Sky Documentaries has announced a slew of new commissions including an interview with Mark David Chapman, the man who murdered John Lennon in 1980.

John Lennon – 'Let Me Take You Down' explores the life of the music legend and how Chapman came to become fatally obsessed with him.

The 90-minute documentary, which will see Chapman interviewed by his long-time journalist confidant Jack Jones, will be released to coincide with the 40th anniversary of Lennon's death on December 8.

Micah Richards - Tackling Racism will see the former Manchester City right-back investigate the alarming rise of racism in the modern game, while The Law Man will pay tribute to Manchester United icon Denis Law.

The final new commission is The Wimbledon Kidnapping, a documentary telling the story of the UK's first ever kidnap and ransom case in 1969.
