Some of the most powerful images of the people of Northern Ireland come from thrillers and other TV serials - but are these images misleading? Are they a realistic portrayal of people's lives, and if not, does it really matter? Anna Ford chairs the discussion in Belfast between viewers and broadcasters. From Dublin, Kim Howells looks at the way viewers in the Irish Republic have reacted to the media ban on Sinn Fein and other organisations, which has been in operation there for over ten years.
