Steve Bannon, Divided We Fall
This episode is filled with rare interviews and new details on Steve Bannon's role in shaping and dividing the U.S. political system and the potential threat to American democracy. CNN's Senior Investigative Correspondent Drew Griffin explores Bannon's mission to defeat establishment Republicans in every part of the government – including those responsible for elections – with the help of far-right "MAGA" extremists who falsely believe Donald Trump was the winner of the 2020 election.
As the House Select Committee investigating the January 6th events focuses on members of former President Donald Trump's inner circle, Griffin focuses on Bannon's role leading up to the violence at the U.S. Capitol, promoting a strategy that would have let Trump illegally seize a second term. The special also dissects Bannon's current influence on Republican politics as being among the most influential thought leaders of the party and using his daily show as a campaign platform for candidates spreading the lie of stolen elections.
As we gear up to the 2022 midterm elections and the questions swirling around the 2024 race, Griffin shows how Bannon's power and influence have grown since he left the White House and his job as Chief Strategist.

Amandaland
Following three series of the Merman-produced, BAFTA award-winning series Motherland, a brand-new spin-off, Amandaland, is coming to the BBC, focused on Amanda.
Post her divorce, Amanda has had to downsize and up sticks to South Harlesden, or as the Estate Agent calls it SoHa (definitely not the area around Wormwood Scrubs prison).
With both Manus and Georgie now at secondary school, Amanda has to try and get her head around raising teenagers, dealing with modern motherhood horrors like teenage drinking, fake Instagram accounts and eco anxiety. Not even a woman as certain of her parenting as Amanda can deal with these nightmares alone.
Then there's Amanda's mother Felicity who is constantly around, and completely in denial that she is, in fact, lonely. Theirs is a slightly unhealthy co-dependent relationship based on backhanded compliments and veiled snipes about her new home.
After a brief spell of freedom, Anne is sucked back into being Amanda's minion to help her navigate the social scene with the other parents at the children's new school. Thank God for Anne.
