Salamander: Blood Diamonds
9pm, BBC Four
It’s five years since hangdog cop Paul Gerardi got involved in a case that centred on a shadowy secret society with contacts in the highest echelons of Belgian society. Still, that’s all in the past, isn’t it? Perhaps not. Called to investigate the murder of a refugee, Gerardi makes a disquieting discovery. Further flavouring the brew, the new case involves the illegal jewel trade, an African civil war and a link to Gerardi’s nearest and dearest. Stylish conspiracy-thriller hokum. Jonathan Wright

The Getty family’s story is characterised by great riches and great tragedy. As explored in this documentary, it also encompasses one hell of an art collection, increasingly made available to the public via John Paul Getty’s contention that art was a civilising influence on society. Ali Catterall

TV Film
