No, it's not the same. This one is what it says on the label:

Documentary which looks at the Irish folk revival of the last 20 or 30 years. 60 years ago virtually unheard abroad and largely unloved at home, Irish music has given the world a sense of Ireland and Ireland a sense of itself, as the country has risen from an impoverished post-colonial upstart to a modern European power. Contributors include Christy Moore, Paddy Moloney of The Chieftains, Ronnie Drew of The Dubliners, Liam Clancy of The Clancy Brothers and Shane MacGowan of The Pogues.

It was made a few years ago and includes comments by Philip. Very well worth watching for those who can get BBC iPlayer:

Followed by some archive material from earlier BBC shows:

And followed by Christy Moore's 2008 Barrowland concert.

It's an excellent programme. Don't know how many times I've seen it, but it's always worth another viewing.
Likes the warm feeling but is tired of all the dehydration.
