    Jesus H Christ. The romantic interlude with Johnny Macaroni. We were a terribly impoverished country trying to make our way. The pity of it all. Actually sad now for those who had to survive in such a bleak world.

    The Break dancers in Limerick had me in stitches laughing.
    I love Reeling in the years.

    I wonder why it can't be shown on RTE1+1

    Doesn't really make sense :confused::confused:

    Think it's to do with fees charged by the providers, it doesn't get shown on RTÉ Player either.

    I recently had a trawl of YouTube looking for Reeling in the Years. There's a few episodes on it, although my favourite has always been 1994 (22 years later and I'm still a sucker for the first Riverdance in the Eurovision interval)

    I was watching nationwide about the 1930's and 40's dance hall: ballroom of romance! Mind you 1984 was pretty bleak too.

    The Guards going around in a Ford Sierra in tonights episode.

    Seriously though the place looked fairly bleak in 1984, I was only 10 at the time but from tonights episode it looked like every place was shutting down and there was zero chance of getting a job.

    The "millennials" who think they have it so hard should look at this programme.

    Presume it's due to the royalties, from the music throughout the show. RTE would have to pay again for any music featured.

    The 2000-2009 episodes were fairly shite it has to be said.

    Modern life is rubbish as the Blur album quite rightly suggests

    I'll admit it occasionally brings a tear to the eye. Especially around Italia 90. No idea why.

    Because it's fecking excellently edited which RTE rarely do (they did for the 2002 World Cup highlights too - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKw3EO3xpQc ). Reeling in the Years is a bit of an RTE oddity like that. :D



    Loads of episodes on Youtube by the way.

    Anybody have any of the tv broadcasts in video file format they are willing to share please? Cant find the DVDs for sale anywhere online and even then those versions are missing alot apparently due to copyright issues. Thanks

    There's a healthy torrent of 1962-2009. Probably against boards rules to link it but the "infohash" is 55146F8BE6689B57E401479824B3E589A0B4A478

    Its great to look back on a time before everyone had a smartphone, selfies did not exist, no one used social media.life seems more simple.pop
    music was different, there was not 30 music channels ,or youtube.life looks more simple,
    not so materialistic. There were no ghost estates ,
    you worked or were on the dole or you left the country,
    you did not work as an intern for 50 euros.
    maybe people were not so obsessed with brand names ,
    eg 100 euro trainers .
    its the best show rte makes, theres not a dull or wasted moment.
    its like take year x , greatest hits of this year, the most interesting things that happened in the year.
    it could be used in a history class .
    look at the 80,s ,90s, irish people in general dress better now.
    before the celtic tiger people drove cars 10-20 years old.

    The latter ones (2000'd) aren't as good, I'm assuming different editors working on them.

    I think they should do it every year rather than ten

    I forget the year, but there is an episode which ends with a focus on emigration - loads of people waiting for buses and planes to the UK/USA, and the music is Mary Black singing 'As I leave behind Neidin'.

    It's really haunting stuff.

    I was just going to post about this. 1986.

    It's the young lad with the lisp getting on the bus to London who says he has no skills and he will hope for the best. Poignant and depressingly sad.

    Do those rose tinted glasses not give you a headache?

    "Either you were on the dole, or worked or left the country...a simpler life". Yeah because we all know how easy it is moving country. And its even simpler when you cant find and book accommodation before you go. And its even simpler again when youve no money and no marketable skills.

    Yes music was better, but in those days music piracy was when you recorded songs off the radio. When a song came out that you liked you had to save up for six weeks to buy the album and then a week later the tape machine chewed up the tape, you couldnt go onto iTunes and buy it for €1.

    People werent so materialistic because many people didnt have two pennies to rub together.

    No there werent interns on 50 euro a week but there was also no minimum wage so there were people out there working for £1 an hour - or even less. The minimum wage came in in the year 2000 and was set at £4.40.

    Now dont get me wrong, Reeling in the Years is one of my favourite TV programs, but most days I end up feeling a bit melancholy after watching it. Not wistfully looking back to a simpler time.

    I guess it'll be only a matter of time before there's a Reeling Out The Years that shows us the news of the future.
