Taking Back Control
Since the birth of the state in 1921 to the fall of the Stormont administration in 1972, six men held the post of prime minister of Northern Ireland.
They were Sir James Craig, John Andrews, Sir Basil Brooke, Terence O'Neill, James Chichester-Clark and Brian Faulkner.
Who were these six, partly forgotten, and still divisive leaders? For most of the people of Northern Ireland, whatever their political choices, these are largely forgotten figures. And yet the actions of these men, and the decisions they made, shaped Northern Ireland for more than fifty years, and right to the present day.
Professor Alvin Jackson is a leading Irish historian and expert in the history of Northern Ireland. In this authored three-part series, he examines the key moments and critical decisions that defined these men's time in office.
In this episode Alvin Jackson explores how James Chichester-Clark reacted to the outbreak of civil disorder in August 1969, and the decisive events that brought about the fall of Brian Faulkner and the Stormont government in 1972.

Beyond the Gates is set in a leafy Maryland suburb just outside of Washington D.C., and in one the most affluent African American counties in the United States. Here you'll find a posh gated community with winding tree-lined streets and luxurious mansions to call home. At the center of this community are the Duprees, a powerful and prestigious multi-generational family that is the very definition of Black royalty. But behind these pristine walls and lush, manicured gardens are juicy secrets and scandals waiting to be uncovered. And those that live outside these gates are watching closely. These are the places where our characters live, love, work and play. Those who have "made it" and those who haven't are all trying to navigate life … and some with more grace than others.
