Dr. Kate Munro arrives on the remote Gannet Island to take up a medical practice, keen to introduce the marvels of modern medicine to an island untouched by the twentieth century. The islanders lead conservative lives, ruled by the ingrained tradition and doctrines of the Catholic Church. Kate is instantly swept off her feet by Vic Hanlon, a strapping young grazier whose family represents the island''s wealth, but she is continually in confrontation with the island's priest who represents the dogmatic reactionary forces she despises. Yet beneath the philosophical and ideological antagonism there is something stirring: they are irrevocably attracted to each other as man and woman. Their passionate liaison surfaces repressed emotions, enabling Michael to become compassionate and caring as a priest, and a man.

Inspired by true events, Stingers reveals the shadowy world and ambiguous lives of undercover cops - people with covert lives and constantly changing identities. Police who defeat crime from inside the criminal world - always without a badge and frequently without protection. The tension and suspense in Stingers depends not on the investigation but on the 'sting' - where the criminals are caight in the presumed safe haven of their own domain. Behind enemy lines and on their turf, lies, trickery and duplicity are all tools of the trade. Stingers rules are so far removed from the rest of the force that only a few can relate to what they do. They live, literally, on a deadly edge - submerged in a state of constant tension and betrayal.

A drama series about cooking, love and passion. It is about people who cook for a living, the culinary creations they are capable of and their relationships with the people and food they love. Temptation takes us into a world of two restaurants and the people who work in them. It's a Montague and Capulet tale of two warring dynasties whose divide is breached by clandestine love and, grudgingly, mutual admiration.
