Plot
The first major attempt to tell the history of a country on television -- from its first beginnings to the present day. Since the late 1960s we have all grown used to the suffering and violence in Northern Ireland. But these are just the latest events in an old story that began 800 years ago when England first became involved with Ireland -- whose first inhabitants had arrived there 8.000 years before.
