In 1967, Israel was threatened by the armies of Egypt, Syria and Jordan, which had gathered to annihilate the state. Six days later, the war was over. It was seen as a decisive victory for Israel, but beneath the celebrations were stories of the real battles that have remained secret until now.

Jesus: Countdown to Calvary offers a revolutionary new telling of "the greatest story ever told" - the story of an itinerant Jewish healer and preacher, who went from hero to victim in a single week, 2000 years ago, and ended up dead on a cross. Hugh Bonneville sets out to discover why that one execution had such seismic, lasting and global impact, for better and for worse.
