This has been a stunning series. I was a teenager when the British army was sent over to northern Ireland and it's been amazing to discover how little I knew about why the situation deteriorated so catastrophically. Living through a period of history really isn't the best way to learn about it! You need the perspective a programme like this provides. I was so impressed by the courage of the people talking about their reasons for supporting different paramilitary groups. The decision by so many of them to say yes to the Good Friday agreement made me ashamed of having been so ignorant while the troubles were happening. The series also made me feel even angrier with those politicians who have made the agreement less secure by their political shenanigans.
