I distinctively remember usual preview/promo clip aired before the 9'0clock news (first time i released the impact in the north - was only 10ish) I remember it was a clip of gay byrne gagged and tied to a chair in the dark with a spot light over him, and out appeared a beardy man (obviously not the real G.A.) some smart remark was made, then cue the news. Ambush is not an appropriate word for this interview when you consider the great reception Ian Paisley use to get when he came down to RTE studios (his daughter have a show in the late 80's)

In particular, I love this clip from 11 November 1920 of two local IRA men forced to hold the Union Jack and march through Waterford by the Auxies after they had torn it down. It was done as a propaganda exercise by the British for showing in British cinemas during the war. Watch at the back of the Auxies there is a tall Black and Tan walking behind them with a pistol in his hand and a big smile:http://www.waterfordcountymuseum.org/exhibit/web/Display/article/118/ You have to click 'download the video footage". I'm sure you'll find much more on that site.
