    Complete with a boring tosser doctor played by Mario Rosenstock acting like a Hugh Grant wannabe.

    Denny and Brennan were at the mart all day
    Fidelma has a gorgeous fella from the holliers.
    The word "my" didn't exist and was inexplicably replaced with "me"
    Miley said "Well holy god" a lot
    The drunk mullet lad wore double denmin
    Dick wore a suit and tie all day at home

    Bills
    Esb was 160
    Fuel was 220
    Phone was 105

    The devil and God were mentioned countless times.


    Where do I go with my life now? :(

    where did you watch it?

    Are there any box-sets available? They'd make a great Christmas gift. RTÉ should get onto this.

    I'd love to spend all Christmas evening on the sofa watching Glenroe, safe and sure in the knowledge that there was NO homework to be done, no SuperTed pyjamas to get into, and no school tomorrow.

    Watching 'The Sword of Sherwood Forest (1960) the other night, (I know, I know...there was feckall else on) and in a Village Tavern scene up pops two familiar faces from The Riordans.
    Sitting together were Mrs. Riordan's real life hubby John Hoey, alias 'Tinker fella' Francey Maher, and John Cowley, Mrs Riordan's on screen hubby Tom Riordan!
    'Francey' complaining as usual in his inner city Dublin / Oirish accent about the Sheriff of Nottingham's high Taxes, and 'Tom' saying 'Aye...Aye...Aye' a lot.
    Jeez, but they were both cringworthy awful

    It's strange to think that as much time seperates 2016 from 1992 as seperates 1992 from 1968. Like 1992 just seems like a poorer, primitive version of nowadays, without internet and smartphones etc. 1968 seems like a different world entirely to 1992. Maybe that's just me, and maybe if I thought longer about it I wouldn't even agree with myself :P

    Will anyone admit to having fancied Biddy?
    Biddy has to be the longest running unglamourous female lead in the history of television. She was such an absolute wagon of a character too. Like men have always gotten away with being average on tv but how did Biddy manage it in an era of Sue Ellen Ewing and Crystal Carrington ?
