Culloden

on BBC Two England

Tonight's second programme marking the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Culloden is a 31-year-old drama-documentary hailed as a masterpiece when it was previously shown on BBCtv.
Directed and produced by Peter Watkins, it re-creates one of the bloodiest engagements ever fought on British soil, stripping away many of the romantic myths surrounding Bonnie Prince Charlie and his Jacobite army. Descendants of those who fought in the battle are featured in the reconstruction, which also looks at how the conflict has shaped modern Britain. See today's choices.
