    Yes, I used to watch it

    Can you remember the Mommos? They're the most mysterious part of the whole thing. No one seems clear even on what they looked like.

    I completely forgot about this show. Used creep the crap out of me. Love to see it in 2019!

    Actually loved this show when it was on. Did Aunt Vera not have a male frine called Quentin P? Maybe I imagined that. I think the sister's name was Ellen-she had black hair. We never actually saw him, but the oldest brother, Rory, was always going on about his friend Jimmy Doran. Anyone else remember these details?

    Haha! Was gonna mention Jimmy Doran. Think there was an episode where he borrowed Dora's swimming trunks and needed to give them back. Fairly weird borrowing that sort of stuff.

    I'm convinced she was based on Terry Keane. There's a resemblance there even down to the ridiculous posh accent.

    RTE should have brought this back during the lockdown. It went under the radar on original screening because it was shown in a kids slot, it's the sort of show that could become a cult classic if they'd ever get off their arses and make it available.

    I would imagine a lot of the footage is lost/taped over etc
    They seemed to have a history of that!

    Don't remember that, do remember Claudia carroll jumping out of the picture on the wall- she was 1 of 2 girls that came alive when they were sucked into the picture (or something like that)

    RTE have the complete series but they're claiming the usual copyright issues.
