The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas (2008) BBC Two, 11.20pm; not Ni/scot ★★★

Based on John Boyne’s novel, this harrowing film tells the story of Bruno (Asa Butterfield), a German boy whose father (David Thewlis) is a senior Nazi officer. When they move next door to a concentration camp, Bruno befriends a Jewish boy (Jack Scanlon) over the fence. It’s a powerful tale, but its focus on the German side of the atrocity has been criticised by Holocaust charities.
