Tremendously good documentaries.  I encourage people to watch all five parts, beginning to end.  Excellent writing, thoughtful and deep presentation.

The pain haunts living rooms across Lancashire too.

Since childhood I have felt the iriishness of me, but I was born in north Yorkshire, and now I am an Australian Citizen.  My DNA says I am 97% Irish.  As I say I always knew it.  I am 80 and still study the History of the British Isles, day in,day out and have done so for ten-years .  As old as I am, I play my guitar and sing songs, mainly folk, rarely missing a day, my favourites being The Dubs and the Fureys...  But I have struggled to understand why so much hatred.  I have now finshed watching all 5 and have learned so much.  Fergal Keane.  THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.  Will Sullivan

You did a marvelous job with this complete series,  very concise, unbiased, and very informative to non Non Irish peoples...Thank You Sir ☘🕶👍

Thanks for uploading. Watched the whole series over a space of 2 weeks - thoroughly enjoyed it!

..I'm Spaniard and being 11 years living in England. I'm living now in Ireland and I considered myself as an Ireland's lover, I love everything about Ireland and when I've had researched about its history with documentaries as this one, it just make bigger & deeper my love for Ireland. I dropped a few tears watching the entire documentary. Many thanks and so pleased to watch it..

Fantastic! Thank you so much for uploading this!

Thank you in 2024 from an American whos Catholic Grandfather fought as a Volunteer and then came to Boston in 1925 for a new life.

Well done, Fergal.  That was a splendid documentary.

Even a Dutchman (like me) likes this documentary very much. Thanks for a nice insight in Irish history!

Good work Fergal much appreciate this documentary

High quality. Thank you.

Thanks for the upload, a very interesting series, from the Netherlands.

Well done Fergal, great well balanced Documentary, superb narration.

At 3:00 - 'An Irish catholic would never rise to the top of the RIC'. This overlooks Sir Joseph Aloysius Byrne, inspector-general from 1916 to 1920.

Freedom mean allowing others to choose their religion, their language, their identity.  Happy dynamics.

Great help to recap over my unit for my exam

James Connolly was from Edinburgh, not Glasgow (9.20)

It's a great documentary, there's no doubt but to not even mention the Magdalene Sisters, our deepest darkest hour, it really should've been included.

Spent a month in Ireland , South and North. Interesting, contradictory place. Have read Swift, Wilde, Yeats, Joyce, about history, music. But travelling around, talking to people was GRAND. Saludos desde México…
