Once Upon a Time in Northern Ireland
BBC2, 9pm
A fudged compromise that has somehow managed to last 25 years, the Good Friday Agreement ushered in a peace without apparent consequence for those who’d done the killings. With no truth and reconciliation process, the atrocities of three decades were papered over, and justice was not an option for many of those worst affected by the Troubles. But they have their stories, and in this new five-part documentary we hear the personal accounts of people from all sides who are still dealing with the legacy of violence today. The series will include contributions from a man whose mother was kidnapped by the IRA, a man from a loyalist estate whose family secret challenged his core beliefs, and a woman who planted firebombs. Our story begins in the late 1960s, when the civil rights marches by protesters angry at conditions for Catholics in a Protestant-dominated state quickly led to retribution and violence. And this week we hear from James, a working-class Protestant teenager who feared that the civil rights marches might lead to a united Ireland, and a poor young Catholic man who made hay in the disorder and became known as the best rioter in Derry. Then there’s the former British Army man, deployed to Belfast at just 19 years old with absolutely no idea what was going on. He would soon find out.

Selling Sunset
Netflix, streaming now
Luxe real estate and major drama. That said, we’re largely here for one reason — Chelsea Lazkani. Joining the Selling Sunset cast last season, British-Nigerian Lazkani brought some much-needed fresh air alongside a no-BS attitude. Returning for season six, she’ll totter around the Hollywood Hills viewing the ‘boujeeist’ abodes alongside the rest of LA’s top female real estate brokers at The Oppenheim Group. Melding property porn, impossible body standards, and a gaggle of young professionals who’ll do anything for that commission, these ladies work the market while trying to keep their personal lives intact. This season, new agents mean (more) drama. Expect sleek penthouse listings, personality clashes, and pregnancies, plus enough shade to cover every cabana on Sunset Strip. There’s only one thing that outweighs lust for property, and that’s a seemingly insatiable desire for panto.
