Episodes
Titanic and the Race for the Atlantic
This is the tale of how a city at the edge of Europe revolutionised maritime history, turning the White Star Line and the Titanic into two of the most famous names in history.
Ships at War
Just as Hartland and Wolff and the White Star Line won the race for the Atlantic, the sinking of the Titanic sent shock-waves around the world. It was the greatest maritime disaster in history, but even greater carnage was to follow the war. The shipyard was now hurled into an arms race to build the biggest warships the world had ever seen.
From the Sea to the Air
The second half of the 20th Century was the era of the supertanker, and Belfast was at the forefront of the industry once more. Supersizing the building dock that built the Titanic to accommodate this new breed of leviathan ships, the SS Canberra Belfast yet again produced the world's most innovative passenger liner. But this space-age looking ship would soon be caught up in the middle of a war - one she narrowly survived, and one from which she would return a hero.

Dept. Q
DCI Carl Morck is a brilliant cop but a terrible colleague. His razor-sharp sarcasm has made him no friends in Edinburgh police. After a shooting that leaves a young PC dead, and his partner paralysed, he finds himself exiled to the basement and the sole member of Department Q; a newly formed cold case unit. The department is a PR stunt, there to distract the public from the failures of an under-resourced, failing police force that is glad to see the back of him. But more by accident than design, Carl starts to build a gang of waifs and strays who have everything to prove. So, when the stone-cold trail of a prominent civil servant who disappeared several years ago starts to heat up, Carl is back doing what he does best - rattling cages and refusing to take no for an answer.
