TV Highlights

'Injustice' (ITV, Monday, 9pm) - 'Injustice' is a new psychological thriller from acclaimed 'Foyle's War' writer Anthony Horowitz. This event drama tackles the universal question which is at the heart of every country's legal system - how does a defence barrister live with himself if he discovers the client he is defending is guilty? William Travers is a criminal barrister who is recovering from a traumatic series of events that have shaken his belief in the legal system. On the surface, Travers is a picture of success: famous for defending the underdog, but underneath he is recovering from a nervous breakdown and the complete uprooting of his family and his work. Reluctantly, he is drawn into a case that involves an old friend who faces conspiracy and murder charges while at the same time being investigated by a vicious and vengeful detective. ____________________________________________________________ 'The Men Who Won't Start Marching' (BBC 2, Wednesday, 9pm) - More than 10 years after the end of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, filmmaker Alison Millar explores Belfast's Shankill Road to find out how well the scars of war have healed. For four months, she joins the men of the marching bands and, in particular, spends time with Jordan, an 11-year-old aspiring drummer from one of the former paramilitary families on the estate. What she finds is a mixture of entrenched prejudice, relief that the Troubles are over, nostalgia for the days of paramilitary discipline and a battened-down resistance to talking about the past. But when Jordan makes a shocking discovery at the end of his road, his father's brittle silence cracks and he decides to take his son on a journey into his own past and through the Maze Prison, which he had been inside for several years. ____________________________________________________________ 'Cumbria: One Year On' (ITV, Wednesday, 10.35pm) - On the eve of the first anniversary of what has become known as the West Cumbria Shootings, families of those killed, and survivors, describe how they've coped in the aftermath of the tragedy. On a fine summer's day last year, in just a few hours, local taxi driver Derrick Bird fired 29 shotgun cartridges and 80 .22 calibre rifle bullets. He left 12 people dead, 11 seriously injured and countless others in desperate grief and trauma before taking his own life. Leanne Jarman's fiancé, Jamie Clark, was shot dead in his car near Seascale that morning. She talks movingly about how their plans for marriage had been well advanced at the time of his death, the almost unbearable feeling of loss and her remarkable determination not to let the tragedy define her life. Innkeeper and survivor Harry Berger emotionally describes the moment he was shot by Derrick Bird and how he's now getting on with rebuilding his life. The film offers a thoughtful insight on how very ordinary people have tried to make sense of and cope with an extraordinary and devastating event. ____________________________________________________________ 'The Walking Dead' (RTE 2, Monday, 9.55pm) - The second episode in this very promising new series follows Sheriff Rick Grimes waking up in an empty hospital after weeks in a coma to find himself utterly alone. The world as he knows it is gone, ravaged by a zombie epidemic. 'The Walking Dead' tells the story of the weeks and months that follow after the apocalypse. Based on Robert Kirkman's hugely successful and popular comic series, the series is fairly billed as 'an epic, edge-of-your-seat drama where personal struggles are magnified against a backdrop of moment-to-moment survival'. With a survivalist story at its core, the series explores how the living are changed by the overwhelming realisation that those who survive can be far more dangerous than the mindless walkers roaming the earth. ____________________________________________________________ Movie Of The Week: 'Sex And Lies In Sin City' (RTE 1, Wednesday, 1.20am) - The owner of the world-famous Horseshoe Casino, Ted Binion, was one of the most powerful men in Sin City - otherwise known as Las Vegas. But sin got the best of Ted when he fell for scorching stripper Sandy Murphy. Caught up in a web of drugs and deception, noted heroin user Binion suffers a suspicious overdose that is quickly classified as a homicide. Matthew Modine and Mena Suvari co-star in this little-known tale of an Irishman who made it big, only to fall for the age-old story.
