    That Imelda May song ("Inside Out"). How many people would think of that as one of the big hits of 2011? I don't remember it at all.

    Was just going to post this.

    Didn't remember the song at all, and looking back on it now, her look back then was cringy.

    Then again I always get annoyed at the older Reeling of the Years when they have to show a Boomtown Rats video of a song no-one else recalls :D

    I went to check on something in the oven.
    Did they mention the plane crash at Cork airport?

    How could they leave out News of the World collapsing and Ireland qualifying for their 1st major soccer tournament in a decade, it was also a rugby world cup year, they've overdone the recession in these 2 episodes IMO would like a bit more pop culture, sport etc.

    Wonder will there be RTE player clips showing those moments

    all quiet iconic tbh

    Episode was a little disappointing when you realise all the stuff that was left out

    What was the editor thinking ?

    And the 'forgot you' song at the start was definitely from 2010, I came home from a J1 in August 2010 and i remember it been on the radio non stop.

    Elections make a huge part of the 80s episodes so can understand it.
    The 2011 presidential election campaign took up far too long.

    Would be a fairly depressing episode if you included Cork airport crash & Amy Winehouse death too.

    I don’t remember it myself but they always feature an Irish song that often isn’t considered that big a hit afaik

    Hopefully the scenes of unemployment lines and misery in 2011 makes people feel a little more grateful for the booming economy with full employment achieved just before Covid hit.

    What am i thinking, instead the young will continue to be ungrateful little brats and vote for thugs with terrorist/criminal connections.

    There was a couple of years in the 00s that seemed to be nothing but Westlife songs and celebrities. But I think that fact that the 00s were mostly a decade of vacant consumerist crap rather than being a sudden problem with the production of RITY

    I loved tonight’s episode. So thankful they got away from all that Louis Walsh muck. There were a good few episodes where boyzone, westlife and other crap from Louis Walsh seemed to take up half the episode.

    I agree with your second point, but I don't think the economy created by FG is anything to celebrate at the same time. What they have created in essence is a gig economy. And the HSE is still a mess. You are right though in your suggestion that the alternative is poor.

    Yeah, they should be grateful to be handing over more than half their wages to FF/FG-voting landlords.

    you can't fit in everything but you can devote less time to the recession and presidential campaign to fit it more.

    RTE love Miggledy-Piggeldy. They even engineered a fake tweet to help get him into the Aras. No surprise they will devote time to his victory

    Yeah nice thread, derogatory comment about a female politician and then another about a female musician. Looks like little has changed since the first run of the programme featuring the 1960s.

    The appearance of Armin Tamzarian on the thread cheered me up though.

    As I predicted it wouldn`t be. Not that big a story really.

    Most striking to me was that the episode did a poor job of conveying the anger and uncertainty of the time. Only a few seconds of footage of protests and scuffles.

    Well that episode certainly can't be accused of the same omission!


    2011 was notably more eventful than 2010 - you'd think Web Summit wouldn't have made the cut if it had been a year later! But I still think they could have made room for events like Bin Laden's capture and Steve Job's death. Someone else mentioned the plane crash in Cork that killed six people, which would have only taken up ten seconds. The Guard is one of the best Irish films of late, which would have added a bit of variety. Having won the Heineken Cup two years earlier, I didn't think the Leinster comeback win deserved inclusion ahead of the national team at the world cup.

    I'll respectfully disagree that was a huge story, the passing of Amy Winehouse and the crash of the Belfast to Cork flight not big stories either?

    RTE have only ever shown one Rugby World Cup clip on RITY which was when Ireland came close to beating Australia in the 1991 QF. I doubt there will be any in this series either.
