In fifth century Ireland, reality television reached its peak.

Shane 'The Most Famous' Todd walks Hazel 'Neighbour to Damien Dempsey' Hayes through the story of Niall of the Nine Hostages, who took over Ireland and invaded Europe after clinching an incredibly intense edition of "Ireland’s Next Top High King". 

Oh, and Niall also has the most descendants in the modern world behind Genghis Khan. Strap in!
