The Family Silver
The Family Silver documentary series features stories of inheritance disputes which have torn families apart, split communities and made international headline news. These quirky, cautionary tales span Ireland, the UK and America and show the lengths that people will go to, to get what they believe is rightfully theirs.
This critically-acclaimed series reached a peak audience share of 41% and was also broadcast on The History Channel.
Outstanding – absorbing in its subject matter, often impish in the telling and with a poignant undertow to each story….. It’s not often that an Irish series is made with such assurance – by people who know, not only exactly what they want, but also how to achieve it …. I can’t begin to convey how good this series was.
Series one was shortlisted for Best Documentary at the TV Now Awards, 2006. Series two was shortlisted for Best Documentary Series at the Irish Film and Television Awards, 2007.
