Northern Ireland’s buzzing film and TV scene has become one of our wee country’s most important exports.

Whether it’s a gritty crime drama, a side-splitting comedy or a moody dramatisation, the series that have been both created here or chose to film in NI have become some of the most critically acclaimed shows in recent TV history.
