#4772015-01-05 21:45being saying this for years ;yet the worst offenders are the BBC always say POTATO FAMINE ;I don't mind if is called the GREAT famine as it was famine even if was caused by Trevelyn and british government ;even access to wild life was denied ;rabbits wild fowl etc was deemed property of Landlords and even trying to access water wells on their land was seen as trespass .since 1500s we were demonised by the powers that be in Britain and the general population in Britain believe us to be inferior beings .some of the less informed in Britain still hold this to this belief |

#4862015-01-14 08:47This has been a long time coming, far too long the world should be made aware of this genocide, other atrocities are recognised , this should be too |

#4882015-01-14 09:22Remember those who died with dignity, a Million Irish people died destitute and hungry and it is wholly inappropriate and morally reprehensible to make a comedy about this tragedy. As an Irish person I'm shocked that Channel 4 would even consider such a sick idea. History should recognise the real truth and no one should be allowed to twist what happened. |
Guest |
#4892015-01-14 10:00How can channel 4 make a comedy about people dying from hunger!! I wonder It's the same old retohric Irish are an easy target and the butt of all jokes in this country. |

#4902015-01-14 11:08The famine was a genocide intentionally carried out to kill people and displace them. |

#4912015-01-14 12:07I am totally against the airing of this comedy and feel it to be disrespectful and degrading to the people who suffered during the Famine. I respectfully ask that it is not aired on Television. |

#4922015-01-14 12:12I,ve always thought of it as Genocide, when your exporting vast quantities of Beef and Grain while millions of People are starving, its Murder plain and simple. |

#4932015-01-14 12:22Diminishing the impact of politically holocausts and great hungers, makes the likely to happen again. |

#4942015-01-14 12:22This was not a Famine per se. It was a potato blight. Three time the amount of food needed to feed the Irish Nation was being exported at gunpoint resulting in a Holocaust. One million dead is a very low estimate. And the Brits wonder why they are not liked !!! |

#4972015-01-14 15:09The decsendents of the survivors deserve piblic acknowledgement of the suffering. Hiding English guilt behind media labels does no justice to those who died |
