| The jigs played during this programme are Up And About In The Morning and Willie Clancy's version of Cailleach An Airgid, The Hag With The Money. |
| Perhaps it is merely a corruption of the Irish cailleach, old woman, learned from the Irish costermongers in London. |
| In the second incident that happened to the cailleach there appears to be a reminiscence of Sindbad the sailor. |
| And while the feast was fresh in people's memory, they affected to speak of the cailleach beal-tine as dead. |
| Gemma Jones is The Cailleach of the spirit world, Colin Morgan is Merlin, Richard Wilson is Gaius and John Hurt the Voice of the Dragon. |
