I'm just so glad I didn't see this programme. (I'd kind of like to have seen the bit where Irish Gaelic pastoralism was represented by a cattle mart, though, so I tell a lie.) As an English person living in Ireland, I have plenty of opportunity to get cross about ahistorical Irish republicanism, but it is salutary to be reminded that the BBC can still cheerfully say something like 'to send loyal citizens from his other two realms to live in Ireland.'
