We offer you our best bits of 2011, featuring Shappi Khorsandi, Misery Bear, Tim Key, President Obama (courtesy of Cassetteboy), our campaign against the funding of cluster bombs, and much more besides.

Apparently 54% of British people think capital punishment is a good idea. Romesh Ranganathan 'lays the smackdown' on 54% of the population - well, the 594 people from that survey. Plus a handy introduction to not getting punished for being a woman in Saudia Arabia, and why is Zarganar so angry?

In the aftermath of Catgate, Joe Wells explores some of the myths that surround the Human Rights Act and we are not making this up, learns a lesson from Theresa May MP. Plus in a world without an international Arms Trade Treaty we ask, is an AK-47 difficult to use? Turns out its childs play.

Apparently 65 per cent of people in the UK support the death penalty. Really? We want to know what you think. We join two Palestinian fishermen to see what happens when they try and go to work off the coast of Gaza and Shappi Khorsandi teaches us the text book way to stone someone to death in Iran. Plus, as ever, we have a roundup of the latest human rights news including Syrian protestors, Belgrade Pride, driving in Saudi Arabia and the sentences handed down to health workers in Bahrain.

Is giving the Taliban a second chance really the key to the good life for women in Afghanistan? We look at the perils of inviting one of the world's worst flatmates back in the door. Plus, an insight to everyday life by Israeli borders, Dr Philip Hodson looks at the psychology of dictators, and we reflect on Troy Davis, executed in Georgia, USA, this week despite international outcry.

Cassetteboy gets the Prime Minister of Israel to play the pipes of peace, Eric Lampaert explores some of the creative ways prisoners have kept writing behind bars and we meet the Palestinian womens football team as they try to qualify for the 2012 Olympics. Plus, Colonel Gaddafi makes a very special appearance. Can you spot him? Find out all about the show and more at www.amnestytv.co.uk

Comedian Joel Dommett tries out some of our factually accurate, but not very funny, human rights jokes that wont be making it into this set. Tim Key reads us a poem about how hard it can be for politicians to raise human rights issues on trips abroad. And we have a handy guide that no defiant dictator can afford to miss on how to write the perfect speech, as well as the latest human rights news. Find out all about the show and more at www.amnestytv.co.uk

In this special episode of Amnesty TV, film maker Chris Atkins blows the lid on UK Banks investment in cluster bombs. 98% of cluster bomb victims are civilians and 30% are children. Despite the UK being signed up to an international treaty banning cluster bombs, last year alone the Royal Bank of Scotland provided over $80million in funding to companies involved in their production. We want that to stop. Find out more at www.amnesty.org.uk/clusterbomb

Vanessa Redgrave, Misery Bear and Cassetteboy explore the dark and dangerous world of torture. Plus we've an update on the revolution sweeping across the Middle East and a bombshell on the world's four biggest arms dealers.
