Looking for love is tough at the best of times: it’s even harder when your pool of potential partners is small. Welcome to the dilemma of being young, single and religious. This is dating as it’s rarely been seen on TV before: with religion in play there are a whole new set of rules, and it can be seriously tough to find the perfect fit.

In Strictly Soulmates we get a fun, entertaining and emotional window into the dating worlds we rarely get to glimpse at. Over the next month we follow young religious singletons from four religions: Hindu, Muslim, Evangelical Christian and Jewish on their quest for love.

Liquid Bomb Plot

Anyone who travels by plane is well aware of the ban on drinks bottles in hand luggage but few know about the ingenious terror plot which caused it.

In 2006, a group of young British men from Walthamstow, planned to blow up multiple US airliners, simultaneously in mid-flight, with explosives disguised as soft drinks. If successful, it would have been the worst terror attack since 9/11. But unbeknown to the terrorists, as they were plotting their attacks – MI5 and the police were watching.

Over that summer, the British authorities faced a nerve-shredding race against time: trying to amass enough evidence to make arrests before the terrorists could launch their devastating attacks. The investigation spread from the streets of East London to the Al-Qaeda training camps in Pakistan and became the source of much behind-the-scenes friction between the US and UK authorities.

Liquid Bomb Plot is out now on National Geographic UK, and will be broadcast on Channel 4 soon.
