Across India & Pakistan
9pm, BBC2
In this new series, Adnan Sarwar
and Babita Sharma travel the
length of the India-Pakistan border
to meet the people who live
along this buff er zone, still hotly
contended 70 years after partition.
We begin in Adipur, once a camp
for Hindu refugees forced to fl ee
for their lives from the new Muslim
state of Pakistan. Today it is, of all
things, a haven for Charlie Chaplin
imitators. We also get a taste of
the metropolis of Karachi. DS
EasyJet: Inside the Cockpit
9pm, ITV
Our appetite for air travel knows
no limits, but there hasn’t been
a parallel surge in the number of
Brits training to be pilots. Cue this
brand-building doc, following the
budget airline’s drive to recruit
more joystick-wagglers, women
especially. Rookies are observed
learning in classrooms, practising
in simulators and, fi nally,
controlling a live aircraft full of
passengers for the fi rst time.
There’s a business-class narrator,
at least: Stephen Fry. JSStoryville: Out of Thin Air – Murder
in Iceland 10pm, BBC4
In the mid-1970s, Iceland was a
close-knit country in key respects.
Crime was rare, so when two men
vanished in 1974 and foul play
was suspected, there was huge
pressure on the authorities. What
followed, as this doc recounts,
was a shocking miscarriage of
justice as six suspects were
arrested and confessed to
murder. The fi rst-hand testimony
of Erla Bolladóttir, held in solitary
confi nement for 135 days, is
especially harrowing. JWChannel 4 Channel 5 BBC4
