    They could easily make a new one for each year. Plenty more stories to show.

    Not sure if the OP is aware, but something just being on TV, there's not an obligation to watch it.

    Make new episodes and maybe go further back in time.

    A lot of the early 60s stuff seemed to be from the Gael-Linn archives, the All-Irelands in colour were. If RTE kept recordings of them at all (did they even televise them at all in those days?) they would have been B/W.

    Lots of stuff in the 60s went out live and wasn't recorded, and lots of recordings from the 60s and 70s were wiped (by most broadcasters, not just RTE) - lots of Wanderly Wagon was wiped!

    Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.

    Reeling in the years starts from 1962 because RTE doesn't have any archives from before that year they said,the channel was only launched in 1962 I believe.this is why they don't go further back in time with the program.

    31/12/1961 much of the early 1960s comes from gealinn and ifi archives they could us them for 1960 and 1961.

    It is repeated too much.

    I think the viewing figures will outweigh your thoughtful critique.

    "Because its sh1te." That's deep.

    It's lucky for television networks so that people enjoy watching sh1te.

    Being not a native Irish person, I actually love it to get a good glimpse of past Irish history and culture.

    Newmug take a warning. This isn't After Hours and we expect more reasoned argument here.

    I think Reeling in the Years is a well made programme and I enjoy it. I think people get a bit frustrated because it's usually shown too often as filler when Rte news is done to skeleton service every august. It should be scheduled more imaginatively but I will leave that up to the experts in RTE

    Or even remake the episodes to show other events that are more relevant to now. I'm sure they must have enough material to show and is worth showing. Some of the scandals are only now coming to light.
