³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Northern Ireland: Tall Ships
When the Tall Ships last visited Northern Ireland
in 1991, there was no peace process, no Agreement and no paramilitary ceasefires.
The crews who disembarked in Belfast's docklands were warmly welcomed by
a community desperate for peace and on the cusp of change.
On August 14th the Tall Ships event returns to Belfast and ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Northern Ireland will have all hands on deck to bring regional viewers live coverage from Queen's Quay.
Following the television special, digital viewers in all regions can press the red button to see how ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Northern Ireland reported the visit at the time and then celebrate Belfast's most famous ship, the Titanic, in a documentary charting Mike McKimm's undersea voyage to the wreck of the doomed liner.

The National Lottery: Guesstimation
This summer Nick Knowles invites digital viewers
to deploy their skill and judgement to outguess his studio contestants.
Over three exciting rounds two family teams will face a series of unusual,
fun and occasionally head-spinning brain teasers. Their mission is simple:
guess closest to the correct answer. Meanwhile Red Button viewers get the
chance to weigh-up their own on-screen options. Will your guesses earn YOU
living room bragging rights? It's just a question of judgement.
The National Lottery: Guesstimation showcases the Dream Number draw which
raises funds for many of the venues that will be hosting events at the London
