It was aired on the BBC fairly recently and called - The House of Saud.

It was quite explicit in its detailing of the corruption involved in getting contracts is Saudi Arabia.

It also showed how Mohammed bin Salman had addressed the problem by rounding up members of the Royal family and other ruling elite and imprisioning them in a luxury hotel until they gave him millions of dollars.

The jury is out on whether this was a simple power-grab or a real move to bring the country into the 21st century.

Now he is in UK schmoozing Theresa........
