£2 Million Passport: Welcome to Britain
Immigration to Britain is under the spotlight like never before and while many people trying to settle in the UK face personal risks and a hostile reception, this programme reveals an altogether different welcome if you happen to have £2 million to spare. Reporter Antony Barnett investigates the so-called 'golden' visa scheme that offers British residency to wealthy foreign nationals who are willing to invest £2 million into the country. Since the Skripal poisonings last year, concern has focused on the hundreds of Russians that have been given such visas, with critics claiming that the scheme is open to potential abuse. Dispatches discovers what's on offer for people with the money and the know-how who hope to buy themselves British citizenship.

Reacher
Reacher follows Jack Reacher, a veteran military police investigator who has just recently entered civilian life.

When Reacher arrives in the small town of Margrave, Georgia, he finds a community grappling with its first homicide in 20 years. The cops immediately arrest him and eyewitnesses claim to place Reacher at the scene of the crime. While he works to prove his innocence, a deep-seated conspiracy begins to emerge, one that will require Reacher's keen mind and hard-hitting fists to deal with. One thing above all is for sure: They picked the wrong guy to take the fall.
