Video: The ‘Ginger Christmas’ music video from tonight’s Republic of Telly is well worth a look

At this time of year, it’s important to think of those less fortunate… We’re absolutely joking, any gingers out there.

At this time of year, it’s important to think of those less fortunate… We’re absolutely joking, any gingers out there.

Ginger people often unfairly get a bad rap simply for the colour of their hair but they belong to a group that includes Emma Stone, Christina Hendricks and, of course, the great Paul O’Connell so it can’t be all bad, right?

The existence of the names above doesn’t put a stop to the tough times that gingers sometimes have to go through and nobody can express that lament better than gingers themselves, of whom Republic of Telly’s Bernard O’Shea is one.

Bernard put together what was a heartfelt, funny and at times quite touching anthem about life as a ginger at Christmas together for tonight’s episode of Republic of Telly and the end product is something that will be enjoyed by gingers and people with normal coloured hair alike.

Joking, of course. Just joking.
