Episodes
Episode 1
Ardal's journey begins on Rathlin Island in the far north, famous for its countless seabirds and, unique to the island, the golden hare. Ardal learns how an astonishing archaeological find has rewritten Irish history, and he tastes some noodles made from kelp, sustainably farmed on the island.
From Rathlin, Ardal travels to remote Tory Island off the County Donegal coast, where he learns of its musical tradition and its mystical past, and sees how farming practices are being fashioned to encourage the endangered corncrake.
From Tory, Ardal heads to Arranmore, the largest island in the north. He learns how the islanders are encouraging new residents.
Episode 2
From mighty, windswept cliffs to lush, sub-tropical gardens, the islands off the west coast of Ireland are extraordinary in their diversity. On the Aran Islands, Ardal learns from a practising monk of their ancient Christian heritage while, all around, a remarkable range of flora blooms, encouraged by traditional farming methods.
Continuing south, Ardal visits the abandoned Great Blasket Island, former home to Irish author Peig Sayers, now home to a thriving seal colony and two young caretakers. On nearby Valentia Island, Ardal is shown fossilised evidence of early life emerging from the sea, while in the surrounding waters, oyster conservationists are hard at work.
On land, Ireland's only vermouth producers forage for ingredients. The episode ends with a visit to spectacular Skellig Michael, a UNESCO world heritage site that's home to numerous puffins and the world's most dramatic ancient monastery.
Episode 3
Ardal is in the south of Ireland, where he discovers beautiful Garnish Island, home to gorgeous, lush gardens and the rare white-tailed eagle. By kayak, Ardal sees its thriving seal colony, before heading south to Sherkin Island, where he's at sea once more, being introduced to a playful pod of dolphins. A local historian tells us of the island's pirate past, and a resident artist reveals its current status as a painters' paradise.
A short hop takes Ardal to Cape Clear, Ireland's southernmost island, where he's taken on a tour in one of the island's electric buses. He's introduced to some remarkable standing stones and a gin distillery that uses foraged kelp. The island's resident ornithologist explains the huge importance of the island for migratory birds. A climactic clifftop view, out across the Atlantic, marks the end to a revealing and unforgettable journey.

Unknown Serial Killers of America
Each year the FBI estimates between 25 to 50 active serial killers hunt their prey in America, taking the lives of hundreds of innocent people annually. Often these killings keep a city on edge, a heavy fear permeating the night air before these predators are taken off our streets. Just ask those who lived through the terror of The Night Stalker, Son of Sam or The Grim Sleeper. And years later the public still can't seem to get enough of their stories which continue to be retold in documentaries and limited series. Yet for every Jeffrey Dahmer or Ted Bundy who became part of the zeitgeist and remains with us like a dark specter, there are hundreds of other unknown serial killers whose horrific actions were just as terrifying, if not worse. This new series will profile these unknown serial killers who operated in silence. Their murders haunted law enforcement, who were unable to connect all their sick dots, as more innocent lives were lost until the killers were eventually caught.
