Alongside the 2025 documentary, also showing the 1967 UTV drama ‘Boatman, Do Not Tarry’ - 59 years to the day since its original airing.
Shot on location at the Bannfoot ferry and featuring 26 Maghery men at the Lough Neagh Hotel (just metres away from the venue), ‘Boatman’ was a milestone for Ulster Television but has been unseen for decades.
With special guests sharing memories and archive films, we’ll discuss the legacy of the Bannfoot ferry and ‘Boatman’, and celebrate the loughshore’s unique place in local broadcasting history.
In association with South Lough Neagh Historical Society and Northern Ireland Screen’s Digital Film Archive.
