    Have seen adverts on this on Sky and must say it looks somewhat funny - Chris O' Dowd is brilliant and Steve Coogan seems to be in it too.
    Sean (O'Dowd) is the imaginary friend of 10-year-old Martin Moone, the youngest child of a family living in a small town in Ireland. Martin has a unique perspective on life aided by an imaginary friend. His imagination comes into play both in his childish drawings, which come alive through animation, and in the ridiculous schemes he comes up with, against Sean's better judgement. With Sean's help, Martin negotiates life as the youngest in a chaotic, scatter-brained family.

    It's going to be shown on Sky One not Atlantic so it will most probably be muck!

    Set in a small town in Ireland in 1989,
    Moone Boy follows the antics of the youngest member of the Moone family, 11
    year old Martin Moone (David Rawle). Martin has a unique perspective on life
    aided by an imaginary friend, Sean Murphy, played by Chris O'Dowd. Martin's
    imagination comes into play both in his childish drawings, which come alive
    through animation, and in the ridiculous schemes he comes up with, against
    Sean's better judgement. With Sean's help, Martin negotiates life as the
    youngest in a chaotic, scatter-brained family helmed by Debra (Deirdre O’Kane)
    and Liam (Peter McDonald). Johnny Vegas, Steve Coogan, Simon Delaney, Maeve
    Higgins, Ruth McCabe, and Norma Sheahan also appear in the
    show.

    Very good cast all round quite looking forward to it

    Who's going to tune in tonight? Chris O'Dowd was on Newstalk for my drive home and I must say it does sound decent enough.

    I might have been a bit hasty, he wasn't that bad, there was just one or two chringy scene that I thought he was bad in, overall not great not bad, say a 6/10

    I've been thinking that but I tend to think most things are that, and I'm trying to work on my cynicism, so glad it's not just me
