    I am trying tofind a memory. I've always known the name the National Film Board of Canada, but do you know when RTE stopped showing their films. I was born in 1995, and in the late 90s/early 2000s, I have a strange semi-memory of seeing their stuff possibly on RTE but may have been BBC2, but can't remember what. Was it used as filler as late as then?

    I remember RTE used their films as filler a lot in the 80's, not so sure about the time period you mention. Do you remember any particular films or what they were about?

    No, I don't. I just remember the logo.

    Yes...
    Did they turn up on TG4?
