    Does anyone know where I can get a copy or even watch this RTE/Frontier Films drama infused, mockumentary?

    It was released in 2006 and was very popular at the time.
    It had 3 parts and the story was based around a nuclear fallout at Sellafield, and the effect it cause on Ireland.

    It was a brilliant watch, so hopefully someone will remember it.

    P.S. I have contacted Frontier Films but no reply as of yet

    I remember it. Sadly I don't have a recording but it is definitely a highpoint in RTE's output, and that's not saying much but this stuck out by miles in terms of quality. I'd put it up there with Bachelors Walk and Paths To Freedom in terms of must watch RTE series.

    I contacted RTE a while ago about it but they said that there was no way of accessing it.
    I remember video-taping (!!) the second part of it, God knows where it is- somewhere at home.
    It was brilliant, there are a few clips on YouTube but I'd love to see it in full again!

    It was a docudrama rather than a mockumentary though. Directed by David Caffrey who went on to direct Love/Hate.

    They have it - they're just not letting him have a copy of it!

    I'd say Frontier Films would be your best bet - try ringing them if you don't get a response by email.
