Monday 1st March
Channel 4 - Dispatches: Britain's Islamic Republic - "Dispatches investigates a fundamentalist Islamic group headquartered in Britain, and its claims to have placed its 'brothers' in positions of political power here.
Using undercover recordings, investigative journalist Andrew Gilligan reveals the group's ambitions to create a worldwide 'Islamic social and political order,' and the concerns of a mainstream party that they are being 'infiltrated'; and talks to the Muslims who want to stop it."
BBC2 - Why Did You kill My Dad? - "Early one Sunday morning in 2007, 75-year-old Philip Hendy was fatally stabbed by a man with a long history of mental health problems. Normally such cases just get a few lines in the local press, but Philip Hendy's son, Julian, is an award-winning filmmaker who has been making documentaries for more than 20 years.
This highly personal film documents Julian's journey to find out what happened to his father and his attempt to uncover the true scale and cost of killings by the mentally ill in Britain today. By talking to other similarly affected families, it puts a human face to the statistics and reveals serious problems and repeated failures at the heart of Britain's mental health system."
Wednesday 3rd
BBC4 - Zimbabwe's Forgotten Children - "Shot entirely undercover over the course of nine months, a beautiful and moving documentary which tells the stories of three children growing up in today's Zimbabwe.
12-year-old Grace rummages through rubbish dumps in Harare to find bones to sell for school fees; nine-year-old Esther has to care for her baby sister and her mother who is dying of HIV/AIDS; and 13-year-old Obert pans for gold to make enough money to buy food for himself and his gran, while dreaming of somehow getting the education he craves."

ITV1 - Internet My Life: Tonight - "Jonathan Maitland investigates the importance of the internet, and looks at what some of the 10 million Britons who have never been online might be missing."
Friday 5th
BBC1 - Panorama: More Than Just a Game - "As Africa gears up to host its first football World Cup, Panorama asks if the beautiful game can save a generation fighting to survive today's South Africa.
With footage shot by street kids in the heart of Cape Town's slums, Dan McDougall's film exposes the reality of life on the edge of society - a world of abandoned children, drug addiction and casual violence - where the rule of the gangs has all but replaced the rule of law."
