Did anyone else see this drama shown on BBC2 last night?

 

It was set around the IRA bombing of Warrington in 1993 and the reaction it caused. It served as a powerful reminder of what the Good Friday Agreement brought to an end and why it is so important that it stays in place.

I haven’t seen it yet due to being away, but I intend to watch it when I get back, mainly because both my parents were extras in it.

Was that in one of the scenes set in Belfast?

My dad was in the scenes set in Dublin, and my mum was in the scenes set in Dublin and Warrington, although those scenes were filmed in Belfast. My mums a mourner and protester, my dad is a photographer.

So the scenes in O'Connell Street were all done via green screen? I'd assumed they were as they didn't look quite right. I suppose it won't be long before they are able to do that without it being noticeable.
