RTE Television - 50 Years

Deise Tom

With RTE 50 years old next year, does anyone know if they have plans to show some of their better programmes over the years, Bosco and Wanderly Wagon for the young and the not so young, Glenrow, The Riordans, Bracken, Fair City (all as far back as possible) for the soap lovers, visits of heads of states from the past that were covered live, anything realy that people enjoyed watching over the years, but not too much of Gay Byrne. Guess they will have him doing as much as possible next year.

No doubt they'll have some documentary of the last 50 years of RTE, with clips from the shows. It's unlikely they'll show older shows though.
