Badge of the United Irishmen
Why? Because tonight (the 16th) a new TV series, Story of Ireland, began.
Presented by Fergal Keane, it’s a five-parter and tonight’s episode raced from the earliest beginnings to the eve of the Norman invasion. It’s on BBC2 at 1900 in England, Northern Ireland and Wales, and at 2320 in Scotland.
