Eric Beaumont leads a team of negotiators who handle high-stakes kidnap and ransom cases worldwide. His charm and effectiveness make him hard to read. Eric's missions are complicated by the fact that private negotiation is illegal in many countries, putting him and his team in danger from both criminals and authorities.

Set up as a twenty-year prequel to Robert Louis Stevenson's classic book Treasure Island, Black Sails will follow the adventures of cutthroat corsair Captain Flint and his crew of brutal buccaneers, whose plundering ways have led them to the brink of extinction.

This series is a spin-off from the long running BBC medical drama "Casualty". Set in the same hospital as its sister series, this show follows the everyday lives, professional and personal, of the doctors, nurses and patients who find themselves, for various reasons, in the wards of Holby City General Hospital.
