The BBC does not seem to be taking this matter seriously. No mention of institutionalised anti - Irish racism and potential genocide that killed at least one million people, practically wiped out an entire Gaelic speaking population and forced millions of Irish people to leave Ireland against their will to this day. I wont find it funny to watch a comedy associated with two people looking like skeletons in a humble abode with a couple of days to live. I wont be laughing when a tenant chops up his horses to feed his children. I wont be amused when an ordinary Irish woman is cooking potatoes for her sons and daughters, and then the food turns rotten that the family have nothing to eat. There will be no laughter from myself when people are eating grass. Finally, who will find it funny when a farm labourer is begging for food in a work house, is told to leave, and then has to open his jacket in order to dump a dead child on the counter? If incidents of this nature do not occur in this comedy, then it will be an utter distortion of the truth and the Irish Famine will be trivialised all over again in Britain. The people who are defending this programme could be snookered!
