1962: Poteen
"The war between the police and the poteen makers - you could very nearly call it a game - is conducted on gentlemanly lines."
Fyfe Robertson takes a trip to the hills of County Cork in the Republic of Ireland, where poitín (anglicised as 'poteen') - illicit whiskey - is being secretly distilled, away from the prying eyes of the Gardaí.
How does one go about making this do-it-yourself hooch? What are the risks? Most importantly of all, what does it taste like? Fyfe will not rest until he has answered all these questions.
This clip from Tonight was originally broadcast 1 May 1962.
