Why Would You Tell Me That?

The Big Irish Head On You

Season 8, Ep. 7

This week, the lads concentrate on ‘big Irish heads’ with Dr Ian Miller, historian and author of A History of Ireland in 10 Body Parts.


The book, as you might imagine, covers a plethora of noteworthy limbs, but even a zoom in on just our noggins informs Neil and Dave about some wonderful tidbits. Can a Iron Age bog body really be wearing hair gel? (Spoiler: Yes he can).
