The Foodie follows Kim as she meets up with dedicated artisan producers and chefs creating culinary magic. The series considers how new trends in food production and an increasing interest in how we eat are influencing every aspect of the place where we live - putting pride back on our plates, enhancing the economy and making Northern Ireland a top destination for committed foodies from around the globe. In the third programme in the six-part series Kim is in Belfast, a city now widely considered to be one of the top UK food destinations. Whilst there she meets up with the chef generally considered to have started our local restaurant revolution, Paul Rankin, and chats over the cream of today’s crop with Belfast Telegraph critic Joris Minne. Also on the menu is the decadent first class dinner served on board Titanic and being faithfully recreated in Rayanne House, a young chef Eddie Attwell who turns foraged food into fine dining, and a Belfast food tour that searches out the finest ‘Fifteen’ ever tasted. CC _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ MONDAY 25 MAY TELEVISION & RADIO HIGHLIGHTS / BBC WEEK 21 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Michael Smiley: Something To Ride Home About NEW Starts on Monday 25 May BBC One Northern Ireland, 10.40pm Michael Smiley is back on his bike and in the saddle to meet the people and visit the places who share his liking for biking. It’s 50 percent comedy show. It’s 50 percent travel and talk show. But it’s a 100 percent bespoke cycle show. The Holywood man, star of TV, comedy, film and stand up, left home for the bright lights of London more than 30 years ago. But his first love is cycling and he’s back for a second series of Michael Smiley: Something to Ride Home About, starting on Monday, May 25 on BBC One Northern Ireland at 10.40pm. Michael’s back with his trusty ‘bongo’ motorhome to help him chalk up the miles for a new three-part series. Once again he indulges his passion for cycling, peddling through some of Northern Ireland’s most stunning scenery. He’ll be meeting cycling legends, champions and a cycling dynasty as well as sharing humorous and poignant flashbacks connected to some of his old stomping grounds. In the first programme Michael meets a pedalling politician and puts Belfast’s new shared bike scheme to the Smiley test before stopping off at a new cycle start-up business that offers a personal touch to bike building. Leaving the city, it’s off down the Strangford coast to Killyleagh to meet award-winning artist Deepa Man-Kler whose work is inspired by cycling. Michael talks to Deepa about some of her most famous works and she has a surprise for him that means no one can say that Michael’s no oil painting anymore. Next, it’s time to rest the legs and put the bike in the back of the ‘bongo’ again for the trip to picturesque Castle Ward as it’s the chance for Smiley to challenge record-breaking time-trailer and writer, Michael Hutchinson. Presenter Michael Smiley said: “It’s a real pleasure to be able to share two things I love with viewers in this show. One, is coming back home. The second is cycling around this place and meeting some extraordinary and talented people who share my love of cycling. And what a year it’s been for cycling in Northern Ireland – the success of the Giro – I meet an ex-pro who was involved in its planning and we cycle up the stunning Antrim coast road. “And we’ve the new bike scheme in Belfast - the Lord Mayor lets me swap my bike chain for her Chain of Office when we’re testing it out. Not to mention I come within a whisker of beating a time-trail champion at his own game. Well, I’ll let you make your own mind up about how close I was. And of course, I’m back with the ‘bongo’ – I love cycling but I need a little help from my four-wheeled friend now and again – we even make a couple of excursions across the border. But author Dervla Murphy didn’t need any such help when she cycled from Ireland to India in 1963. What a story and a real highlight to meet this wonderful woman. So saddle up for the new series – it’s great to be back.” During the series, made for BBC Northern Ireland by independent production company, Green Inc, Michael takes viewers to one of Northern Ireland’s most photographed locations made famous on TV, and revisits his old school. He’ll be rounding off the series by sharing some comedy moments and historic facts in Cookstown with fellow comedian Kevin McAleer, taking part in a charity cycle from Strabane to Londonderry and putting his cycling prowess to the test by tackling a right-of-passage for cyclists - the fearsome Mamore Gap in Co Donegal - with a local legend. The new series of Michael Smiley: Something to Ride Home About starts on Monday, May 25 on BBC One Northern Ireland at 10.40pm.

  • Production Notes Tank 432 (Aka Belly of the Bulldog)
    PRODUCTION NOTES TANK 432 (AKA BELLY OF THE BULLDOG) LOG LINE: From Executive Producer Ben Wheatley (Director ­ Kill List, High Rise), comes this knife­edged thriller about a band of mercenary soldiers battling to escape a mysterious, unseen enemy. SYNOPSIS: On the run and with nowhere to hide, a group of mercenaries find themselves surrounded by an unidentified enemy. As gunfire hails down and their mysterious pursuers begin to close in, they must keep moving to find safe shelter. The only chance of survival is to hide inside an abandoned tank discovered by inexperienced soldier, Reeves (Rupert Evans ­ Hell Boy, The Boy, Man in the High Castle). Once holed up inside the tank, they quickly discover the hatch is jammed and there is no way out. As the mercenaries begin their desperate search for anything that may aid their escape, they fall upon a shocking discovery: confidential files on dowens of soldiers; all listed as missing in action. Within those listed, are their own names. As discoveries are made inside the tank and they struggle to keep the forces outside at bay, little do they realise the real enemy is already amongst them, locked inside Tank 432. ABOUT THE PRODUCTION: “We’ve captured some of the most explosive sequences I could ever of hoped for, and having Ben involved from script stage has really helped these elements come together,” said Writer­Director Nick Gillespie. “We really got our hands dirty filming this one, cutting the sides off real tanks, running people over with tanks, setting people’s heads on fire, and things like that.
