Ould David Andrews was a decent sort, well as decent as a politician could be!

at the Stat Wars music and the Nuns!

The bit with the female teacher was funny. Hot looking woman BTW.

Last nights was brilliant...I particularly enjoyed the Padraig Pearse part.

I just watched on the RTE player and I was about to post the same thing. It was excellent and perhaps uncomfortable for a lot of people who may be unaware of Pearse's writings. Then again the whole show is uncomfortable for a lot of people in Irish society.They are unlikely to be watching.
Really brilliantly observed and cutting. I can't believe it's on RTE.
All in all an excellent show.

He was on tv last week, seemed like a very intelligent man. Image of mcsavage and you can really see where the mcsavage minister character comes from!!

Me too!!

The bit with the parents touring the school with all the stashed priests was brilliant!

Quality episode last night

Stick a shaft and cams through his remains and maybe he can power the Aras.

Great show, By far the best thing on RTE when it comes to comedy!

Really enjoyed the episode. Just watched it. He had a right go at the teachers anyway. The Gardai scenes were epic

Decent episode the other night....several highlights throughout the show. This is streets ahead of any other RTE comedy IMHO.

The Garda training stuff is classic.

Strangely, 3 days after watching it, I'm still laughing at Ireland's President for Life saying that she used to be a "muousic twatcher"

The President for Life stuff is coming into its own, after being easily the weakest thing about the show, it's now a vital part

Thanks. I've been working on it quite a bit lately, glad to hear it's paid off.

Last episode was excellent. The hector sketch, hector in total denial of his hidden intelligence 'hura hura hura'. The nuns sketch with the wacky insect-head nuns, oddly very funny. That scumbag character played by mcsavage himself, the way he starts the sketch with "here c'mere" in his knacker accent gets me every time.
I often find myself laughing at this program, confused as to why im laughing but finding it some hoot all the same. Think i actually prefer the totally weird/mad stuff over the more traditional anecdotal segments.

Great show. 10 times better than any comedy show being produced in ireland or even the uk at the moment. Yes i did just say that.

Very good episode that one. Is this a hidden joke?

Why is Ireland so proud of it's education system?

i spat my tea out when "she" said that!

Overall i'd say it's fresh enough to keep going as a show. It's not a mainstream show by any means, so it shouldn't lose it's edge. Pity more Irish comedy writers aren't getting the finger out. It is possible, (savage eye is not made by RTE) that by hiring so many comedians RTE is actually killing irish comedy tv. Does that make sense?

Next Mondays installment which is the last of the series.

Episode 6 - WORST PLACE: Why is Ireland the Worst Place to be Irish?

That Black Betty/Pat Kenny intro to 'The Hardline' a few weeks ago was one of the funniest things I'd seen on Irish TV in a while. I just wish they'd put it as one of the clips of the show on youtube. Can't find it anywhere!

I wish someone would put some Se3 episodes up on youtube. The show is geoblocked on the RTE player and I badly miss my dose of brilliance.
