A BBC Four programme looking at the early Irish Missionaries and the impact they had on the rest of Britain - interesting stuff - dates and times and iPlayer details here
Provocative two-part documentary in which Dan Snow blows the lid on the traditional Anglo-centric view of history and reveals how the Irish saved Britain from cultural oblivion during the Dark Ages. He follows in the footsteps of Ireland's earliest missionaries as they venture through treacherous barbarian territory to bring literacy and technology to the future nations of Scotland and England.
