BBC - Terry Wogan's Ireland (2011) Part 2 Belfast and the North
After 40 years, Sir Terry Wogan returns to Ireland, stepping back into his past to explore how the country helped shape him, and looking at what it means to be Irish in the 21st century.
Part 2: Belfast and the North
Terry reaches the halfway mark in the epic journey around his homeland. Having travelled the southern half of the Republic, where he grew up, it is the turn of the north, much of which is now quite literally a different country. After sharing memories of his buttoned-up childhood holidays in Galway and witnessing a seismic shift in Catholic prudery when 180 Irish ladies throw off all their clothes and take a 'Dip in the Nip' for charity, Terry heads for the border, where he finds plenty of reasons to be cheerful - football replacing fighting in the notorious Creggan housing estate, a Peace Bridge hoping to bring Protestants and Catholics together in Derry and a London Docklands-style transformation of the famous shipyards in Belfast where the Titanic was built.
