Hidden History on RTE one (1 Viewer)

William Martin Murphy Documentary. Loads of great archive footage of victorian and early 19th century dublin.

Apparantly the indo were total pricks back then too.

DAmn I forgot that was one...

We did a huge project on trade unions/the lockout/1913 back in school when I was 13 or so. Kinda amazing.

It's the best thing to come out of RTE in years. I'd love to get a DVD set of them all.
Even recruiting his great granddaughter and another couple of semi-sympathetic voices, it was impossible to present Murphy as anything other than a roaring prick.
I liked the brooding press shots of the young Larkin. He has star quality.

Was thinking the same thing. Some of these have been great. Loved that Catalpa rescue one.

Larkin was indeed one dashing motherfucker. Murphy had a tweedy ignorance about him alright.

I'd completely forgotten about the lock in. The scale of murphy's corporate hold on dublin during his prime must have been staggering. I dont think i'd ever seen live action footage of dublin from that far back either. I was mesmerised.

Yeah, and that was an episode I had no knowledge of. What a trick! It had adventure movie written all over it. Someone has to turn it into a film.

[avernus]

Yeah it was excellent. Really nicely shot too. Poor old WMM. Hated at every turn, and he never really understood why.

Just checked the RTE shop. No Hidden History DVD. Useless bastards.

 

[Gambra]

Well its still an ongoing series so any DVD's won't be out for a while yet.

Logic. Don't use logic. This reminds me I should look for DVDs of Coast from the BBC.

 

[broken arm]

[Gambra]

No one managed to get any of these taped to any new fangled HDD recorders or DVDr no?
