Your message :
Please in the name of human decency do not make a programme about the irish famine that is any way degrading obscene or disrespectful to the memory of the dead and the countless families torn asunder by famine. I expect more from your channel than this.

Time will tell, Jarlath. If nothing else the response to this idea from around Ireland and the Irish diaspora has put Channel 4 on notice that they will face a firestorm if they go ahead with this and it in any way makes light of the tragic events and great suffering of the Irish people during the Great Hunger.
