The bloodiest witch-hunt in British history is investigated this evening. The East Lothian witchcraze that began in the winter of 1589 led to the incarceration of 300 and the execution of many more. Based on original documents, the docudrama re-enacts events as if they were being covered by a film crew at the time. Contains violent scenes and strong language.

History: Witchcraze 9.00pm BBC2
In the two years from 1589 to 1591, hundreds of women in Edinburgh and East Lothian were slaughtered, in what was the bloodiest witch-hunt in British history. Any study of such barbarism is bound to be grim viewing, and the dramatic reconstruction of torture scenes - based on contemporary writings - is, inevitably, sickening. But this film is particularly arduous because it is shot reportage-style, as if by a documentary crew, while the narrator dispassionately describes events. Watch it only if you have a strong stomach.
