This week’s of contemporary British history on TV demonstrates what is wrong with the genre – too much romanticised nostalgia and too little questioning and probing of our collective past. Only Panorama seems likely to deliver something serious if it can come with the goods on the British state collusion with loyalist paramilitaries during the Troubles. Unusually, Radio 4 is a complete washout this week. Details can be found on the TV and Radio page.
