    It was the 'fair city' of its day. The local homgrown soap show that people watched on sunday nights. Now and then it would have a bit of a cliff-hanger - think 'JR' and who might have shot him sorta thing. I don't think it was ever really very good. But (correct me if I'm wrong) gabriel byrne got his start there(?).

    The dreaded Glenroe music meant that the weekend was nearly over - it was soon time for bed and then feckin' school again on Monday morning. Horrible.

    Damn you and your nostalgia OP. :mad:

    Fidelma was scarred for life after she had to rumble with Miley in the hay. She now does terrible ads for bags of food or something.

    The Glenroe theme tune was the sound of realising you haven't done your homework.

    Remember the time Stephen Brennan picked up some young ones on the side of the road and you could tell from the glint in his eye that he thought he was going to be getting jiggy with him but then they robbed him and left him on the side of the road. Classic!

    She was on the Late Late a few weeks ago with the hubby Frank McNamara (RTE musician) and (I think) a few of her kids. She's a barrister now, or something.

    yes tv was crap back then,

    I don't agree.

    Golden age of television was 1960 - 1989.

    I wonder what was on after Glenroe in those days (The news obviously but after the news). Everybody seems to have gone to bed strraight after Glenroe. Our parents were keeping some glorious secret!
