Think it must be fictional? Of course it is.
BBC scriptwriters must think that hacking off somebody's head is what 'radicals' do. Therefore there is no reason why radical Christians shouldn't use the Mohamed mandated punishment.
Was beheading a usual punishment during the Crusades? I'm really not sure. But disemboweling, quartering, cooking people alive in boiling oil and other such 'radical' methods was certainly common.
Watch out for next believable BBC drama, where extremist radical French revive the guillotine.
