Consider it not necessarily a night of must-see TV but rather a night of hard-to-avoid TV.

On Wednesday 180 fires raged, and the commander of Belfast's fire brigade called it his department's busiest night since the Luftwaffe bombed the city in 1941. The following day, ruc Chief Constable Sir Hugh Annesley reversed his orders. Police began shoving Catholic protesters out of the way and escorting Orangemen down Garvaghy Road.
