Oi Ginger | RTÉ Two | 24th October | 9:55 | #OiGinger
In this instalment of Reality Bites, Angela Scanlon -- the stylist and fashion journalist -- explores one of Ireland's best known features: our red hair. Angela is herself a natural redhead, and in this entertaining documentary she guides us through the experiences -- good and bad -- of growing up as a 'Ginger'.

If only I lived in Ireland. I'm a UK based Irish redhead and would love to see this show.

Watching many RTÉ video archives and Irish films I only found dark-haired, brunette and blonde female celebrities. (And some red-headed *gentlemen* like the Gleesons, but Maureen O'Hara was the only case I've found a genuine red-headed Irish *lady*.) And as a foreigner I also thought the rumour of Ireland having lots of redheads is simply a stereotype created during the spreading of leprechaun tales. This is the first time I see real live red-headed Irish ladies, so many of them. Thanks for sharing the video & I wish to watch more episodes of this show in this country I'm staying.
