Casting a warm nostalgic eye over the tropes of an Irish Christmas, asking how much has changed and how much has soothingly stayed the same, RTÉ's popular series The Way We Were has a seasonal special.
Return of the documentary about Ireland's social and cultural history, looking at the issue of love, including courtship and dating rituals, habits and taboo.
A look at the recent history of the Irish housing, from the idealistic Garden City movement of the 1930's and 40's to the socially destructive high-rise projects of the 1960's and '70's.
How Irish people used to enjoy themselves, including trips to the cinema, variety shows, speciality acts and circuses, plus the country's love affair with wrestling and stunt shows.
Each decade of the 20th Century saw its own Holy Communion Fashions, Bridal and Wedding Fashions, Work Wear Fashions, Partywear Fashions, Weird Underwear Trends, Teen and Youth Fashions and Outlandish Fads. The Way We Wore takes a trawl through the archives to reveal how we Irish styled ourselves as the 20th Century progressed into the 21st.
