RTE 1: Urban Tales (fuer die, die schon hier sind)

[Midori]

Fuer alle, die die Erstaustrahlung im Maerz verpasst haben...

sehr gute "insights" in die irische Geschichte:

Forget the high Kings of Ireland and ancient battles, there's more history under our concrete city streets than you could even imagine. From the statue with the Da Vinci code link to the bizarre plan to move Cork city centre; from Kilkenny's forgotten coal miners to Dublin's transport problems - Rob Vance travels Ireland's cities in search of some excellent, quirky and very human historical yarns.

In this, the penultimate programme in the current series of Urban Tales Rob becomes totally immersed in character, and transforms into a Georgian gentleman in Dublin for a day. He dons a wig and make up, and spends his day eating and drinking as a gentleman of Georgian times would have done.

Rob also explores the secret tunnels under the walled city of Derry. He speaks to local historians, who tell us the history of the city's many tunnels and the roles they played in the siege of Derry and the Battle of Windmill Hill during the 17th century.

We also look into the mysterious life and death of Waterford's boy soldier, John Condon, who is believed to be the youngest Allied casualty of the First World War, and meet his nephew who tells us of his families surprise at his involvement in the war.

Sehr spannend und unterhaltsam! Sonntags um 19.30, RTE 1.

Stimmt! Neben "hidden history" und "reeling in the years" mit das Beste was RTE zu bieten hat.

...und East Enders, Fair City, Ros na Run und natuerlich Dr. Phil

[Midori]

Immernoch besser als BBC 3 und 4, mit Sendungen wie "F*ck off, I'm a hairy fairy" und "F*ck off I'm small/ginger/a smurf/stupid", oder "My small/large/blue/overrated breasts and me (sic)".

Dann doch lieber irische Geschichte (obwohl, manchmal kann es ja ganz lustig sein, mit genuegend Rotwein im Kopf )
