Introduced in the first-season episode "The Man Who Knew Too Little", compulsive liar Ian MacDonald (Rino Romano) returns to make the lives of Fraser (Paul Gross) and Ray (David Marciano) miserable. This time out, Ian claims that extraterrestrials kidnapped his girlfriend Audrey (Amanda Tapping) just as he was about to propose to her. This turns out not to be the case--but even so, the story somehow ends up at Hangar 57 in Roswell (Roswell, Illinois, that is!) First broadcast on Canadian television, this episode made its US debut on February 23, 1996. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The title of this Canadian film drama is, need we say, ironic. Director Milad Bessada underlines the tragedy and futility of Ireland's civil war by heavily underlining the sameness between the two warring factions. This he does by casting Margot Kidder in a dual role. Ms. Kidder plays twin Catholic girls, one loyal to the "cause," the other in love with a British soldier. Though A Quiet Day in Belfast is not rated, the unrelenting hopelessness of the subject matter may prove too intense for very young children. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
