When a seemingly perfect and happy family is murdered by someone they know and trust, the small Scottish community they call home becomes riven with doubt and suspicion as those closest to the family begin to question everything they thought they knew about their friends.
Jackie Robinson, directed by Ken Burns, Sarah Burns, and David McMahon, tells the story of Jack Roosevelt Robinson, who rose from humble origins to break baseball’s racial barrier and waged a fierce lifelong battle for first-class citizenship for all African Americans that transcends even his remarkable athletic achievements.
On April 15, 1947, Jack Roosevelt Robinson lifted an entire race and nation on his shoulders when he crossed baseball’s colour line. A supremely gifted athlete and ardent integrationist, Robinson captivated Americans of all races with his brilliant play, and in the process, challenged the prejudiced notions of what a black man could achieve. In a country deeply divided by race, where African Americans had few rights and fewer opportunities, Robinson used his enormous fame to speak out tirelessly against the discrimination he encountered both on and off the field. Jackie Robinson tells the extraordinary story of an American hero whose fierce, lifelong fight for first-class citizenship for all African Americans transcends even his remarkable athletic achievements.

SBS have been putting a lot of their on-demand “back catalogue” in late night timeslots recently. First run for FTA programming rather than their previous practice of running repeats.
I notice that 1000 Years of History has been off air after the first two episodes (Scotland and Russia) have been shown. Are the other four episodes not ready yet?

Tracy Borman fronts this series based on her best-selling book of the same name. Following in the footsteps of her successful series “Private Lives of the Monarchs” Borman paints the portrait of England’s most famous king and the enablers, the fools, the teachers and the men at arms who knew him best and shaped his outlook on the world.
Ep1 This episode tells the story of Henry VIII’s early life and the way in which the man he was to become was shaped by the men he grew up with.
Ep 2 This episode charts the first phase of Henry VIII’s reign as Dr Tracy Borman reveals how his less than kingly upbringing had made him a very different man from his father.
Ep 3 With the king’s former Chief Minister, Cardinal Wolsey, dead, his shoes were filled by his protégé Thomas Cromwell who enacted the policy of the dissolution of the monasteries.
