The not very extensive description in the 'Irish Independent' was 'Farmers and Craftsmen'.

Here's part of the 18 January episode. https://www.rte.ie/archives/2022/0105/1270988-hearth-and-household/

Gleaned from the irish Times archive. Details of these early programmes are scant because the IT didn't really consider television a serious art form.If RTE were to digitise the RTE Guide there'd be more detail (as the BBC did for the Radio Times).

On a similar note the British Newspaper Archive website has many issues of the TV Times available to view. Currently they have from the launch issue in September 1955 to the end of 1980 but at some point they will be adding later editions.

Full access to the website involves a subscription but they have an "on this day" feature where you can view a complete issue from the date in question. It's a random selection but if you refresh the page you can see other issues from the same date. https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/titles/tv-times

So that was 1967 RTÉ. Great.

Jump to approx 15 years later and guess what programmes RTÉ spewed out a nauseum

Daktari, The Virginian and I love Lucy 😀

Looks like they made an investment in the 60s and carried the same programming through to the late 70s early 80s

jacool · 10-02-2026 10:15AM

Two things.

I think I speak for many people here when I say "I miss Closedown". Took the edge off the day nicely.
@Oscar_Madison Daktari brings back memories. I used to go to Dublin for a week's holidays in the summer and one of the thrills was getting to watch Daktari, but I'm guessing it was on the BBC.

jacool · 10-02-2026 10:21AM

Had to google the rugby match 11Mar1967

A cracker, no doubt!

George White · 10-02-2026 11:16AM

NNote Aside from the BBC Sunday classic versions of Lorna Doone and the Count of Monte Cristo with Alan Badel (RTe regularly bought the BBC Sunday classic), so few British drama and no UK sitcoms. Aside from the Good Old days, it is all docs or educational shows like Parliamo Italiano. Compare with ten years later.

It reminds me of CBC schedules of the era.

While it might have been on the BBC, it was definitely on RTÉ 1 Saturday mornings in either late 70s or early 80s but as we’ve seen from the above 1967 listings, it was there too-

jacool · 10-02-2026 11:31AM

Thanks for clarifying. Part of the "holiday highlight" was the fact that I could watch it in my PJs and have breakfast in the sitting room, as there were no house rules in Dublin!! I thought I was mis-remembering, so thanks for that!!
