Definitely the shady dude in the middle
A once-off documentary which takes a forensic approach to examining the murder of Jesus of Nazareth in the city of Jerusalem.
The incident is said to have taken place on the evening of April 15. Evidence from the 24-hour period - which includes the Last Supper, the arrest of Jesus, his interrogation, trial, torture and his crucifixion - is fraught with contradictions.
The documentary explores what could be called the greatest crime scene of all time. It peers into the minds and motives of the main suspects and attempts to solve the mystery.
