Anyone remember it? It was broadcast around November 1993 with repeats (or maybe a second series) during the The End late-night comedy strand in 1994. It was a very short faux-fifties TV show consisting of some creepy bloke doing a voiceover on arbitrary stock footage purportedly showing Irish youths training for some grand (usually ludicrous) enterprise ("the plan is that by 1970 Ireland will lead the world in...")
The theme tune was the old standard Perfidia, which otherwise had nothing to do with the show. It was rather disturbing and surreal, but very funny. Curiously, I can't find anything at all on the net about it. Just wondering if anyone else recalls it or can find clips?
I remember it. Damned if I can remember the presenter. No help to you OP but I th8nk there was a bit of a golden age in RTÉ From early 90s to about the late 90s. Shows like THE end, Night Hawks and the comedy inserts in them. It was great tv, and cheap too I’d say. I miss that stuff though, 20 plus years on it mightn’t be my th8ng anymore really!

It’s come back to me. Presenter was John Keogh. Think he was a producer in the main for RTÉ.
