Northern Ireland Snapshots - Roving Reporter

In the 1960s, BBC Northern Ireland ran a series of short reports from their 'roving reporter' that featured actor and presenter James Boyce and others touring the highways and byways of the region. With his eye for the quirky and his gifted way with words, Boyce brought to light the histories of well-known landmarks and uncovered unusual events and local folklore.

These items were never transmitted outside Northern Ireland, but a selection is now brought together in this collection.
