Knuckle-Bare Fist Fighting BBC 4

Knuckle-bare fist fighters BBC 4. I like Storyville and this is a far more interesting take than something like My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding. But it’s difficult to make a comparison with something you’ve seen and something you’ve not seen, which is the case in the latter, so I’ll restrict my remarks to the former. The feud between two clans of travelling families, the Quinn Mc Donagh and Joyce’s was filmed over 12 years, but goes back to an incident in 1992. One of the Quinns was charged with the manslaughter of a Joyce. This led to retaliatory beatings, threats, counter threats and a whole lot of chest beating. These were settled by chest beating, threats, counter threats and bare knuckle fights. Being Ireland of course there were lots of side bets of £30K and in the last fight filmed £60K. Funnily enough it was a draw. No doubt it will lead to chest beating, threats, counter threats and bare knuckle fighting.
