Say Nothing is a nine -part drama based on a book by Patrick Radden Keefe of the same title.

It tells the stories of several people living in Northern Ireland during the Troubles .

Jean McConville was among those "disappeared" by the IRA during the conflict.

Her son has said the programme is "another telling of [my mother's story] that I and my family have to endure".

The IRA admitted in 1999 that it murdered nine of the Disappeared and buried them at secret locations.

Jean McConville's body was finally found on Shelling Hill Beach in County Louth in 2003 .

It was several years later , in 2003 , that she had died from a bullet wound to the head.
