Gardian Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I remember some years ago (probably in the 80's) a series on this subject that was broadcast. It was quite lengthy I think: maybe 6-8 hour-long programmes.Can anyone point me to a link on it - perhaps it can be bought on DVD? I've looked on the BBC Pubs website, but no joy.

Clarkkent Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Can't help you with the tv programmes.A year or two ago a novel called The Secret Scripture was published. It is by Sebastian Barry. This is set in Ireland at about the same period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loiseau Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 There seems to have been one earlier this year, Gardian. Here. But probably not what you had in mind.Angela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooperlola Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Not period-specific, but I do remember Robert Kee's History of Ireland programmes based upon his books (which I still have - superb stuff.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
