Maxine Peake and Lola Petticrew Star in Gripping IRA Drama 'Say Nothing'

Channel 4 airs the first episode of 'Say Nothing' tonight at 9pm, a brutal drama based on Patrick Radden Keefe's award-winning book. The series, previously shown on Disney+, follows IRA volunteer Dolours Price, with Maxine Peake playing the older Dolours and Lola Petticrew portraying her younger self.

The story begins with the abduction of Belfast mother of ten Jean McConville in 1972, as violence erupts and Dolours insists she won't get involved. The series promises a gripping exploration of the Troubles.

Other highlights include 'The Marvellous Miniature Workshop' on BBC One at 2pm, where Sara Cox presents experts creating miniature models of buildings, and 'Forever Chemicals' on BBC One at 8pm, investigating toxic PFAS chemicals.
