Flight 149: Hostage Of War

Wednesday 11th June at 9pm on Sky Documentaries

Flight 149: Hostage of War recounts one of the most extraordinary - and until recently, officially denied - chapters of the Gulf War. On August 2, 1990, just after Saddam’s forces storm Kuwait, a civilian flight unwittingly touches down in the middle of the warzone. For over three decades, the British government denied any prior knowledge of the invasion before the plane's ill-fated landing. Now, new information has come to light to challenge the official narrative and the surviving hostages are taking the British government and BA to court to seek justice and the truth.

Polk: The Trial of Philip Polkinghorne

Sunday 15th June at 9pm on Sky Documentaries

Polk: The Trial of Philip Polkinghorne is a three-part documentary series that explores the case of a prominent New Zealand eye doctor accused of the murder of his wife. Was it suicide? Or did Dr. Polkinghorne stage Pauline Hanna’s death? In an exclusive, never before seen interview conducted while he was awaiting trial for murder, Dr. Philip Polkinghorne reveals his version of events for the very first time. Sexual deviance. Illicit drugs. Suspicious behaviour. Polk has an answer for it all.

The Equalizer Season 5

Last episode, Wednesday 11th June at 9pm on Sky Witness

Queen Latifah is back as Robyn McCall in season five of The Equalizer. McCall comes across to most as an average single mom who is quietly raising her teenage daughter. But to a trusted few, she is an anonymous guardian angel and defender of the downtrodden, dogged in her pursuit of personal redemption.
