9pm, BBC Two
Bafta-winning writer Robert Jones brings this feature-length adaptation of the real-life story of soldier Brian Wood, who was awarded the Military Cross for his role in the Battle of Danny Boy in Iraq in 2004 but who was then falsely accused of abuse upon his return during the al-Sweady inquiry into mistreatment of Iraqi prisoners in 2009. Toby Jones stars as the since disgraced human rights lawyer Phil Shiner, who confronts Wood (Anthony Boyle) in the courtroom, debating the ethical line between war and unlawful killing.
