Rise of the Pagans
Vikings actors Clive Standen and Maude Hirst travel to Scandinavia to explore the pagan beliefs & warrior culture of the Vikings - and dispel myths about their violent society.
Rise of the Pagans explores Viking culture and the differences between the Vikings and their European contemporaries – starting with their pagan beliefs. Beginning in the 6th century, a major event nearly wiped out the population of Scandinavia. Rising from the ashes of this near extinction, with their pagan religion as a compass, a warrior society emerged. From their axes and arrowheads to their boathouses and great halls – world-renowned experts hunt for clues amongst the ancient ruins and grave sites across Scandinavia to paint a clearer picture of the rich Viking society.

Have I Got News for You
Based on the week's news, Have I Got News for You is fronted by guest hosts and features two regular team captains, Paul Merton and Ian Hislop. Each week the show invites two guests to cast a jaundiced eye over the week's news, resulting in a fast flow of anarchic, spontaneous and hugely entertaining wit and humour. Guests typically represent the world of politics, comedy, show-business and journalism, and are often themselves particularly newsworthy participants. The final touches of Have I Got News for You are put together only hours before recording, allowing guests to comment on the late-breaking news stories of the day.
