    Anybody remember this made for TV movie and the spin-off DDU series? I was out of the country at the time and missed it completely. It wasn't released on VHS/DVD as far as I can ascertain. I've just bought a copy of the book and would very much like to track down a copy of the movie. PM me if you like.

    Thanks in advance. :)

    “Making the Cut” (1998) (105 mins) Crime. RTÉ TV movie.

    Sean McGinley, Andrea Irvine, Alan Archbold, Brendan Gleeson, Bosco Hogan, Gerard McSorley, Owen Roe, Aaron Harris. Director: Martyn Friend. Based on the novel of the same name by Jim Lusby.

    Waterford, southern Ireland. A Saturday night in October during a dock strike. A wino looking for a place to sleep breaks into a cargo container full of peat moss. But there’s already someone else in residence, wrapped in a bin-bag, head protruding from a tear in one end, a rough X carved on his face.

    Unshaven, unorthodox and unpopular with his superiors, Detective Inspector Carl McCadden (Sean McGinley) must figure out exactly what Billy Power, keeper of greyhounds, and Jack-the-Lad about Waterford - was involved in, and why he had to die. But straight answers about Power, or anything else for that matter, are hard to come by…

    See also shortlived spin-off series DDU (1999).

    I was an extra in that in the meat factory scene. Shot in Sandyford Meats, I used to be a butcher. There was a quick shot of two butchers working away at the block, I was in the background with a big red smiley head on me. :D


    They were there for 3 days shooting about a minutes worth of footage. The main actor in the scene playing a butcher, cant remember his name, was cutting meat using a saw and made shíte of loads of it. The boss was going nuts. :p


    My one claim to fame! :D


    I haven't seen it since it was originally aired. Let me know if you source a copy JD!!
