Hostage

on BBC Two England

A crime and its consequences - special debate introduced by David Dimbleby
A gunman holds three girls hostage in the Kreditbank, Stockholm, and poses the Swedish police with an appalling problem -how far dare they gamble with the lives of the girls?
A dramatic reconstruction of what really happened inside the bank vault in 1973 precedes a discussion between police, psychiatrists, diplomats, and men and women who have themselves been held hostage. At issue, which is more important -saving the lives of the innocent or upholding the rule of law?
