Episode Synopsis

In this episode we look at the preserved corpses of Ireland - from the Egyptian mummies brought into the country, to the home-grown mummies of St Michans, to the mysterious bog bodies from our own distant past. Each of these was a life once lived, and each of them has a story to tell.
