    Didnt Darcy say a while back that a lot of the films were destroyed by fire or summit and that his mother had a good bit of the show recorded on vhs. Thats why the quality was so bad for a lot of it. Suppose thats the one thing we can be grateful to Mrs. Darcy for.

    RTE should make an appeal for everyone to check their video collection and send in copies. Id say between everyone a lot of the series would be covered.

    Great show, brought back lots of memories, however, the best line was when Dustin turned to President Mary Robinson and said, "Ah the bold Mareser, how's it goin?"

    Whist a while!

    RTE didn't record them they went out live and due to some financial restrictions they never recorded The Den. Also RTE possible considered The Den as part of their presentation unit rather then the Young People's Dept. So it is as unlikely that RTE recorded every time Thelma Mansfeild introduced a show in the early 1960s.

    There was a guy on the Den is Ten (1996) who recorded many of the shows, and AFAIK that is where much of the footage comes from.

    Whist a while! Part two of the YouTube clips.

    Ah Zig n Zag, hilarious. The funniest thing they ever did was when they used to come up real close to the camera, say nothing just put their face right up and look into it.

    PMSL :D
