This is a pretty interesting American TV documentary from The History Channel. The camera work is at times very irritating (more hip hop music video than history documentary) but there are some great bits across the videos. A look at the River Poddle underneath the city is particularly interesting. Almost four miles of an underground Dubliners will, for the most part, never see. Saint Michan’s Church features too, with “lifelong Northsider” Pat Liddy on hand to show the presenter around. It’s difficult to disagree with the presenters assertion that Saint Michan’s is an excellent argument for cremation! All in all, a very good effort.
All three parts are below. Thanks to YouTuber dubbigot for taking the time to boot these up. I always say it, but if you have gems like these get them up!

Apologies for the following off-topic.
I only discovered today that Michael Yeates, cobbler, had been evicted from his premises in Clontarf at the end of last year.

Fantastic find. In a similar vein from RTE’s Urban Tales (2007):

I’ll say it again. Great site, lads.
Great to see Michael Corcoran, whose book on Dublin water is a magnificent production. Thanks to the City Council.
I have almost regained my composure after laughing my head off at the archiseek thread on all those secret nuclear tunnels around Government buildings. I’ve been in all of them that exists and am highly amused at those that don’t.
