RTS National Event

In conversation with Peter Kosminsky

Peter Kosminsky’s eagerly awaited new drama series The State premiers in August on Channel 4. The show, by the award winning creator of BBC’s Wolf Hall, follows four young Britons who decide to join ISIS in Raqqa, Syria. A fictionalised story based on extensive research, it explores a journey which for some, ends in despair and for others in an ever greater commitment to the Caliphate.

The Great History Debate

How times have changed.

Now presenters travel across the globe to bring back stories, sometimes reflecting the dress and even the food of the era. And the long running classic documentaries with archive and voiceover, have largely given way to a rich explosion of formats from lavish reconstructions and living history to compelling personal journeys.
