Where can I get "Roddy Doyle - The Family"

Rochie IRL · 01-09-2009, 19:50

Does anyone know where I can get my hands on this it was shown on BBC in 1994 and featured a family in inner city dublin. The Spencer Family. Charlo was the Drunken abusive father. Paula the mother who suffered at the hands of Charlo. John paul the son etc. Each week the focus would be on a particular family member.

I don't think it was shown again but I'd love to see it.

I remember this was a great show.

Im pretty sure RTE were involved with making this so maybe it would be worth your while shooting someone there an email. Havent ever seen it available on DVD/video.

Try searching for the series under "Paula Spencer" and "The Woman Who Walked into Doors". The series was based on these books and they may have re-named the series with the titles from these books.

Thanks for the comments, I'll keep on searching and see what turns up.
