Holding

Channel: BritBox
TX Time: 00h01
Genre: Comedy-Drama, Mystery, Miniseries

Holding

Set in the insular fictional village of Duneen, West Cork, on the edge of Ireland, a place with its own climate and rhythms.

Holding introduces us to a surprising, quirky and shrewdly observed world told through its idiosyncratic, yet very real characters, who each have their own frailties, complexities, secrets and pasts.

It is also a compelling murder mystery, which unfolds with a distinctive and darkly comic tone and explores themes of grief, community, family, and various shades of love - from quietly passionate to taboo to unrequited.

Conleth Hill (Game of Thrones) plays the leading role of local police officer Sergeant PJ Collins, a gentle being who hides from people and fills his days with comfort food and half-hearted police work.

He is one of life's outsiders - lovable, but lonely and a bit rubbish at his job.

When the body of long-lost local legend Tommy Burke is discovered, PJ is called to solve a serious crime for the first time in his career, and he finally has to connect with the village he has tried hard to avoid.

In the series premiere: When human remains are found in a sleepy Irish village, Sergeant PJ Collins finally has a genuine crime to solve.

As the gruesome discovery ripples through the community, it threatens to expose a lifetime of secrets.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills 12

Returning for a season of exhilarating highs and shocking lows are housewives Kyle Richards, Lisa Rinna, Erika Jayne, Dorit Kemsley, Garcelle Beauvais, Sutton Stracke and Crystal Kung Minkoff.

New to the season, but well-established in the glittering 90210, are housewife Diana Jenkins and friend Sheree Zampino.

Resident socialite Kathy Hilton also returns as a friend.

Coming up this season:

The women attempt to balance their ever-evolving friendships with the demands of family life and growing business ventures, but a string of shocking events proves that living this large is more than meets the eye.

In true Beverly Hills fashion, however, nothing can keep these ladies away from a good time.

There is no shortage of laughs and libations, as they jet-set their way to luxury in Aspen and Punta Mita, Mexico.

After intruders break into Dorit Kemsley's home in a traumatic and life-changing attack, she begins working through the healing process with help from her friends.

All but one, that is, whose lack of sympathy leaves ripple effects amongst the group.

Sutton Stracke is finally settled into her dream home and ready to play hostess extraordinaire.

While she hopes that swiping right will lead to the perfect man, conflicts with the group make her want to swipe left on some of the ladies.

Erika Jayne is looking for a fresh start, despite ongoing legal pressures and rumours aplenty in the press following her divorce.

When her friends grow concerned that she has gone too far in her quest to move forward, tensions boil over.

Lisa Rinna's world is rocked as she loses a beloved member of her family.

Attempting to cope with her new normal, she struggles to keep her emotions in check and her friends are on the receiving end.

Reaping the rewards of her hard work, Garcelle Beauvais buys a beach house to enjoy with family and friends.

Still, she realises that long hours dedicated to her talk show and writing her memoir are taking a toll on her relationship with her teenage boys.

Having found her footing with the group, Crystal Kung Minkoff takes a more honest approach to expressing her feelings to the ladies.

Honesty might not always be the policy, however, and she quickly realises that the secrets she has held onto may cost her some hard-earned friendships.

Much like her friend Crystal, Diana Jenkins is a formidable match for anyone who attempts to cross her.

A Bosnian war refugee who married into an astonishing banking fortune, she is no stranger to Beverly Hills' most elite circles.

Following a traumatic miscarriage, Diana is focused on having another baby to complete her family.

Kyle Richards is thrilled at the promise of grandchildren when her oldest daughter finally gets engaged.

Just as everything seems to be falling into place, lingering family drama intrudes on her happiness.

On cloud nine following her daughter's lavish wedding, Kathy Hilton reconnects with the ladies.

This elation is short-lived, however, when simmering resentments with her sister surface.

One of Garcelle's best girlfriends and ex-wife to a prominent Hollywood actor, Sheree Zampino knows the inner workings of this larger-than-life town.

Never the wallflower and unafraid to speak her mind, she quickly forms strong opinions about her new friends.

In the Season 12 premiere, "The Break-In": After Dorit survives a harrowing robbery at home, Kyle brings the ladies together to rally around their friend.

While Sutton and Crystal finally see eye-to-eye, a very public diss leaves Lisa seeing red.

Erika is excited for a fresh start following a difficult year, but that does not stop Garcelle from asking tough questions.

Skateboarder Leo Baker shares the details of their rise to fame and the clash between their career and self-discovery as a trans person.

This is a raw and immersive feature film that follows competitive skateboarding icon Leo Baker in the lead up to the 2020 Olympics.

As he faces the sharpening stakes and intensifying disconnect between how the world sees him and who he knows himself to be, the pressure to keep on the course or be true to himself comes to a career and life-defining turning point.

Stay on Board is Leo's journey balancing the gendered world of sports, transition, society and skate culture, which ultimately leads him to the punkest thing imaginable.

S.W.A.T. 2

Inspired by the television series and feature film, this 2017 series stars Shemar Moore as a locally born S.W.A.T. sergeant newly tasked to run a specialised tactical unit that is the last stop in law enforcement in Los Angeles.

Torn between loyalty to the streets where he was raised and allegiance to his brothers in blue, former Marine Daniel "Hondo" Harrelson (Moore) has everything it takes to successfully bridge the divide between his two worlds.

With Hondo leading the charge, these dedicated men and women bravely put themselves at risk to protect their community and save lives.

In the Season 2 premiere, "Shaky Town": The SWAT team engages in a standoff with human traffickers holding child hostages when a major earthquake hits Los Angeles during their operation and compromises the takedown.

Also, while Hondo forms an unexpected personal connection with Deputy District Attorney Nia Wells, Jim Street has trouble adjusting to his new life as a patrol officer.

In the second episode of the weekly double bill, "Gasoline Drum": The SWAT team tries to find a woman and her son who are running from an international drug cartel.

Also, Hondo makes a distressing discovery about his incarcerated friend's son; Luca mulls over a government program.
