Introduced by John Low Narrated by John Kavanagh Read by Jim Norton • Denys Hawthorne Nicholas Boulton • Marcella Riordan William Butler Yeats was born in Dublin in 1865. His father was a lawyer and a well-known portrait painter. Yeats was educated in London and in Dublin, but spent his summers in the west of Ireland in the family's summer house in County Sligo. The young Yeats was active in societies that attempted an Irish literary revival. His early poetry was influenced by John Keats, William Wordsworth, William Blake and many more. His earliest volume of verse was published in 1889. Together with Lady Gregory he founded the Irish Theatre, which was to become the Abbey Theatre, and served as its chief playwright until the movement was joined by John Sing. His plays usually treat Irish legends; they also reflect his fascination with mysticism and spiritualism. After 1910, Yeats's dramatic art took a sharp turn toward a highly poetical, static, and esoteric style. Although a convinced patriot, Yeats deplored the hatred and the bigotry of the Nationalist movement, and his poetry is full of moving protests against it. He was appointed to the Irish Senate in 1922. His poetry, especially the volumes The Wild Swans at Coole (1919), Michael Robartes and the Dancer (1921), The Tower (1928), The Winding Stair and Other Poems (1933), and Last Poems and Plays (1940), made him one of the outstanding and most influential twentieth-century poets writing in English. His recurrent themes are the contrast of art and life, masks, cyclical theories of life (the symbol of the winding stairs), and the ideal of beauty and ceremony contrasting with the hubbub of modern life.

Alan Lewis - A former International Irish cricketer and former International rugby union referee. He played 121 times for the Irish cricket team between 1984 and 1997 including eight first-class matches against Scotland and 23 List A matches. He captained Ireland Cricket team 35 times and is one of only six players to have played more than 100 times for Ireland, behind only Peter Gillespie and Kyle McCallan. In 1995, Lewis won the man of the match award in a Benson & Hedges Cup match against Kent, this added to his 1991 Man of the match award in the NatWest Trophy against Middlesex. This made Alan the only Irish player to win man of the match awards in both competitions. He also played a match for the MCC against Scotland in 1995. Alan played eight further times for Ireland that year, including a match against Australia, before his final match against the Earl of Arundel's XI on 20 August. He played twice more for the MCC against Scotland, in 1998 and 2002. Alan also played rugby union but his career was cut short by injury so he took up refereeing. In no time Alan reached the highest level of refereeing and was selected for the 2003 and 2007 Rugby World Cups. Alan gives his views to Gary Cooke on where we have come with refereeing at the highest level and have, we gone too far ! and a lot more !

Cricket Hall of Famer Susan Bray terrified batters at home and abroad during her decade at the top. She came into the dominant Clontarf team in her mid-teens and quickly assumed the mantle of the great Stella Owens. She won the Harrison Cup ten times as the leading bowler in Leinster, and in 33 inter-pros, she took 61 wickets at an amazing average of 8.37. Susan was first capped by Ireland as an 18-year-old winning 40 caps - taking 52 wkts at an average of 16.33. Her best return was 7-21 against Netherlands in a 3-day game in 1987, in which she also took 5-35. She also took 5-27 v Denmark in 1990 - all three are still in the best ten performances for Ireland. Her ODI economy rate of 2.15 is still the eighth best of all time, standing beside the best of Australia, England and New Zealand.
