Beyond The Bullets – Real Life During The Civil War

8PM, RTÉ ONE ★★★★ This fascinating documentary series moves ahead to the period from January to June 1922. These months were pivotal historically and politically, but what were they actually like to live through? Archive data, text accounts and every source available to RTÉ’s historians combines to paint a richly detailed picture. The dramatic reconstructions (right) are particularly worthwhile — and the period music adds an extra dimension to this informative series .
