Old but Authentic!

It's old, it's dated in terms of production but hell, they interview people who were actually there! Watching the IRA soldier recalling the day his squad ambushed Collins at the actual site is amazing. Amazing footage!

Important TV series in both Ireland and the UK
lamsherlck12 December 2018
This was an important TV series in the middle of the 'troubles', as it was a fair and factual series explaining to the UK public the history behind the Northern Ireland situation at the time. As it was factual and balanced, it was also able to end some unchallenged myths of Irish nationalism. The key was the integrity of the presenter, who was direct and sincere.
