The Looming Tower
9pm, BBC Two
Writers Ali Selim and Dan Futterman deserve awards (as do the actors Jeff Daniels and Tahar Rahim) for this elegiac coda to what has been a consistently compelling 10-part adaptation of Lawrence Wright’s book of the same name. A gripping finale, intercut with real footage from 9/11, weaves the narrative threads together to reveal the echoing irony of how the events of that fateful day in 2001 could have been avoided had the CIA shared vital information about al-Qaida with the FBI. A gobsmacking indictment of US foreign policy. Mike Bradley
