Jake Humphrey presents coverage of the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne, the opening race of the 2009 Formula 1 season.

Lewis Hamilton is the man to beat, the Briton having claimed his first world title last year after an incredible final race in Brazil. This year Hamilton's chief rivals are likely to again be Ferrari duo Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen, while old foe Fernando Alonso could also challenge after ending 2008 strongly with Renault.

Last year's race was won by Hamilton, the McLaren driver finishing five seconds ahead of Nick Heidfeld on the Melbourne street circuit. A repeat performance would be the perfect way to begin the defence of his title.

Jonathan Legard and Martin Brundle will provide the commentary as Formula 1 returns to the BBC for the first time since 1996.

The Satanic Verses Affair

07/03/2009

BBC Two - The Satanic Verses Affair

In-depth look at the controversy surrounding Salman Rushdie's novel The Satanic Verses.

Film documenting the events which followed the publication of Salman Rushdie's novel the Satanic Verses, and the ten year campaign to get the fatwa against the author lifted.

Twenty years ago, novelist Salman Rushdie was a wanted man with a million pound bounty on his head. His novel, The Satanic Verses, had sparked riots across the Muslim world. The ailing religious leader of Iran, the Ayatollah Khomeini, had invoked a little-known religious opinion - a fatwa - and effectively sentenced Rushdie to death. Never before had a novel created an international diplomatic crisis on such a scale, and never before had a foreign Government publicly called for the killing of a private citizen of another country. 

This film looks back on the extraordinary events which followed the publication of the book and the ten year campaign to get the fatwa lifted. Interviews with Rushdie's friends and family and testimony from leaders of Britain's Muslim community and the Government reveal the inside story of the affair. Rushdie himself was forced into hiding for nearly ten years. Arguably this was the moment when religious identities, in Britain and abroad, became more important than ethnic and cultural belonging.
