Kat I didn't know if you have seen the full show and I did not want to spoil it on you. Yes there were some liberties taken, and when it was being advertised in N.I. it was hyped as more fact than fiction. This was given credence with,I think,the authors past connections to SF or the IRA. I'm not casting aspersions here just trying to set the scene as such. This was why unionists gave off about the programme and at the time many saw it as propaganda. Issues raised such as no,British/unionist, show commissioned to put the other side across. Also people were pee'd off with the thought of their licence fee being used for such biased show's. Did not bother me in that respect, I thought it was a good show that's all. But the issues it raised are worth discussing and as you say, as long as we can keep it civil and focussed.
