    Johnny Adair: Mad Dog of the Shankill

    Johnny 'Mad Dog' Adair played a significant role in the Troubles in Northern Ireland. He commanded the UDA's C Company and through his leadership they enacted a fierce campaign of violence against Republican paramilitaries and the Nationalist population as a whole. For the first time in the Troubles, loyalists were out-killing republicans and much of this was down to the actions of C Company. But Adair wanted more power and ended up taking the fight to fellow loyalists, as he ousted the UVF from the Shankill. But this move would see the full weight of the UDA come down upon him, and would lead to his expulsion from Northern Ireland. This is the story of Johnny Adair. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Brendan 'The Dark' Hughes

    When it comes to the history of the Provisional IRA, there are many divisive figures within the paramilitary group.  Some were beloved who then fell out of favour, either by leaning too far towards peace, or refusing to give up the violence.  Few are as beloved as Brendan Hughes His story is also rather unique, in the years before he died, Hughes was extremely candid about his time in the Provisional IRA. He contributed to the Boston College Tapes between 2001 and 2006, providing an insight into his time in the IRA that was revealed after his death in 2008. What was revealed had significant repercussions for people still alive today, and especially Gerry Adams.  Brendan was a unique person, and through these interviews we have been given an extremely rare insight into his life behind the veil of being a paramilitary.  This is the story of the troubles, told entirely from the perspective of The Dark, Brendan Hughes, Learn more about your ad choices.

Chris worked at Northern Bank in Belfast, which was the largest retail bank in Northern Ireland, which distributed cash to its 95 branches, and hundreds of ATMS in Northern Ireland. It was one of four banks in Northern Ireland which had the capacity to print its own banknotes. The men made it clear to Chris that they were here because of the bank he worked in, and if he and his family cooperated they would be fine. If they didn't they would be killed. What transpired that night ended up being the largest cash robbery in British and Irish history. This is the story of the Northern Bank Robbery. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Interview with Alan Black - The Sole Survivor of the Kingsmill Massacre

    This episode is being released on the 50-year anniversary of the Kingsmill Massacre; an attack which saw members of the provisional IRA march 11 Protestant factory workers off a bus, line them up and execute them. All were killed, except for Alan and this week he tells us what life is like after such a life-altering event. We talked about a lot of things, and honed in on that English accent heard on the night of the killing and how Alan does not believe that was Captain Robert Nairac but instead the clues point toward ex-paratrooper turned IRA paramilitary, Paddy O' Kane.
