Irish TV shows

erica74

Hi all

A friend of mine over in the US caught a quick glimpse of the first episode of Bracken and loved it. She asked me to recommend more Irish TV shows. So far I have:

Obviously, Bracken
Glenroe
The Riordans
Ros na Rún (for the Irish speaking)

Is there anything else? I don't think there's very many shows but I'm just wondering if there's another couple that I've missed?

Thanks:)

The Cassidys, that should teach her.

Soupy Norman is possibly the best home made* thing I've seen on Irish TV. Surreal and fcken hilarious.

*Of course by Home Made, I mean foreign show dubbed over by Irish comedians. I know Barry Murphy from Apres Match was involved, not sure who else was.

Ballykissangel was also the BBC. However I think it’s what the op’s friends are liking for.

I'm not even being sarcastic when I say that for pure entertainment value, Quizone is one of the best things RTE has ever produced.

On Home Ground, The Clinic and Batchelors Walk great shows. Oh how could I forget Bosco.

dublinman1990

The Tudors from TV3.

Irish Guitarist

Probably not the kind of thing you're looking for but there was a series called 'Hands' on RTE years ago (late seventies to early eighties I think). There are some full versions of it on YouTube.

the Angelus . I dont see it to often but it seems to revolve around outdoor stuff . A lot of the episodes seem to be about fellas out fishing , doing sand sculpture and planting flowers

Who the hell is behind Striking Out?

Because that's exactly how life is in Dublin- penthouse apartments, not a junkie in sight and no rubbish on the street.

The weather.... Great fun every night and been running for years.

I'd slip in the sally O'Brien ad, and the ahhhh that's bass ad too not forgetting the carling black lable ad. All classics.

Don't forget this one too.

Love/Hate, i'd see it would be a huge success if it were aired in the United States.

Are Am Eye

Harbour Hotel.


Of those mentioned, I'll add my endorsement for Forty Coats and the Irish RM.

jooksavage

Couched.

Surreal sketch show from 2000. Fairly patchy, occasionally brilliant and without a doubt one of the weirdest thing RTE has produced.
