Afraid not...i helped organise 15 years of scripts (from the beggining up till the time i was there) into a coherant resource for the newer writers (so i was able to see all the storylines develop from the start). Also helped to edit an episode once with the director and producer.

*stares in awe at RuggieBear*

I remember finding Glenroe on the telly when I was living in exile in the UK, made me so homesick I'd to stop watching it ...

If it was back on yeh would watch it, totally agree there should be an Irish Gold channel.

"Hey, where the **** can I find the lyrics for "Byroad to Glenroe"? I had the song on tape -I actually bought the single- many many years ago. The tape is long gone but I still remember the song quite well, I can't think of all the lyrics, so I'd like to find them. Google was no help really.

Can anyone help me out?"

Went summit like, and her hair shone red as the berry on the rowan, her skin was white as the white upon the snow oh how can I forget the moment that I met her, by the side of the hill to the by road to Glenroe..

Well something along those lines anyway..

i think RTE should have a type of 'gold' channel just like they do in the uk just to show all those old ****ty programs from the 80's. i know they were crap but i bet a lot of people would tune into them just for nostalgia more than anything else. probably be better than the crap thats on RTE lately anyway!

what a brilliant idea!they could put the riordans on too and wanderly wagon.i'd love all those old quiz shows as well such as quicksilver.

Bump...

An episode of Glenroe from March 1994:

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Apologies for the lack of opening or end credits.

Apologies accepted since at that stage they had switched from the iconic original opening theme to the more downbeat, sped up later version.

Having watched the original credits on YouTube recently (there's a link somewhere on Boards...) it struck me that they reminded me of Dallas, for some odd reason...

I still miss Glenroe. Would love if they brought it back.

They should have re-vamped the series.

Spiritoftheseventies · 16-05-2010 10:09pm

Dick Moran was such a charmer.

rogercar · 17-05-2010 11:54pm

Wonder will they ever bring it back, or something similar?

johngalway · 18-05-2010 12:46am

What was the episode with Dinny selling fresh eggs, but someone went and hard boiled a few and he got found out?

Hum it, ye know ye want to

There was one line it that always bugged me. Biddy had been away and she was asked "Did you enjoy London"
And she replied "Yeah we went to see Cats"
Just annoyed me intensely.

I hated Glenroe with a passion. In the eighties, the music was synonymous with me going into a deep depression with the thought of school again on Monday. For me it signalled the end of the weekend.

Edit:
Sorry, just saw Larianne's similar post!

Glenroe and murphys micro quizim was an institution for me on a sunday night as a child but yes I agree it signalled the end of the weekend I use to go to bed after the news and the news was only 15min on a sunday so i hated the news more....

No but i did get to see miley and dinney do a scene in the pub.....dinney pulled an almighty primadonna strop about being left to long in the studio lights (admitedly those tv lights are very warm)

Hi, Can you settle an argument?
Did the word "feck" appear in Glenroe scripts?

thanks

I think Dinny might have used it from time to time but I may be wrong.

I remember there was an actor from Tralee where I'm from who played the dishy newcomer, Conor maybe? (think he scored with Fidelma). I remember the women in Tralee used to swoon over him if he turned up in one of the bars at the time. Whatever happened to him?? Can't even remember his real name now!
