    Anyone see this program, it was on real late Saturday night. Some irish version of Magnum P.I. or something. It's hilarious, really **** actors, made early 90's I'd say in Dublin. Some well dodgy haircuts and shirts. Its in English.
    They're like this elite police group, called the G-force, cleaning up the streets of Dublin.
    Anyone else seen this or know more about it, its worth seeing for the laugh!

    I thought the purpose of TnaG was to show programmes in IRISH!!!!!! Why was it showing this English language programme anyway???:confused:

    Could that program have been on that Dublin Channel, I think it's called CityTV, used to be called LINK? I remember watching it on that channel on Friday night around 11ish.

    Ah, I think its fair enough. Id say theres a huge increase in people tuning in if they have a program in English. Ive noticed them playin some great films, usually older classics. Its is a bit hypocritical but I dont mind at all.

    The last series of that G-Force program was on last night, I had to watch it all, its so good in a really ****ty way!

    if it was half as comical as Magnum PI itself it must have been worth watching at least once :)

    on the subject of TG4 and English language programming. i too have wondered why they do this. i thought the whole of the channels output was for Irish language programming. i have seen quite a lot of programmes and films "as Béarla" sneaking in. the more viewers the better i suppose

    It's always been that way, Mossy, but I wish the scheduling was like S4C. 6pm-10pm wall-to-wall Irish. Anything outside of that is at their discretion.

    The present situation, Iriish programme, Bearla flick, Irish programme at 11:45pm frankly baffles me!

    on the subject of TnaG, when they show Dail Question Time, is it all in English, or are there Irish subtitles, the way there would be if it was, say, in French? (Although the rubbish they talk in Dail Eireann, it may as well be in French anyway!!!)
