Inside the Vatican
9pm BBC Two

With unprecedented access to the holy city state, this two-part documentary examines how Pope Francis is adapting age-old traditions to meet the needs of a rapidly modernising following. After last week’s run-up to a lavish Easter, this episode centres around the pope’s canny reforms, such as appointing cardinals from outside of traditional European centres of power. Yet it is the examination of the church’s ongoing investigation into sex abuse allegations that makes this an absorbing watch. Ammar Kalia
