I Was Born On One Born (25th April)

Since the programme’s launch in 2010, over 250 babies have been delivered on BAFTA-award winning series One Born Every Minute.

I Was Born on One Born catches up with six of those children, now at primary school, who have the rare opportunity to watch their censored One Born footage with their proud and emotional family.

Fascinating, funny and heart-warming, I Was Born On One Born features familiar One Born faces and their offspring, who will gain an understanding of the trials and tribulations of labour, and witness their first moments in the world.

 

Walter Presents…

Eyewitness (30th March)

With a standout performance by International Emmy Award winning Norwegian actress Anneke von der Lippe, the tense and addictive Nordic noir Eyewitness is a refreshing take on the crime genre that reverses the “whodunit” logic to offer an utterly compelling web of psychological and moral complexity.

Two teenaged boys, Philip and Henning, (played by newcomers Axel Gehrken Boyum and Odin Waage) share an unexpected intimacy at a remote sand quarry in the Norwegian countryside. When a secret meeting is interrupted by a brutal gang murder, the duo make a pact never to reveal what they’ve seen despite the spiralling repercussions.

Be prepared for a fast-paced thriller that will chill you to your core.

 

Walter Presents…

Mafiosa 4 & 5 (7th April)

The multi-award winning French crime saga set on the wild and enchanting island of Corsica returns to Walter Presents for a final, bloody reign of terror.

Violent, visceral and utterly compulsive, Mafiosa boasts a powerful and captivating performance by Hélène Fillières in the role of Sandra Paolie. The tension is palpable and her venom deadly as she seduces, threatens and manipulates her way through the treacherous waters of mob rule.

 

BOX SETS

Gap Year

Join in the eventful adventures of British lads Dylan (Anders Hayward) and Sean (BAFTA-nominated Ade Oyefeso), childhood friends who have drifted apart, and initially set out to backpack through China but end up taking on the whole continent of Asia, through ancient rainforests, full moon beach-parties, futuristic Asian mega-cities and remote monasteries in the foothills of the Himalayas.
