Pilot
American PR consultant Liz Garvie is hired by Metropolitan chief constable Miller to help the police improve its image. At the same time documentary film maker Matt Coward is shadowing Territorial Support group officers Davina, Robbie and Clarkey at a not very well organized Kurdish protest where Robbie has to be reminded to tone down the abuse because he is on camera. Elsewhere officer Warwick accidentally apprehends an innocent woman whom he wrongly suspected was a drug addict. Liz's introductory speech is interrupted by news that a sniper is randomly shooting victims around the city, her disgruntled assistant Finn, annoyed at being passed over for promotion, almost wrecking her press conference. The sniper turns out to be an embittered divorcee and the Territorial Support group defy Miller's orders by locating and him and forming a stake-out, Warwick taking out the man - who is actually unarmed.
Episode 1 • Nov 12, 2014
Cravenwood
Liz primes Miller for his committee speech whilst trying to pacify Warwick since the film of his shooting an unarmed man is posted on the Internet and he fears reprisals. There is a problem at Craven Wood young offender unit where the security firm Securamax has failed to curb what its director calls a disturbance since it would be penalized were it a riot. But a riot it is and the territorial support team is called in, still being shadowed by Matt, keen to turn his material into a film based on the team's personal problems. Miller is shocked to see that assistant commissioner Inglis is actually on the Securamax pay-roll and confronts him before appearing before the committee where deputy mayor Delgado accuses him of opposing private security firms being involved in police work. Liz supports him, quoting the Craven Wood incident, but he is still not happy.
Episode 2 • Nov 19, 2014
Maze Hill
Eager to justify Commissioner Miller?s (James Nesbitt) faith in her, Liz (Brit Marling) presents her vision for Metwork: the force?s very own digital news channel that will rival established outlets and tell it like it is, for better or worse. It could be a game-changer but to Finn (Bertie Carvel) Metwork is a vanity project and he is determined to kill it. His opportunity comes on the eve of the Mayor?s Conference on Policing. With another clash with Deputy Mayor Grant Delgado (Ralph Brown) on the cards, a youth arrested for possession of drugs turns out to be Delgado?s son. Finn leaks the news to trump Liz?s big idea and ruin Delgado in the process. An indignant Liz (Brit Marling) helps Delgado save face unaware that she has rescued Miller?s most powerful enemy. Warwick?s psychological state reaches crisis point after the high-risk pursuit of a gang of armed robbers and firearms trainee Robbie (Adam Deacon) realises he must sharpen up if he is to make the cut?.
Episode 3 • Nov 26, 2014
Thameside Centre
It?s Robbie?s (Adam Deacon) first day on the ARV unit and with Warwick (Nick Blood) clearly not fit for duty he discovers how far Banjo (Andrew Brooke) and Tony (Stuart Martin) will bend the rules to help their brother in arms. Liz (Brit Marling) faces a backlash when the police play down a bomb threat at a conference centre but news goes viral and threatens to cause widespread panic. Deputy Commissioner Charles Inglis (Paterson Joseph) finds that nobody is above the law when his arrest over a minor offence heaps further pressure on Richard Miller (James Nesbitt). And as Liz accompanies Miller to diffuse media tension at the bomb scene he confides in her that a journalist has a story ready to run that is infinitely more explosive for the force and its chief?
Episode 4 • Dec 03, 2014
Victoria Park
More shocking detail emerges around Commissioner Miller?s death and Liz (Brit Marling) is incriminated over the nature of her relationship with him. Finn (Bertie Carvel) concentrates his efforts on positioning himself as Acting Commissioner Inglis? (Paterson Joseph) consigliere and sidelining Liz in her own department. While police on the streets can only speculate about the extraordinary events higher up the food chain, the fugitive bomber is located and Assistant Commissioner Sharon Franklin (Nicola Walker) is despatched to take the reins on the scene of a house-to-house search. As Banjo?s (Andrew Brooke) suspicions mount over Davina?s affair his agitation starts to affect work. When the ARV team is called to attend a nightclub after reports of a gun, the incident takes a disastrous turn as a black youth is fatally wounded?
Episode 5 • Dec 10, 2014
Hackney Wick
Whilst his colleagues go mad at a paint-ball day Robbie broods over the forthcoming enquiry into the night club shooting and, following Miller's funeral, Inglis declares his attention to apply to be his replacement. Liz prefers Sharon, getting her to spearhead the - ultimately unsuccessful - case of a missing toddler and backing her campaign whilst attempting to discredit Inglis by exposing back-handers. The enquiry goes badly, exposing the other officers' attempts to cover for Warwick's fragile mental state and throwing doubt on their account of the shooting. Robbie foolishly confides in Matt Coward, who is planning a hatchet job on Robbie and the unit in his forthcoming film whilst Banjo finds further evidence of Davina's affair with Clarkey.
Episode 6 • Dec 17, 2014
London
Sharon goes head to head with Charles in a bid to secure the Commissioners position whilst simultaneously trying to put down civil unrest across all of London, but the AFO's wont pick up their guns.

Do It with Your Brain

Do It with Your Brain

Based in a multi-national school in the Caribbean the film takes us through 3 separate tales of how teenagers confront and overcome their fears, with a little help from fairies, forest guardians and goddesses, amongst others. The Good Goddess explains how her sister the Bad Goddess has almost filled up a magic well with children's tears. If the well overflows it would trigger a time where she could rule over the world with her evil magic. By transporting the children to the magic well and introducing them to pirates, guardians of the forest and demons they realize the root of their problems and vow to stop crying, saving the world from the Bad Goddess. It tackles the 3 most universal teen angst problems of anorexia, bullying and lack of confidence. The story culminates with a big birthday party for the students where they are joined by fantasy characters singing the theme song.

Thirsty Blackwaters Karaoke Showdown

Thirsty Blackwaters Karaoke Showdown

A disgruntled psychologist, his karaoke-hosting secretary and their most screwed-up patient (who believes he's a demon) set out to destroy a small town using the tools of mind control available on the Internet and a cultish karaoke night. Each one, with their minds set on different goals, create disarray and confusion while the town dances and sings their way into oblivion with the help of some pretty great tunes. This is playwright, musician, and actor Chris Churchill's first absurd leap into the world of extremely low-budget film making. An extremely talented Chicago ensemble, including some of the best in Chicago comedy and some expert musicianship by Churchill and two members of the Irish rock band 'The Tossers' makes this film a unique comedic treat.
