Surviving Syria’s Prisons, 11.00pm, BBC Two
They made thousands disappear. Now, the men who carried it out break their silence.
In December 2024, the world witnessed the dramatic toppling of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, ending a 13-year civil war.
But beneath the celebrations is a grim legacy - over 100,000 Syrians disappeared. Their fate was hidden in prisons, mass graves and secret documents.
This film goes inside one of the most brutal campaigns of state repression in modern history - told by those who endured it and those who enforced it.
Over two years, the film-makers secured rare access to more than 40 former regime operatives - from intelligence officers to the prison guards who oversaw torture and execution.
Their confessions, never heard before, are intertwined with the powerful story of two brothers who survived Syria's notorious prison network.

Storyville: Wedding Night, 10.00pm, BBC Four
This latest Storyville strand offers a portrait of ultra-orthodox Jewish couples, who speak bravely about their feelings during matchmaking, the engagement period, the wedding ceremony, their first night alone together and the morning after.
In the ultra-orthodox Jewish community, boys and girls are raised almost entirely separately.
While young men are educated not to look at or think about women, young women are taught to dress, think and behave with modesty.
Marriages are arranged, and when the time comes to marry, young couples will have had little, if any, interaction with one another.
On their wedding night, despite this being their first time alone together, the expectation is that they will consummate their marriage.
The forbidden becomes permitted, the impure pure, and modesty turns into full exposure.
