Lineup includes new material on Maxwell family and two David Attenborough-fronted series
Unseen footage of Ghislaine Maxwell’s father, Robert, filmed by staff on his boat just before his mysterious death, recordings of phones he bugged and a survivor of Jeffery Epstein’s crimes who has never spoken publicly before are to be revealed in a new BBC documentary – one of the highlights of the corporation’s biggest push of its factual shows for years.
Launching the exploration of the Maxwell dynasty along with a slew of other programmes coming up this year, including two David Attenborough-fronted series, Frozen Planet II and Last Day of the Dinosaurs, the BBC’s factual, arts and classical music director, Fiona Campbell, claimed that “no other broadcaster has such incredible breadth of factual content” from across the UK.
