Blue Road: The Edna O’ Brien Story (Sky Arts) – 3rd June

Blue Road: The Edna O’Brien Story is a candid portrait of one of the world’s greatest and most charismatic writers, Irish author Edna O’Brien. In 1960, her debut novel, The Country Girls, caused uproar, resulting in the ‘sexually frank’ novel to be burned and banned in her native Ireland.

Flight 149: Hostage of War (Sky Documentaries) – 11th June

Flight 149: Hostage of War recounts one of the most extraordinary – and until recently, officially denied – chapters of the Gulf War. On August 2, 1990, just after Saddam’s forces storm Kuwait, a civilian flight unwittingly touches down in the middle of the warzone. The passengers and crew find themselves trapped, held as hostages by Saddam Hussein, becoming pawns in a rapidly escalating international crisis that will reshape the Middle East. For over three decades, the British government denied any prior knowledge of the invasion before the plane’s ill-fated landing. Now, new information has come to light to challenge the official narrative and the surviving hostages are taking the British government and BA to court to seek justice and the truth. Featuring powerful firsthand testimonies from the key players, including the surviving hostages, Kuwaiti resistance fighters, investigative journalist Stephen Davis, and political insiders, Flight 149: Hostage of War is an unflinching exploration of a geopolitical scandal, decades in the making.

Illicit drugs. Suspicious behaviour. Polk has an answer for it all.
