All 4 highlights for September 2017

1 September 2017

Our First Gay Summer: Mykonos

Meet Lewis (22), Ashley (18) and Curtis (21). They’re all gay, but haven’t always found it easy to be who they are. Coming out at young ages meant struggling not only with their own sexual identity but also the acceptance of friends, family and the world around them.

Now, they’re heading to a place where being gay is not just accepted, it is the norm. The Greek island of Mykonos has grown to be one of the world’s most gay-friendly destinations, offering a haven of restaurants, clubs, bars and beaches against a backdrop of the sunny Mediterranean.

We follow the three Brits as they live, work and party across an exhilarating summer of a lifetime in Europe’s gay capital. They’ll feel the freedom of fitting in for the first time, but will the experience change them forever?

 

 

Plastic and Proud

As cosmetic surgery becomes more and more the acceptable, meet the extreme plastic surgery addicts that love to go under the knife and follow them as they head for their latest procedure.

From rib removals to extreme bum enlargements, Britney lookalikes to changes in skin colour, the simple nip-and-tuck is a tame thing of the past for these proud plastic people.

What’s their motivation for their dramatic transformations? How do those closest to them feel about their decisions? Will they ever stop in the pursuit for plastic perfection?

Walter Presents

If you’re into foreign drama, look no further than Walter Presents. This month, to mark the launch of Chilean crime thriller Fugitives, Walter celebrates all things guns and explosions with a collection of four dramas...

 

Fugitives

Walter Present’s brand-new crime thriller which is one of South America’s hottest offering and the first Chilean show to be broadcast in the UK. Following four men whose lives are turned upside down when a drug deal goes drastically wrong, the fast-moving plot is simultaneously arresting and adrenaline-inducing.

 

No Limit

Faced with a potentially fatal brain tumour, Vincent Libérati abandons the glamour and globetrotting of a secret agent's life to return to his teenage daughter Lola and ex-wife Alexandra in Marseille. Blistering 80s style action and tongue-in-cheek adventure await as Luc Besson creates and produces a no-holds-barred spy thriller guaranteed to keep seat edges worried for months to come.

 

Nick’s Law

Set in Hamburg, Nick’s Law is a tense, action packed series with a compelling and conflicted lead at its heart. Moving his family to Hamburg, Schweiger is hoping for a fresh start when he takes up his new role at the State Criminal Investigation Department, but it doesn’t take long before his all-guns-blazing approach to law enforcement lands him in trouble with the District Attorney. While his work life plunges him deep into the world of violent crime, his home life is also escalating out of control as his marriage teeters at breaking point.

 

Elite Squad

Created by former policeman Olivier Marchal, the top creative behind international smash hit Braquo, Elite Squad is a visceral French crime thriller about two rival cops. Yach is forty-something, divorced, and hard as nails. He is all instinct, aggression, and unorthodox work methods. Constantine, his complete opposite, is a man destroyed by the death of his wife, a cerebral and thoughtful type who plays by the rules. They were once best friends. Now, they have a big score to settle.
