10pm, BBC Four Christoffer Guldbrandsen’s 2023 documentary has an even scarier resonance with its TV debut. He shadows Donald Trump’s “political godfather”, Roger Stone, from the 2016 Make America Great Again campaign to the fatal storming of the US Capitol. But this “was a mutual exploitation; a dynamic that rarely ends well”, and Stone soon shuts down the project – until one day, Guldbrandsen nearly dies after a cardiac arrest at 49, and Stone contacts him.

Vichy and the Nazis: A Deal With the Devil

This fascinating documentary explores the circumstances around the regime’s inception and examines its shameful role in the deportation of nearly 80,000 Jews to concentration camps. Phil Harrison
