The Six Million Dollar Man Season 2 €23.49 delivered

Includes infamous 'IRA' episode, 'Outrage In Balinderry' supposedly banned at the time.

reminds me of this

In his musings about what happened to the Starship Enterprise's chief medical officer, android Data says that Ireland would be reunified in 2024 as a result of a successful terrorist campaign.
Due to what no doubt many people will still consider to be sensitive content, the episode has never been shown on terrestrial TV in UK or in the Republic of Ireland and initial airings on Sky One were edited.

However, Sean Kelly, director of the Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival, hopes its screening will attract "die hard Trekkies, and people of every political persuasion and none".


"We're not showing it in a partisan way, and we certainly don't want it to be seen as any kind of propaganda. We're showing it because of the issues it raises in relation to censorship," he said.

"It dates from 1990, a time when songs, including one by the Pogues, were being banned and republican politicians' voices being dubbed by actors.


"It's hard to believe that but both the BBC and RTE refused to show it and it still hasn't been shown on terrestrial TV in the UK or Ireland."
