    Why isn't this on the iplayer? All programs funded by rte should be accessible through the rate player

    Easily one of the TV highlights of 2015, even if it was cutting it close! How RTE aren't giving the lads the go ahead to make whatever they want is madness. Everything they touch turns to gold!

    Wow, I think this is the first time I've ever seen an RTE comedy production receive unanimous praise on a thread here and no one has mentioned the license fee yet :eek:

    I had gone off the rubberbandits previously but this was hilarious. There's not much on rte player I'd watch but this was great.

    Surprisingly good with some very astute and clever observations. You could nearly show that to school kids it's that educational. That said still can't get Brian Boru holding Cromwell in a headlock or the thoughts of Devalera's speed mickey out of my head.

    I thought it was great but they did repeat that nonsense about DeValera getting off because he was born in America. The truth is he wasn't important enough.

    I was very surprised, I thought it wasn't going to be half as good as it was. Very much liked the digs they gave when reading out the constitution!

    I thought it was very funny. But it's limited. It's just the lads d!cking around.

    While I know it's not a documentary, it presents a very dubious account of Irish history. Unlike the poster above, I'd be horrified if children were encouraged watch it! It skimmed over De Velera's misogyny (he was the only commander not to allow women to fight in his battalion), ignores the morality of a small group of men (one of whom was Scottish, one of whom was a fanatic and paedophile) unilaterally "claiming the allegiance" of the Irish people and perpetuates the old myth that the Brits were meanies for executing the leaders for actions that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of civilians and the complete destruction of parts of Dublin, at a time when tens of thousands of Irishmen were fighting in France. Again, not a documentary, but it can't be excused of presenting the simistic narrative of that period that somehow still survives.

    The D in Michael D Higgins doesn't stand for dancing either.

    Ok I'll bite as I've never heard this before... who was (allegedly) a kiddy fiddler?

    It's accepted in almost all quarters that Pearse was a latent paedophile.
