Tim McGarry, a six foot four comedian, joins vertically challenged Orangeman and historian, Dr David Hume, to look at a number of fascinating historical incidents and people in Irish history. The unlikely duo investigates well known historical events from different perspectives, to give the listener the long and the short of it. In this second episode in the eighth series, they examine the Plantation of Ulster, its evolution and impact on the development of the country, as well as its place in the growing British Empire. They seek expert guidance from historians Dr Éamonn Ó Ciadhra, Professor Raymond Gillespie and Professor Sarah Barber.
