died that night: 243 passengers, 16 crew, and 11 Lockerbie residents.


    In extraordinary detail, Minute by Minute: The Lockerbie Bombing reconstructs how the deadliest terror attack in Britain's history unfolded – from the moment the bomb was loaded onto a plane in Malta, through the 38 fatal minutes in the air, to the decades-long search for justice that continues today.Narrated by legendary broadcaster Michael Buerk, this is the definitive minute-by-minute account of the Lockerbie Bombing.

  • The Other Mo Farah: Poles Apart
    Nov 29 2025

    Sir Mo is knighted – he's a four-time Olympic champion and national treasure. After years in the public eye, he confronts his complex past with a documentary that shocks the world and earns him a BAFTA.

    But in doing so, he unwittingly thrusts Mohamed into the spotlight; at the very moment his namesake's life seems to be turning around.

    Mohamed's Turkish visa expires and he's deported to Mogadishu – a city he fled 35 years ago and barely remembers. Alone, penniless, and held at gunpoint within weeks, he faces spending the rest of his life in one of the world’s most violent cities, separated from the rest of his family.

    Then Sir Mo makes a dramatic intervention.

  • The Other Mo Farah: Parallel Lives
    Nov 28 2025

    Mohamed and his mother are reunited in Nairobi after almost 30 years apart. They take journalists Andy and Kamal with them as they retrace the life they shared here – recounting difficult memories as refugees in an unwelcoming city and sharing one of their most painful experiences: the story of their separation.

    As Sir Mo slowly lifted himself out of a difficult early life, Mohamed endured years of hardship. This is the story of their lives in the 30 years since that sliding doors moment.
