Offspring

Does anyone know if RTE will be showing the new series of Offspring. It was on rte 2 sunday nights, in the middle of the night. Really enjoyed the show.

That was a repeat. It was originally shown last year on RTE1 on a Sunday afternoon (starting at the end of February).

Hopefully they intend showing the second series soon.

Jeez thought it would have been too raunchy for a Sunday afternoon audience
:eek:

Offspring is back on RTÉ Two at 2:15am on Monday 29th April.

No information is given about it but I presume it will be the second season.

SimpsonsFan

Thanks Brian for that. Looking forward to watching it

Christ no wonder they are losing money. Buying brand new programmes and putting them on at times when only night workers and insomniacs can watch them.

I was looking at the TV guide a while back and saw I great movie, "Great lets watch that" I said, only to realise it started at 5 to midnight on a week night.

The Sky + app says season 3...
Hope not, unlikely they aired s2 already and we missed it, think between us someone on Boards would've spotted it starting

Anyway, Sky+ set to record

No the season that rte showed a few months back was season 2, its season 3 we're waiting on. Check the series guide out online and you'll see.

Btw when I used sky+ it, it used always cut out before the program ended so I record the program on after it too just in case ;-)

Buying them up so TV3 can't.
"Who cares what time we put them on at"
The crutch of the licence fee continues.

I was enjoying the New Zealand drama "Outrageous Fortune" on TV3 (they showed 3 seasons) when it was dropped for Play TV.

That was then replaced with Psychics Live.

I would imagine TV3 is busy searching for the next big money-maker rather then buying quality Antipodean drama.

Season 2 it is. I'm glad I didn't miss it.

Good stuff, hopefully Sky+ did its magic during the night and I have it to look forward to this evening!

Well there are at least 2 posters here happy with the repeat showing of the 2nd season.

Hopefully the third season won't be too far behind.

Over a year later but never mind, season 3 starts on RTE1 at 2:00am on Friday 15th August.

I'm afraid I couldn't wait anymore so found some Aussie cousins who sent it to me and I've watched up to end of Season 4!
No spoilers but not sure I want to watch S5 which is currently airing in Oz due to the story direction in S4, was really annoyed

I posted that in the Irish Premiere Dates thread.

I got tired waiting for RTE so I got the DVD's off Amazon.

Season 7 aired in Australia last year but there will be no season 8 this year.

Maybe next year.

I watched all 7 seasons on Netflix....what a great show. Disappointing there won't be a season 8 yet....hopefully it does come back though!!
