I'm not sure if it is appropriate to post this here but I think it is too good a programme to miss. It is not about the Border Regiment but, rather, a First World War soldier (and photographer) from Ulster named George Hackney.

It is currently available via BBC iPlayer here:

I would very much recommend watching it.

I'm mentioning it here because (I believe) it was only shown in Northern Ireland.

Sounds interesting, thanks for pointing it out. I haven't heard of this but then I never really know what is broadcast as I don't seem to get round to watching much tv.

I will move this to the Television and Radio forum. Anything media related can be posted in one of the Media and Information forums.
