point taken re television

but how often do you see stuff like this coming out of the west of Ireland?

compared to the likes of killinaskully which is happy to just show painfully unfunny charicatures of boggers, this at least has some subtle humour to it

Hardy Bucks has made it into the first round of RTE's Storyland so the first episode should be online in March.

It'll be interesting to see how it goes down.

Had Hardy Bucks it won before the starting gun? I'm a little sad to see Happyslapper, Running Low and Psych Ward struggling while Chez Spuds lead the pack.

Yeah, RTE send out scouts who cite their preferences in competitions they run. Because they like getting sued.

The votes are probably going to be reset because the voting system isn't tamper proof.

Just watched it there... a bit fast paced.. but i sapose they only had 7 minutes unlike the you tube vids which were as long as they liked...

http://www.rte.ie/storyland/finalists/hardybucks.html

Id say they will get through.. 45% so far...

just seen the storyland episode, very funny. These guys are good, not the usual rte safe option unfunny comedy ! The heads at donnybrook should sign them up fast or they could have another Father Ted situation on their hands.

I'm sick saying this to people: Father Ted was never offered to RTE.

However. I do agree with you that the Hardy Bucks guys are funny. Very funny. I want to see them on our screens.

God they should be voted up. Unfair advantage, seeing as the video in the lead at the moment has established actors in it.

The voting would appear to be fixed somewhat and now the votes are not jumping all over the place anymore.

They've taken the polling system down so no one will know where they are until it all ends.

Also, vote for rental boys

How does RTE think that's a good idea? The voting system started out the competition compromised and now they want less transparency.

Well it's becoming evident that RTE aren't quite as well prepared for the whole project as maybe they should have been. It is a new venture for RTE, and they're letting Storyland crews make the mistakes for them before the launch an online service properly, but it is a bit unfair on some of the productions.

Rental Boys page had Hardy Bucks for the first day & a half. One other production (not sure which one) only had their promo up for 2 days too. Simple things like that are frustrating at best.

But hiding the tally is an active step. I think it's a bad idea because when people start getting eliminated, there's going to be suspicions about whether there were mysterious vote surges and other dodgy stuff. And since confidence has been, quite rightly, shaken in RTE's capacity to manage this thing, people are going to be even more likely to call shenanigans.
