Vigil Season 2 (20 November)
When a British Air Force weapons test goes disastrously wrong, DCI Amy Silva (Suranne Jones) is called
in to investigate. With seven military personnel dead, two from Britain’s allies in the Middle East, Amy
finds herself caught in the crosshairs of a fraught international incident. The Air Force think they have the
guilty party in custody and push for Amy and DI Kirsten Longacre (Rose Leslie) to close the case. But
Amy isn’t convinced.
The second season cast includes Romola Garai (Suffragette) and Dougray Scott (Sherlock & Daughter). Watch the trailer.
Liaison (23 November)
Starring César Award winner Vincent Cassel and BAFTA Award winner Eva Green, Liaison is a high-stakes, contemporary thriller exploring how the mistakes of the past have the potential to destroy the future, combining action with an unpredictable, multilayered plot where espionage and political intrigue play out against a story of passionate and enduring love.
The action hurtles from the Élysée Palace in Paris to the Home Office in London, and to Brussels’ European Quarter from the ravaged suburbs of Damascus to a refugee camp in Belgium, as one woman must uncover whether she can save her country from catastrophe without losing herself in the process.

What It Feels Like For A Girl (14 November)
It’s a new millennium – Madonna, Moloko and Basement Jaxx top the charts, and there’s a whole world
to explore. But teenager Byron (Ellis Howard) is stuck in a small working-class town that hasn’t been the
same since the coal mine shut in the 80s.
Sick of mam, sick of dad, sick of being beaten up for ‘talkin’
like a poof’. Sick of everyone shuffling about like the living dead, going on about kitchens they’re too
skint to do up and marriages they’re too scared to leave. Byron needs to get away and doesn’t care how.
