An Crisis (TG4)

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Has anyone watched this yet?
Great new comedy from TG4... It's no Rásaí na Gaillimhe, but I really like the first two episodes... Looking forward to the rest...
If RTÉ took a leaf out of the TG4 playbook, they might be able to produce something halfway decent... Another quality show from TG4 anyway...

Cheers to Elmo, for letting me know this show was on, otherwise I might have missed out on it altogether...

As always the first two episodes are up on tg4.tv and its worth the watch... It airs Wednesday nights, repeated on Saturday nights... Think there's 6 episodes in the first series...

I thought Rasaí na Gaillimhe was cack.

Watched half of the first episode of this. All right so far I suppose.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Rásaí na Gaillimhe was excellent...
Anyway, they're not the same at all, I only compared because they're both comedies as Gaeilge and share a timeslot on TG4... Completely different shows, though...

Your username is really starting to get on my nerves ...

I just didn't like Rasaí.

I quite like An Crisis. Watched the first 2 episodes.

It's supposed to be ironic...
I can be negative sometimes, but I'm definitely not the Captain of it...

Glad you liked the first two episodes...
I thought in the second one where the meeting was being held in Irish, English & Spanish, was very funny...

Elmo

It has six nominations in Acting and Production at this years Monte-Carlo TV festival.

Episode 1
A slient movie through Irish

Episode 2

Sorry no subs. But to explain. ACT have an inspector in who is trying to reduce their budgets or cutting funding altogether, she has been sent by the minister. The employee she is interviewing is explain how he started at the very beginning of ACT, and initally it was going to be CAT which he liked, or Chomhairle Udaras Na Teanga CUN ..... but that was not suitable.

Elmo

Tongiht prob won't be as good, just as I recommend everyone take a look at TG4 at 10:30 tonight.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Another great episode tonight... Fantastic stuff...

TG4 are onto another winner here - they've really proved over the last couple of years that they're head and shoulders above RTÉ and TV3 for original comedy and drama, as well as documentaries, music and general entertainment...

I thought that Rasaí na Gaillimhe was absolutely fantastic. Such simple comedy, but yet so effective Will check out this new show now, thanks for the tip!

Not sure when it starts but it got funding from the BAI for a second series.

I think TG4 are going to start repeating Drama's during the summer months on Sunday nights at 10:30, replaces Ros Na Run for the summer months. Next Sunday Corp 's Anam is repeated.

Trenchman

An excellent programme.Genuinely funny,the one with the footballer on coke is on now and it's gas.
Anyway, seasúr a dó is on the way.....

Well it's been 5 years in between seasons, but just discovered today that An Crisis is back, now known as Crisis Eile...

It started last Tuesday at 9 and the first episode is on the TG4 player, with an episode a week, for I presume 6 weeks.
Ciarán and Emer are the only two characters from Season 1 that appeared in the first episode, but it looks like some other Season 1 alumni will be appearing in future episodes.

Bláthnaid Ní Chofaigh is playing the lead character this time around.

I think its 2 years old wasn't as good as the first series.
