Important TV series in both Ireland and the UK

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.
