Without Limits: Australia (BBC1, 8pm)

Following the critically acclaimed series Without Limits: Vietnam, and to mark the 2018 Invictus Games in Sydney, this two-part observatio­nal documentar­y sees a team of injured British and Australian veterans embark on an extraordin­ary 1,000-mile expedition across the Kimberley, the northernmo­st of Western Australia’s nine regions.

This 400-mile track is one of the Kimberley’s main attraction­s and will take the adventurer­s from Derby on the west coast to Kununurra (or Wyndham), through a spectacula­r landscape of intensely coloured ranges, dramatic gorges and lush rock pools and waterfalls.

However, he was jailed for life and told by a judge at Winchester Crown Court that he must serve at least 18 years. In this documentar­y, Fiona Bruce looks back at the case, analysing previously unseen police tapes and speaking to some of the people directly involved.
