    1916 Seachtar na Casca,

    You know there have been many documentaries done on the 1916 rising and the people involved, but the the ones shown on TG4 at the moment are excellent and give the most moving account of the sacrifices of ordinary people
    during that time.
    Oh by the way its a mix of english speaking actors and Irish narrative, so something
    for everyone, I guess.
    Well done TG4

    You can watch these in 3 parts on the TG4 website by the way

    What diverity does it show? English programmes in Irish and cheapo Irish versions of X-Factor etc. It does have some good stuff: The Wire, Curbs, a few documentaries. These are on other "foreign" channels now so negate it unless you live in the sticks.

    It had a show on it a while back I remember seeing about Ulster Scots (The language up North, can be seen on Waterways Ireland signs). It is the only time I've seen anything about the language/dialect up there, and in all honesty I'd have a lot more time for it having seen it.

    Fíorscéal shows stuff that isn't shown on other Irish or UK channels

    Blind date Irish style - the mother chooses the date :D

    RTE do travel programs which are sponsored holidays for the presenters and/or ads for the travel companies. TG4 do backpacker stuff where they meet real people and it isn't always rosy.


    The Revolution Will Not Be Televised

    I can't imagine RTE or TV3 showing things like Oz until long after they've been proved popular / the price has dropped

    And I missed the start of Unleashed :(
