My street is one of the only ones in Dublin where NTL can't be arsed to lay the cables for digital - I think the average age on this estate is probably too high for them to make it a priority.

How much coverage of the British/Irish giants was there? Cornwall, Scotland and Ireland seem to have a (nearly) common giant mythology, one that is certainly interlinked anyway. Did TC Lethbridge get a mention? Probably not.

I have a soft spot for giants, so I'm a bit miffed that I can't watch it. However, I may get digital in about a year and it will still probably be running on one Discovery channel or another so maybe I will get to see it.

...One of my mates is descended from the tallest ever Irish Man - a chap called Cotter, who lived here in Bristol for a while and made a living painting ceilings ....

the real problem with cable is the truthfully most of it is hellish...............this programme stood out like a beacon......................threw out the usual suspects (Von Daniken etc) but it was interesting in ta few ideas of how Monoliths and larger came to be.....................Dont worry aboput not having cablew you are saving a fortune and with the web and sites like this knowledge can be found.......

This is quite an interesting place to explore
