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 programme in the series they examine the impact of Irish politician Charles Stewart Parnell and ask if Nationalists could tolerate a Protestant leader. They meet historian Dr Carla King at Parnell's birthplace of Avondale in County Wicklow, the spot of the Phoenix Park murders with historian Dr Conor Mulvagh and Parnell's burial place at Glasnevin Cemetery with Professor Pauric Travers.
