There’s Something About Patrick

Scéal (Stair), Pobail luathaoise agus scéalta ársa (stair), An saol, an tsochaí, obair agus cultúr san am atá caite (stair), Eras Réanna athraithe agus coimhlinte (stair), Polaitíocht, coimhlint agus an tsochaí (stair), Leanúnachas agus athrú thar am (stair) Stair

Acclaimed comedian Neil Delamere takes on Ireland’s favourite saint, meeting experts, historians and Paddy’s Day revellers to separate the truth from the myth. The reality turns out to be a little different – he was probably Welsh, there were no snakes, the shamrock is a pagan symbol and Christianity got here before before he did. Oh, and St Patrick isn’t even a saint! This film won the Celtic Media Award Best Factual Entertainment in 2014.

The Only Viking In The Village

Scéal (Stair), Staidéir áitiúla (stair), Pobail luathaoise agus scéalta ársa (stair), An saol, an tsochaí, obair agus cultúr san am atá caite (stair), Eras Réanna athraithe agus coimhlinte (stair), Polaitíocht, coimhlint agus an tsochaí (stair), Leanúnachas agus athrú thar am (stair) Stair

Neil Delamere goes back to his half-Viking, half-Norman roots to uncover the fact and fiction behind his hairy ancestors, while trying to see if he has any Viking left in him as he learns to eat, dress, sail and fight like one. Neil also takes to the stand-up stage in Waterford to share his newfound insights. This film won the IFTA Best Factual Entertainment award in 2012.

Irish history has a cast of millions of characters, but every now and then one lad or lady sticks out as truly heroic. It’s time for Neil Delamere to take on Ireland’s Heroes. From the legendary warrior, Cúchulainn to the pirate queen, Gráinne Mhaol, Neil wants to get inside their skin and see if he has what it takes to be a modern day Irish Hero. Spoiler alert: He doesn’t.

Eureka! The Big Bang Query

Feasacht faoin timpeallacht agus cúram don timpeallacht (tíreolas/eolaíocht), Nithe beo (eolaíocht), Fuinneamh agus fórsaí (eolaíocht), Ábhair (eolaíocht) Eolaíocht

Comedy and science collide as host, Neil Delamere puts team captains, PJ Gallagher and Dr Aoibhinn Ní Shúilleabháin and their teams of comedians and science personalities through their paces, in this original science-comedy quiz.

Each show sees host Neil Delamere risk life and limb to celebrate the greatest ‘Eureka Moments’ of our time – he channels 4 million volts of electricity and shoots lightning out of his fingertips (and a couple of other places while he’s at it), he creates an earthquake in Westmeath, undergoes astronaut training in a human centrifuge and goes freediving in a freezing quarry – all in the name of science.

Eureka! The Big Bang Query was made with the support of Science Foundation Ireland and the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland.
