    It was the 'fair city' of its day. The local homgrown soap show that people watched on sunday nights. Now and then it would have a bit of a cliff-hanger - think 'JR' and who might have shot him sorta thing. I don't think it was ever really very good. But (correct me if I'm wrong) gabriel byrne got his start there(?).

    The dreaded Glenroe music meant that the weekend was nearly over - it was soon time for bed and then feckin' school again on Monday morning. Horrible.

    Damn you and your nostalgia OP. :mad:

    Fidelma was scarred for life after she had to rumble with Miley in the hay. She now does terrible ads for bags of food or something.

    The Glenroe theme tune was the sound of realising you haven't done your homework.

    Remember the time Stephen Brennan picked up some young ones on the side of the road and you could tell from the glint in his eye that he thought he was going to be getting jiggy with him but then they robbed him and left him on the side of the road. Classic!

    She was on the Late Late a few weeks ago with the hubby Frank McNamara (RTE musician) and (I think) a few of her kids. She's a barrister now, or something.

    There was one thing where a Dinny had a female greyhound andFR. Devereux had a male terrier, and the greyhound got pregnant. They stand there looking at the greyhound wondering how the terrier managed it. Dinny said 'Maybe he was standing on a bucket'.

    One good moment in umpteen years.

    Didn't Dinny go to confession as a way of telling Fr Devereux what had happened? And as penance he gave him something like 50 rosaries to say :D

    I remember it well back in the time when Mary was married to Michael and was having an affair with big Dick Moran.....she was beaten black and blue and we were all guessing who did it. Turn's out auld Michael did it. Then many years later when she was married to Dick..he went off and started shagging Terry Killeen.

    Remember Biddy with the perm, back when she was dying about Miley and he fancied Carol....as did Matt Moran who went on to bigger and better things in 'Rawhead Rex'(anyone else remember that?:D).

    Yeah back then there was fcuk all else on....'Spitting Image' was on after it..I got to stay up to watch it even though I couldn't understand the half of it.

    I remember that episode vividly - so clear that I know it was episode 9 of the first series - which means it was broadcast in November 1983.

    Mary lying on the floor of the house covered in bruises. My mother thought she was dead. "Murdered" she said to my father.

    Then the credits came and it was time for bed.

    Eurgh. hated that show primarily on the fact that it was like a huge bell ringing in the end of the weekend.

    Only thing I remember from that show was when Mary clocked Dick across the head with the fire poke and knocked him clean out :D

    My childhood memories of this might be foggy on this but I seem to recall watching eagerly the following week to see what happened next and it was a big anti-climax. Mary was going about her business as usual though no doubt covered in bruises. I was hoping for some sort of hullabaloo when she was on the floor

    spot on! Was expecting her to be hospitalised at best - and she seemed fine the following week...

    I used to beg my mam to be allowed to stay up to watch it on Sunday nights. It wasnt because I loved it or even liked it, it was just so I could have an extra half an hour or so up on a Sunday night before school the next day haha!
