Season 1 Episode 1

Another chance to see the epic drama originally screened in the 1980s, chronicling the horrors of the 1913 Dublin lockout, when labour disputes got out of hand, prompting thousands to strike. When employers refused to give in to the workers' demands, the poverty-stricken masses were left struggling to support themselves and their families, and the tale focuses on individual responses to the suffering all around them. Based on James Plunkett's acclaimed novel of the same name, the series has been digitally remastered to bring the quality bang up to date, and stars Peter O'Toole, Brendan Cauldwell, Cyril Cusack, Frank Grimes, Donal McCann, David Kelly, Bryan Murray and Angela Harding
