Pick of the Day

Once Upon a Time in Northern Ireland, 9.00pm, BBC Two

Should be interesting to see how well this series deals with various moments in the conflict.

It features stories of the Troubles from people on all sides of the conflict, beginning by looking at how the situation in Northern Ireland in the late-1960s deteriorated from a time of relative peace.

As the civil rights movement gained pace, demanding equal rights for Catholics, the Provisional IRA came to the fore, causing the British Army to be deployed.

With the situation compounded by tactical mistakes, soldiers quickly found themselves caught up in violent clashes - leading to 13 unarmed Catholics being shot dead by British paratroopers in Derry on what becomes known as Bloody Sunday.
