Greenlit: Ireland with Simon Reeve, BBC2

Ireland with Simon Reeve (2 x 60′) – Follows Simon Reeve as he travels around the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland – one of the most beautiful islands in the world: a place steeped in culture, history and belief, but one with a complex and troubled past. The series will look at how centuries of religion, history and politics have shaped life there and still affect people today.

Across the series Simon will uncover a place of myths and spirituality, alongside a modern state still attempting to work out its identity and values: a multicultural place where communities no longer just define themselves along Protestant and Catholic lines.

Following in the style of Simon’s previous documentaries for BBC Religion & Ethics (Pilgrimage With Simon Reeve; Sacred Rivers) the programme takes the viewer on a journey, with light and shade in its tone and choice of stories.
