I really want to see this but I think it's currently only available to viewers in Ireland (I'm not in Ireland).

Sorry sbout that, I didn't realise. TG4 usually lists where programmes are available but RTE doesn't. So I had no way of checking availability and just assumed it could be watched anywhere.
