Belfast

In programme one, with Snoop dog in tow, Paddy follows the Titanic trail from Belfast to Cobh. First he pays a visit to the impressive, new Titanic Quarter in Belfast, the centrepiece of which is attracting a steady flow of tourists from all over Ireland and the world. Visitors speak of the emotion the Titanic centre evokes and one woman tells of her grandfather who worked on the ship. Paddy meets a former publican who used alcohol to drown out the Troubles; and a priest who speaks candidly about the joys and difficulties of being a priest in the current climate. Next, Paddy heads to the Titanic museum in Cobh, Co. Cork, where a cruise liner of Italian tourists docks bringing custom to local businesses. Paddy meets a man who used to work on ships and travelled the world from the age of fourteen, when he first went to sea, straight from industrial school. He also meets woman who runs her own horse and carriage business during the summer.
