After meeting Olsen in San Francisco, Vivienne agrees to travel with him to his home near the quiet town of Elk Flats, where they start a life together. The Civil War separates them, leaving Vivienne to fend for herself in a place controlled by powerful rancher Alfred Jeffries (Dillahunt) and his violent, wayward son Weston (McLeod), aided and abetted by corrupt Mayor Rudolph Schiller (Huston). Olsen’s eventual return challenges their relationship as they have to confront and make peace with the person each has become.

New documentary: ‘The Chronicles of Armagh’

A new season of the Northern Ireland Chronicles series, titled The Chronicles Of Armagh, will be broadcast on BBC Northern Ireland. This season will be dedicated to Armagh, Colin’s hometown. The new series will begin with the spring episode and will be broadcast on February 19 at 8pm BST on BBC Northern Ireland and will also be available on BBC iPlayer.

Co Armagh comes under spotlight in new documentary series

THE IRISH NEWS – Armagh has been the ecclesiastical capital of all Ireland since the fifth century, when Saint Patrick founded his church there. But there’s much more to the county that faith, GAA and apple trees.

A new BBC documentary series, The Chronicles Of Armagh, follows a year in the surrounding villages of the ancient city, where people’s lives are rooted in nature and the seasons that shape it.

Filmed over 12 months and narrated by Armagh-born actor Colin Morgan, best known for playing the title character in the fantasy drama Merlin, each episode looks at one season.

The first programme begins with spring and sees Armagh Observatory Estates Officer Shane Kelly collecting data from the climate recorders and astronomer Dr Rok Nežič observing the Spring Equinox.

Viewers will meet all creatures great and small at Forthill Farm near Tandragee, where Kenny Gracey and animal trainer Karen Christie start the tricky process of training Cooley the rare breed bull for a movie role.

On the outskirts of the city, where Ian and Paula Conroy’s flower farm and forest are springing to life, we learn the emotional inspiration behind their garden venture, following the tragic passing of their young son.

At Jane and John Nicholson’s Crannagael House, the birthplace of the Bramley apple in Orchard County, spring means a sea of pink apple blossom.

Nearby, Gosford Forest Park is also awakening. Wildlife ranger Donald Whiteside and deer manager Neville Black are keeping an eye on stags shedding their antlers – nature’s sign that the females are close to calving.

During the series cameras will also take viewers to 20-year-old Emer Rafferty’s community garden in the heart of Ballymacnab and a hedgehog rescue centre in Loughgall.

At Navan Fort, a team of archaeologists start a two week dig in search of more clues from an ancient Kingdom and in the autumn cameras capture the fiery spectacle at the Celtic Festival of Samhain.

iewers will hear some inspiring stories from Armagh natives, including mum of five Rosie Tennyson who is training for a triathlon, something which she is determined to compete in, despite having had her leg amputated a few years ago.

“Revealing hidden gems and incredible untold human tales in an area of natural beauty is a key theme of the Chronicles series. The fantastic and diverse characters that we chose to follow in the series do this, and we hope their passion for the landscape around them will once again delight local audiences,” comments Veronica Cunningham, Series Producer and Director, Waddell Media who made the series for BBC Northern Ireland.’’

The Chronicles Of Armagh begins on BBC One Northern Ireland on Monday February 19 at 8pm. The entire series will be available on the BBC iPlayer.
