Though they hail from Liverpool, the McGann brothers have been called the Irish Barrymores because of their Irish roots and familial success on stage and screen in the U.K. In a project inspired by their heritage, they star as brothers in an upstanding Irish farming family who fight the ravages of the potato blight of the 1840s, a subject rarely if ever before tackled by a television drama. The DVD includes production notes, photo gallery and cast filmographies.
