Real Lives Reunited

Nearly 30 years after he was rescued from the sea on the north coast, Richard Shortland is reunited with the strangers to whom he owes his life. And student rebellion 1970s-style, through the eyes of the photographer who captured it all.

In 1999 documentary maker Jeremy Higham joined a group of Belfast charity workers on a mercy mission to a Moldovan children's home. The horror and neglect of what he filmed touched the lives of so many when the programme was broadcast. Nearly 20 years on, they return to find out what happened to those children.

In 1982, Northern Ireland's football team made it to the finals of the World Cup in Spain and, against the odds, caused a huge upset when they beat the host team. But little is remembered of their other winning success that year - the song they'd record to mark the historic moment. For one last time, players and singing sensation from the time Dana reunite to recall the time when Yer Man Hit the Ball and Northern Ireland had it all!

In 2011 a routine flight between Belfast and Cork ended in disaster when six of those on board lost their lives. The quick-thinking actions of the rescue teams on the ground meant others survived. And six years on, they are reunited and get a chance to say thank you to the people to whom they owe their lives.

In the 1950s a group of school children from Londonderry toured America coast-to-coast for three months performing concerts. They sang alongside Elvis Presley and played to a sold-out Carnegie Hall. More than 60 years on, they reunite for one last performance.
