    Default The O'Neill - New Epic Series

    I'm really look forward to this. A series about Hugh O'Neill and The Nine Year Wars. One of the confirmed stars is Aiden Gillen who was in Game of Thrones and The Wire. Grace O'Malley will make an appearance as well.




    THE O'NEILL follows Ireland’s O’Neill dynasty, its most powerful Gaelic lordship, as in 1560 a nine year old Hugh O’Neill is taken from his native Ireland and groomed as an English Lord at the English Court where he forms a tight bond with the future Queen Elizabeth I, only 10 years his senior. Sent back to Ireland after he came of age to govern for the crown, he has to decide between becoming an English landlord or a Gaelic warlord. His decision would mark the greatest threat to England sovereignty until WWII. Aidan Gillen will play Sir Henry Bagnal, Marshall of Elizabeth I’s Royal Irish Army and O’Neill’s bitter arch enemy. Hugh O’Neill managed to unite the clans and start the Nine Years War becoming a sort of a rock star for the people of Europe of that time. Many of the clans in the series will have female leaders such as Ineen Dubh of the O’Donnells and Grace O’Malley, the Pirate Queen of The O’Malley,

    Yes it does. There was supposed to be a series about Brian Boru being made from the book The Lion of Ireland but that was promised a few years ago and nothing so far unfortunately. This one is definite though.

    Grace O Malley do you think despite everything the Irish and English are brotherly nations? Or do you count them as "British Isles" or very similar?

    They have a shared history and a lot of it bad but Britain is Ireland's closest neighbour and there is a much better relationship between the two countries now. Northern Ireland sharing a land border with Ireland means there has to be a lot more interaction between these countries than most other parts of Europe. It's a complicated relationship and both countries have the Common Travel Area so while Britain is no longer an EU member the Irish and British still can travel to each other's country without visas etc. There is still a lot of unresolved issues but I think both countries take a pragmatic approach and realise there needs to be good relations. Lots of Irish in Britain and lots of British in Ireland. Many British people have Irish ancestry so most Irish people would have family in Britain.

    O'great. I just hope somewhere around midseason, maybe episode five or six, we can have a little breather from all the shouting and action, sword clashing and thumb breaking, scheming and plotting. Whole episode would be just everybody drinking mead all nite at the local alehouse, Tech Mid Chuarda. Everybody relaxing, singing songs about gypsies, tramps and thieves, pirates and billiepipers, lords and miners alike. Close to morning and cuckoo's call, things would start to get little steamy. You see humping and shaqqing. And who do you see jumping up behind the bar counter:



    THE END

    If this happends, 10/10 show, will deffo watch. If not, forget about it, you won't see me bothering with this o'crap.

    It's a very interesting part of Irish history. The last chance that Gaeldom had to survive. Hopefully they will do the period justice. I will definitely be following this with interest and looking forward to seeing who the actors will be.

    Are you gonna cry if all the O'Irish are not gonna get represented by Irish actors? What if Grace O'Malley gets genderswapped to Gary O'Malley worlds first transgender pirate.

    Did you get out of bed on the wrong side? It's an historical program focussing on the Irish perspective in Elizabethan times. It will be interesting seeing what actors will take part. A lot of programs now have minorities represented and I doubt all the actors will be Irish.

    Jeez Grace have a laff will'ya. Seems what happened here is this. I walked up a green hill and saw black branch with blood that kept dripping. You walked in room full of men with their hammers bleeding. But no worries, hard rains gonna fall and wash it all away, and I'm gonna watch this tale, so no need to be mad at me.
