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 the fourth programme in the series they explore Carson's legacy as a deeply controversial politician of the early 20th century. They meet political historian Dr Eamon Phoenix at the graveside of Carson in St Anne's Cathedral, leading feminist writer and historian Dr Margaret Ward at Abbeylands in Whiteabbey and historian Gordon Lucy at Stormont in view of Carson's statue.
