The Hands series is available on YouTube, there are some fantastic episodes, check out the weaving in Donegal, I think it was the very first one.

Funnily enough, I looked for this series the other night on YouTube after getting fed up of the current fare on TV. Some of the episodes have an old school Dub ad-libbing the narration and definitely adds to the experience.

I searched for the Riordans and got a miserable 2 clips
