    I was pleasantly surprised to see Hall's Pictorial Weekly on RTE2 last night. Hell, it brought back some memories for me. My parents could only afford a Black and White TV license then. Colour TV's were rare back in the 70's.

    Almost 30 years ago :eek:

    I hope there are some of you who can remember the series.

    Minister of Hardship was always worth a look.

    Yes, I remember the boys from Ballymagash plotting to stage the first annual International Ballymagash film festival in order to get to see 'Last Tango in Paris' (it was banned in Ireland at the time).

    Hall's Pictorial Weekly was a savage political and cultural satirical punch delivered in a velvet glove.
