    Valerie Singleton did a great job on this. A far more impartial telling of the story than others I have seen before from the BBC and the likes. The music is the old recordings, that’s what happens to tape as it ages.

    This was a decent documentary. &nbsp;To the point and not too Oirish, despite the obligatory pint of Guinness. Never saw it back in the day.

    A great programme which I first saw when I was 9. I have the tie-in book which in more recent times inspired me to visit Kilmainham Jail, the National Museum of Ireland and Mulligan&apos;s Pub. I was in Mulligan&apos;s Pub on the day of the Scotland v Ireland Six Nations match in 2016, and mentioned to a few other Scotland supporters that the pub had once featured on Blue Peter. Very sad to learn that Bob Lynch committed suicide.
