WLR have a fantastic and enthralling selection of award winning documentaries for you to enjoy this Christmas, covering a variety of topics, from the increase in popularity in sea swimming in Waterford to a day in the life of a Waterford Traveller.

If history is your thing we look back at Waterford's participation in The Tops of The Town, we trace the origins of The Blaa and tell the story of The Daly Sisters.

We also have music documentaries remembering the late Tony Weldon, as well as Brendan Bowyer, who passed away earlier this year.

See below for a full list of what to enjoy on-air this Christmas:
