Since the last episode I've seen Freeman in two other TV shows and Tommy Barrett in a film.  ;D

He was only 17?  :(
Sounds like he might have been a shrewd kid - if only he'd turned his talents and skills into legitimate pursuits rather than illegal ones.  ;)

Sounds interesting HealyJ. I'd like to check that out.
What is TG4 please?
And the English subtitles? What language is the programme in?

I wondered if that may be the case.  :)
So TG4 may be an Irish TV station?

Its not like the news stories from Scotland that have had subtitles?  ;D

I admit my first thought on the subtitles for this was the broadness of the accent.
