[Steve Coogan as ‘Sinn Féin deputy leader Rory O’Connor’ in BBC’s The Day Today]

It’s 20 years since the Broadcasting Ban was lifted in the North allowing Sinn Féin members to be heard on the airwaves.

During a break in the filming of Cold Comes the Night last year, Bryan Cranston organised a writing contest among the film’s production assistants, promising to read every script submitted and then star in his favourite one.

The winner was the script for this accomplished 14-minute short by very excited former PA Brandon Polanco.
