Mon 11/10/31 10pm BBC4 : Andy Hamilton's Search for Satan
the blurb : "An exploration the history of Satanic mythologies, examining the roots of stories about the Devil and how perceptions of him have changed through the centuries. He also assesses the importance of Satan in society and popular culture, and considers his importance in explaining the presence of evil in the world"
Since I think one of the problems in the world is the easy belief that problems
are due to simple 'evildoers' then this examination of the roots of the satan
myth might be interesting
Wed 11/11/2 9pm BBC2 Secret Pakistan (Part 2)
the blurb : "Backlash The conclusion of the two-part documentary reveals how Britain and America discovered compelling evidence that Pakistan was secretly helping the Taliban and concluded they had been double crossed. It tells the story of how, despite Pakistan denying the allegations against them, the US has been waging a secret war against one of the West's closest allies, suspecting them of sheltering and arming the Taliban, and even helping to kill Western troops"
Important topic, first part was fascinating, so will tune in again.
Thu 11/11/3 9pm BBC2 Life in Day
the blurb : "Documentary based on the highlights of the thousands of submissions to create a portrait of life on Earth in the present day"

Sun 11/11/6 9pm BBC2 Will it snow?
the blurb : "Kate Humble, Adam Rutherford and Alys Fowler assess what Britain's weather will be like this winter, following the high levels of snow that caused chaos across the nation in 2010. The presenters explore how methods of prediction have developed through the centuries, from medieval folklore to modern supercomputers, and discover how people and businesses are preparing for the possibility of more severe weather in the months to come"
The title has got me hooked. Almost as important a topic as Pakistan.
