Set in a post-Troubles Northern Ireland, The Truth Commissioner follows the fictional story of Henry Stanfield, played by Roger Allam, a career diplomat who has just been appointed as Truth Commissioner to Northern Ireland. Eager to make good as a peacemaker, the Prime Minister urges a commission following the South African model of Truth and Reconciliation. But, though Stanfield starts bravely, he quickly uncovers some bloody and inconvenient truths about those now running the country; truths which none of those in power are prepared to have revealed.

With their sights set on a £25,000 reward promoted by a local newspaper, American documentarians Georgia and Matt head to Exmoor in North Devon to film the fabled beast supposedly slinking through the remote terrain. Is the creature a leopard, a panther, a family pet crossbreed, an imaginary predator? Setting up a forest camp with an old acquaintance harbouring his own dark secrets, the trio fix 42 cameras to the trees and rocks, linked back to a computer nerve centre where nothing should go unnoticed as they take turns to night watch. But then they discover some putrefying body parts all neatly tied up… then some more. And before long they realise they are in the lair of a beast right enough, but certainly not one of the four-legged variety. For they have discovered a serial killer’s playground and are soon to become his most wanted prey.

'H3' is a universal story of endurance and courage set inside Europe's most secure prison, the Maze prison in Northern Ireland. Here, in H3 - the bleakest of all the H-blocks - a group of young republican prisoners hold out for what they believe in, refusing to be labeled as criminals or co-operate with prison authorities. However, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher is determined that these Republican prisoners will be treated like all the other common criminals in British jails, ending a special regime which allowed the inmates political status to organise life inside the jail along POW lines. The republican prisoners immediately start a 'no-wash' protest, refusing to wear prison-issue clothes or perform work duties, a protest which results in their being locked in their cells for hours on end without exercise, recreation, reading materials and with only blankets to wear for heat...

아일랜드의 아름다운 물개의 섬, 론 이니쉬에서 살고 있던 커넬리 가족이 섬을 버리고 도시로 이사를 한다. 그날, 갓 태어난 막내 아들 제이미가 요람에 탄 채 바다로 떠내려간다. 몇 해가 흘러, 시골의 할머니, 할아버지 곁으로 돌아온 제이미의 누나 피오나는 물개에 대한 전설을 듣는다. 옛날 그 섬에는 반은 물개, 반은 여자인 셀키가 살고 있었다. 셀키는 가끔 일광욕을 하기 위해 물개의 가죽을 벗고 여자로 돌아오는데, 그 가죽을 감추면 아름다운 셀키와 결혼을 할 수 있다. 피오나의 옛 조상 중 리암이라는 청년이 어느 날, 전설 속의 셀키를 발견하곤 그녀의 물개 가죽을 숨긴다. 물개 여인 눌라와 리암은 여러 명의 아이들을 낳고 행복하게 살아간다. 눌라는 바다를 잊지 못해 슬픈 눈으로 바닷가에 오래도록 앉아 있고는 했다. 어느 날 눌라의 딸이, 리암이 지붕 위에 숨겨둔 물개 가죽을 발견한다. 물개 가죽을 되찾은 셀키는 물개로 되돌아가 멀리 바다에서 아이들을 바라보며 사는데... 전설을 듣고 난 피오나는, 가족들이 섬을 버리고 떠나자 화가 난 물개들이 제이미를 데려간 것이라고 믿게 된다. 혼자 론이니쉬 섬을 들러본 피오나는 버려진 옛집에서 누군가 지낸 흔적을 발견한다. 하지만 아무도 그녀의 말을 믿지 않는다. 또 다시 몰래 론이니쉬 섬을 탐험하던 피오나는 마침내 어느 날 물개들과 놀고 있는 제이미를 발견한다. 폭풍이 몹시 불던 날, 피오나는 할머니에게 제이미의 얘기를 털어놓는다. 할머니는 즉시 할아버지와 피오나를 데리고 론이니쉬 섬으로 간다. 그러나 추위에 떨며 바닷가에 있던 제이미는 그들을 보자 바다로 도망치려 하는데...
