Churchill: When Britain Said No (BBC 2/HD | 9:00pm to 10:00pm | Monday 25th May 2015)
Documentary covering Winston Churchill’s failure to be re-elected following the Second World War. Just weeks after VE day, Britain’s great war leader Churchill found himself in another battle – to be elected prime minister. He was confident of victory, having led the country through the dark days of the war. However, in one of the greatest election defeats of all time, Churchill was humiliated at the polls and his Conservative party was almost annihilated. Why did his countrymen turn so vehemently on their great British bulldog? Was the rejection of Churchill a disgraceful mark of ingratitude or the most mature electoral decision ever made by a democracy? With surprising revelations from first-hand witnesses, as well as historians including Sir Max Hastings, Juliet Gardiner, Anthony Beevor and writer Dave Douglass, this programme looks at his controversial legacy and debates the weaknesses and the strengths of the man.

Britain’s Deadliest Rail Disaster: Quintinshill (BBC 2 Scotland & BBC iPlayer only | 9:00pm to 10:00pm | Wednesday 20th May 2015)
Historian Neil Oliver investigates Britain’s most deadly rail disaster. On 22 May 1915, a collision at the Quintinshill signal box, near Gretna, became Britain’s deadliest ever rail crash. Involving a military train filled with troops and two passenger trains, the crash claimed an estimated 226 lives and left hundreds more injured. The duty signalmen, George Meakin and James Tinsley, were found responsible for the disaster and were both jailed on charges of culpable homicide. Neil Oliver explores the series of mistakes that may have caused the collision and the part played by the train companies and the government. Dramatised reconstructions add to this compelling account of a tragedy which had a profound effect on several communities in Scotland and remains the deadliest in the annals of Britain’s railways.
