    Once upon a time in northern ireland

    BBC I player.

    Absolutely brilliant story telling.

    Best thing BBC has done in years.

    Jdfc put me onto it.

    Well worth a watch.

    I can't find any bias in BBC documentary, they actually just tell the story from the people of NI perspective ....and no the usual suspects.

    Even I can't find any bias in the series....which to be fair I thought I would.

    Saw a part of one episode, some wummin saying she thought it was the right thing to do to kill innocent people to try to prove a point and that she'd do it again.

    Turned it off.

    They should never have got rid of the B Specials in Northern Ireland.
