    Wasn't the guy who played the main characters brother murdered in a gangland style attack?

    The fat guy? I seem to remember there was some fracas outside a nightclub with a baseball bat. It turned out after that he was in the Real IRA.

    He died of a heart attack after taking cocaine and trying to beat up someone in a minicab office. He was a member of the Real IRA. But to answer the original question, no he did not did in a gangland hit. Poor fella still lived with his ma in the box room.

    The singer of the theme tune was Ronan Johnston, who sounded a lot like Paddy Reilly

    You thought an Irish comedy was rubbish? You're a self-loather.

    Another term that gets slung about at anything and everything.

    I quite fondly remember this travesty. Enda Oates' character was named Barreler and he was like a watered down version of The Fonz from Happy Days.
