That Guardian article is the biggest load of flannel I've ever read.
Totally sensationalist.

This didn't really explore 'Ireland After Partition'at all.
Instead it was a potted history of Peter Taylor's reporting in Ireland over the last 49 years.
It was standard BBC 'Troubles' fare with minor traces of political objectivity.
I'm always wary of these types of programmes which include 'milestones' as they gave little or no context and they rarely expand on the subject matter of the 'milestones'.
You can tell this was aimed at a British audience
4/10.

Does say "uniquely personal journey" in the prog details ?
And only 59 minutes ?
Not seen it yet

49 years of reporting in 59 minutes is typical of the BBC.
