This is a two-part documentary charting the life and career of football legend Paul Gascoigne, whose on-field brilliance has been rivalled by a troubled private life.

The first episode looks back to Paul's early years, when the exciting young talent from Newcastle found fame and fortune as he made his way in the world of professional football.
But the intense media attention and constant scrutiny proved difficult for the genial Geordie to deal with, and his mental health suffered.

Don’t say we weren’t warned about Putin. I wouldn't even trust him if he was behind me in a queue for the cinema.
Here’s an insight into the 2008 armed conflict between Russia and Georgia over the South Ossetia region.
The countries' respective presidents at the time, Dmitry Medvedev and Mikheil Saakashvili, recall the intense behind-the-scenes negotiations that led up to the war, and French President Nicolas Sarkozy's efforts to broker a ceasefire.
