Press

The Troubles have rarely registered as much more than a tiresome background hum in Lisa McGee's fabulous sitcom. Tonight, marching season brings them into sharper focus. Rehearsals are under way ("They've played the same three songs since 1795. What do they need to rehearse for?") and a holiday is mooted. Heart and hilarity in spades.
