Just watching it too. They were brilliant characters!

Why is the quality of the picture so bad, I know we didn't have HDTV back then but it was better than this!

It's been pulled off VHS which has been sitting in some storeroom in RTE for 20 years, so there's no way it's going to be great quality

Worse, it is tape which came from a viewer.

I'm glad they showed it anyway. Great memories. They did some good things with the format.

Sharpshooter · 27-10-2008 08:07PM

yep
The only footage of Dempsey's Den / The Den from its inception (1986) until around 1993 is amateur off-air VHS recorded by a fan of the show. Thankfully, he was so religious in his taping that the complete series exists.

Saturday 8th November, everyone remember to tune in to Tubridy Tonight! Looks like Zig and Zag could be making a comeback!

It was great to watch that again. Zig and Zag were just brilliant. Hilarious stuff.

Acid_Violet · 27-10-2008 09:50PM

Podge locking up Santa still scares me a bit today....even though it was still obvious to a seven year old that it's just for telly, it still scared me and I was so happy when Santa came back. Ah, the magic of the Den.....
