Why are RTE showing killinaskully at a peaktime ?

killinaskully is 17 years old and RTE are repeating it in the same slot that it originally aired in back in 2004.

To milk the bejayzuz out of it. milk every last drop. Not the first time RTE resorted to this practice nor the last

absolute drivel of a show that belongs back in the 1970s

Same reason Joe Duffy's on the radio at peak time.

I think it's to give us a break from reeling in the years, but worry, come the summer reeling in the years will be back and killinascully will be waiting in the wings for another turn. The circle of life goes on.

A bit off topic but does anyone remember "On home ground" the rural drama that aired in this slot between Glenroe and killinaskully? It's a wonder they didn't dig that up

Time to strain the spuds, Dieter.

Sure, BBC One showed Fawlty Towers in prime time not too long ago.

They probably recorded over the original tapes with the Lotto draws. They actually recorded over original recordings of Glenroe, the mind boggles.

I just think it looks very cheap of RTE to be showing it at the same time it debuted in back in 2004. Imagine if back in 2004 where in the world with Marty Whelan from 1988 was shown at that time?
