It's the scariest episode yet. Irish folklore is the inspiration for many of the scary things we have come to associate with Halloween. Being Irish, most of us grew up with these tales but many of these creatures were originally darker than people might realise.

It's another bonus episode. It's whiskey, wakes and sandwiches so, so many sandwiches. Yes, Padraic and Patrick discuss Irish funerals. It's a busy episode with Padraic jumping up and down on a dead bullock and Patrick considers why a good funeral is better than a bad wedding.

Its a bonus episode of Being Irish where Padraic and Patrick discuss the celebration of Being Irish, yes its a whole episode dedicated to Saint Patrick's day.
