Ben Jones is a tired, worn-out, depressed, fed-up, Welsh lawyer who lives in the shadow of his bigger, larger than life, over the top, promiscuous, TV celebrity brother Harry. Ben hankers after his lost love, the fiery red-headed Sinead, but in a fit of pique decides to accept the marriage proposal from his brow-beating, ball-bustin' girlfriend Ceri Sian. So Harry decides that he must do something 'good' for his brother. In fact he must bring him back to Ireland where the boys had a great time in their youth. This act of 'generosity', combined with a recce for a future television programme, begins a series of events that will change their lives forever but 'in a good way', where everyone gets a second chance, sort of.

Veteran BBC Radio DJ John Peel takes his first visit to Derry and discovers for himself the band that forged his favourite pop song 'Teenage Kicks'.<br /> <br /> The film, through the use of archive footage, including previously unseen material of Derry and The Undertones, takes us back to 1975. To a time when it would have been normal, even expected, for five Derry teenagers to get together and have a riot. The Undertones got together, formed a band and created their own form of riot, bursting into a vigorous and joyous celebration of their own existence. The band was made up of former choirboy and distinctively voiced lead singer Feargal Sharkey, the O'Neil brothers, John and Damian, played guitars. Michael Bradley joined in with bass and Billy Doherty beat the drums.<br /> <br /> Peel takes us on a journey of discovery in which he expresses his amazement at the band's innocence, the completely artless way in which they resisted all hype and packaging. The Undertones would play to packed houses of adoring fans and then go home to Derry, to parents who waited up for them. Reared in a town where the most abhorred social disgrace was to get above yourself, they refused to take it seriously.

The screenplay was inspired by a remark heard when filming Civil Rights activist Bernadette Devlin for the documentary 'Mother Ireland'. Devlin said that, although the wall pointed to 'Free Derry', she felt that behind the wall women were certainly not free. This is the story of some of those women. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Bogwoman is the tragicomic story of three women. The story is based on research from Derry women who lived through the '60s and it follows the lead character Maureen as she moves from the Bogs of Donegal to the Bogside of Derry. The film focuses on how this naive country woman forges a life in her new community to which she has come to guarantee a future for her young son and to meet and marry her future husband, Barry. The film utilises home movie and archive footage of the time and is an ambitious and innovative attempt to recreate the story of those who found themselves Bogwoman.
