Sirius: An Apocalyptic Order
10pm, BBC Four
This documentary is like watching a horror movie brought to life. It speaks to people who investigated the Order of the Solar Temple – an apocalyptic cult in which, during the 1990s, 74 of its members died – starting with macabre footage of what they found when they investigated seemingly unrelated fatal house fires in Canada and Switzerland. Former members also give their disturbing accounts. Hollie Richardson
