Ardal O’Hanlon: Time spent with Travellers was eye-opener

TV star Ardal O’Hanlon had told how spending time with a family of Travellers on his new offbeat travel series dispelled his stereotypical image of the community.

The comedian shines a light on superstitions, stereotypes and our national identity is a new three-part travel series on what makes Ireland tick.

The Channel 4 series takes it cues from Victorian guidebooks discovered by the Irish comedian written by travel writers Mr & Mrs S C Hall to tempt the English over to Ireland in the 1800s.
