It was good , despite repeating the 70% art bit and Ireland being the last inhabited part of Europe ,just swap the r for a c .(considering some the earliest settlers came from Ireland and not having much of an economy Iceland gets sidelined again ) .
Don't buy the McCafferty comet/climate change = religion/monument change etc theory though .

The vast majority of it was terrible. I do envy the resources they put into it, though. Quite lavish in places.

Loads of bollocks quotes like "Geraldine has discovered the roots of Irish passage tomb art." and they show Gavrinis! No shit sherlock! That's a real revelation and new to science. Not.

Some very respectable people on the program, backed by an iritating narator trying to sound like Orson Wells.
