4/4. How free are the Chinese people to worship as they please? In a look at how the authorities keep the lid on religion, it is revealed that followers of Tibetan Buddhism, long feared as a cover for Tibetan independence, can only worship on the Communist Party's strict terms, while Catholics are controlled by the Party, not the Vatican. Others resist constraints - like the 40 million members of China's Christian underground and the Falun Gong, who are banned and seen as a threat by the Chinese. The film also follows ordinary Chinese protesting about forced evictions, government cover-up of the Aids problem, corruption and land grabbing, going inside a labour camp where women are sent, without trial, for up to four years for drugs, sex or property offences - or for raising their grievances.

Documentary: China 9.00pm BBC2
This extraordinary series comes to a close tonight and it's been a revelation: the rambling narrative style may have tempted all but the most iron-willed viewers to channel-hop, but stick with it and you're rewarded with haunting vignettes of injustice and piercing insights into Chinese life. The story of an eight-year-old boy, injured by police while trying to defend his sick mother, leaps out tonight. As do the voices of residents in apartment blocks due for demolition by rich developers: their compensation, it seems, has been embezzled by officials. "There's no other country in the world like this," says one resident, raging on a pavement while bystanders giggle, and you can't help feeling he's right. (David Butcher)
