BBC Two is looking at the big issues this winter with a three-month schedule dominated by documentaries.
The struggle between Al-Qaida and Western intelligence agencies is examined by award-winning journalist Peter Taylor in Third World War, while a programme on PC Keith Blakelock investigates the circumstances surrounding his murder during the 1985 Broadwater Farm riots.
The channel’s schedule also features two new factual series: This World, on international current affairs, and If, which tackles our social and economic future. God also gets a look-in with a poll hosted by Jeremy Vine that gauges the religious views of more than 10,000 people in 10 countries.
