The Tattooist Of Auschwitz

Premieres Thursday 2nd May at 9pm on Sky Atlantic

The Tattooist of Auschwitz is the story of one man, Lali, a Slovakian Jew, who, in 1942, is deported to Auschwitz, the concentration camp where over a million Jews were murdered during the Holocaust. Shortly after arrival, Lali is made one of the Tätowierer (tattooists), charged to ink identification numbers onto fellow prisoners’ arms. One day, he meets Gita when tattooing her prisoner number on her arm, leading to a love that defies the horrors around them. So begins a courageous and unforgettable story.

Premieres Wednesday 8th May at 9pm on Sky Arts

Jim Moir and his wife Nancy continue their ornithological adventure around the UK, donning their binoculars and their paintbrushes to spot and paint some of the unique species of birds native to that region. Along the way they’ll meet local ornithologists, famous artists, and a couple of Jim’s famous friends who will have a go at creating some art.

Live F1: The Miami Grand Prix

Live race coverage on Sunday 5th May from 8pm on Sky Sports F1s

We’re heading to the Sunshine State on the next stop of the Formula One calendar, as the Miami International Autodrome is the setting for the spectacular 19-turn street race at the Hard Rock Stadium. Having debuted just two years ago in 2022, it won’t be of too much surprise to find that Max Verstappen has a clean sheet at this event, picking up first place at both previous events and with his and Red Bull’s form being what it is, he’ll most likely pick up the hat trick this year. But with a track this exciting, you won’t want to miss a thing.

World’s First Battlefield

Tuesdays at 9pm on Sky History

This remarkable UK documentary, exclusive to Sky HISTORY follows the latest investigation on land and underwater, revealing how experts have pieced together the story of this incredible conflict, which predates any battlefield discovery yet made.
