Ireland's secrets from above Season 1 Episode release dates & where to watch

1. South and East

The first episode of this two part aerial documentary series explores the secrets and hidden histories of Ireland’s beautiful and ancient South and East. Our journey begins on the east coast where we discover how a world famous Hollywood actor became stranded in the waterside mansion of a former Formula 1 driver and reveal the long and chequered history of a Viking prison island. We reveal how the extraordinary secret of an ancient necropolis was revealed by a hovering drone; how a Wicklow waterfall nearly severed the British royal line, the secret grave of Father Christmas; the gilded vision of a Swiss spymaster and the strange tale of Europe’s only open sea cable car and the four-legged passengers that once used it.

2. North and West

Explores some of Ireland's most iconic locations in the northern and western parts of the country, including a giant footstep in the Burren discovered on Google Earth and the crash site of the first non-stop transatlantic flight.
