The Irish Pirate
Prismark1021 January 2021
There is some knockabout comedy and a lot of treachery in this story that has a lot of oirishness.

An angry Queen Elizabeth wants Francis Drake to capture Irish rebel, The Earl of Tyrone, Lord O'Neill. A traitor who wants Ireland for himself.

Drake gets troublesome Irish pirate Grace O'Malley as a guest in his ship. Lord O'Neill is trying to pacify her two sons to get their support.

Drake decides to use her as a lure for O'Neill. However O'Malley's sons are no fans of the English. The two half brothers also dislike each other as well.

The cunning O'Malley escapes causing Drake a headache.

An episode with a bit more on the humour and a spirited performance from Elspeth March as Grace O'Malley.
