It is an amazing thing to imagine. <BR/><BR/>I'm also imagining William's wardrobe stuffed with pale trousers and dark coats now! He did well though even braving the prow of a lifeboat. I like his presenting style.<BR/><BR/>I didn't mind the graphics as some seem to. I have watched some of it again with my children, and I suppose I'm biased in enjoying its child (and uninformed adult) friendly structure.Sharon McDaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550156204691696968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21098869.post-60451287379365275272008-04-01T08:39:00.000+01:002008-04-01T08:39:00.000+01:00Ooops - spot the anomaly - the New Line is only 4 ...Ooops - spot the anomaly - the New Line is only 4 miles from the mines.Stephen Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08427967920610532340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21098869.post-33697358592991346562008-04-01T08:37:00.000+01:002008-04-01T08:37:00.000+01:00Never heard of the saltmines in Carrick? I guess ...Never heard of the saltmines in Carrick? I guess as someone who hails from the town I'm more than used to them. Growing up in the 70's and 80's (in an era without obsession with Health and Safety) we often played around (and in) the open mine shafts and lift machinery in the fields where houses now stand.<BR/><BR/>The mines go much further than you'd ever think - 5 miles below Belfast Lough, and the same distance inland. A few years ago the New Line Road (over 6 miles from the main entrance) collapsed into a mine, leaving a 50ft crater. The road had to be diverted half a mile from its original junction with the Marshalstown Road.....<BR/><BR/>As for the programme - interesting history, simplified of course, but those 'state-of-the-art' graphics remind me of Tron meets Manic Miner....Stephen Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08427967920610532340noreply@blogger.com
