First aired on RTÉ One and BBC1 in 1995, this four‑episode British‑Irish co‑production by Little Bird Films for BBC Northern Ireland, with RTÉ and Irish Film Board support, is set in 1846 at the onset of the Great Famine. It features the four McGann brothers and takes its title from the “hanging gale” – a landlord practice granting new tenants a six‑month rent grace period until the harvest.
