Based on Magpie Murders by Anthony Horowitz.
PREMIERE – season 1, episodes 1 & 2 (2x45’)
UNITED-KINGDOM (VOSTFR)
Synopsis
Based on the best-selling novel by Anthony Horowitz, Magpie Murders is about Alan Conway, the famous writer behind the hit “golden age” mysteries: the Atticus Pünd adventures. Much to everyone’s horror, Alan mysteriously dies before delivering the final chapter of his latest book.
His tough and tenacious editor, Susan Ryeland, unwittingly finds herself cast in the role of an “investigator” as she tries to track down the last chapter of Magpie Murders while trying to work out who killed her most successful author. The answer, she soon discovers, is buried somewhere in the novel he has written.
Fiction and reality collide in this sophisticated television series which covers what may seem like familiar territory in a completely new way, quite unlike anything that has been seen before.
Access restricted to people over 16 years old.

Based on Ben Macintyre’s best-selling book of the same name, Rogue Heroes is a dramatised account of how the world’s greatest Special Forces unit, the SAS, was formed under extraordinary circumstances in the darkest days of World War Two.
Cairo, 1941. David Stirling – an eccentric young officer, hospitalised after a training exercise went wrong – is bored. Convinced that traditional commando units don’t work, he creates a radical plan that flies in the face of all accepted rules of modern warfare. He fights for permission to recruit the toughest, boldest and brightest soldiers for a small undercover unit that will create mayhem behind enemy lines.
More rebels than soldiers, Stirling’s team are every bit as complicated, flawed and reckless as they are astonishingly brave and heroic.

Screening 14H30
Based on The Confessions of Frannie Langton : A Novel by Sara Collins
PREMIERE – season 1, episodes 1 & 2 (2x50’)
UNITED-KINGDOM (VOSTFR)
Synopsis
Set against the dazzling opulence of Georgian London, The Confessions of Frannie Langton, narrates Frannie’s journey from a Jamaican plantation to the grand Mayfair mansion of celebrated scientist George Benham and his exquisitely beautiful wife, Madame Marguerite Benham.
In a misguided and monstrous gesture Frannie is gifted to Benham by the man who owns her, John Langton, and she is employed as a maid in the household much to her chagrin.
As the plot twists and turns, events take a fateful turn as the Benhams are found murdered in their beds, with Frannie lying next to Marguerite. Frannie is accused of murder; a murder she has no recollection of, other than she couldn’t possibly have killed her mistress because she was devoted to her. Dragged away to prison, Frannie attempts to piece together the events of that night. She is deep into a laudanum addiction and unable to recall what happened.
Will Frannie recall the haunting events of that night? All she knows is she loved Marguerite passionately and cannot believe she would have hurt her. But if not Frannie, who did commit the double murder? Others have motive, but only Frannie is accused and she will hang if found guilty. What hope does she have of clearing her name?
