|title=The Convictions of John Delahunt
|rating=4.5
|genre=Crime (Historical)
|summary=As John Delahunt sits in a cell for the condemned writing an account of his life, we go through it with him. It all begins as he witnesses a fracas between his fellow students and the police after a visit to one of the fine hostelries Victorian Dublin has to offer. In this way John's brought to the attention of 'The Department', a pro-British intelligence unit based in the notorious Dublin Castle. John agrees to help them not realising this is never going to be an agreement he can back away from, no matter how hard he tries and no matter how much it costs him.

|title=Where Are You Banana?
|summary=Oliver had expected more of a reaction the first time that he hit Alice, but she just lay on the floor holding her jaw. He was stunned that he could do this to his wife, but later that evening he returned and beat her so viciously that she lapsed into a coma. It was difficult to understand how this had happened - this was the man otherwise known as Vincent Dax, famous writer of children's books and he and Alice (she'd illustrated the books) had lived a life of ease and privilege. In the disbelieving aftermath Oliver tells the story of what had happened over the last five decades and how this had led to his becoming a monster.
