The story of Ireland’s struggle for independence during the early decades of the 20th Century is brought vividly to life, with photographs and footage from the period shown not in black-and-white but in colour.

The gradual radicalisation of Nationalists and Unionists saw the island’s political landscape forever transformed. The old political order would be gradually overturned and its people divided, with devastating consequences. Part 1 of 2.

A perfect storm of political intrigue, power struggles and clashing religious passions combined, within a single week, to cause a world-changing event: the killing of Jesus. Renowned actor and Cambridge theology graduate Hugh Bonneville sets out to discover why that one execution, in a century when as many as 500 people a day were crucified by the Romans, had such seismic, lasting and global impact - for better and for worse. Using all the investigative and storytelling tools at his disposal, Hugh reveals the context, characters and chain of events behind a week that changed the world. In the process, he finds that this is no dusty religious story, but a political thriller – a whodunnit, even – shot through with intrigue, spin, conspiracy, power battles, betrayal and terror.
