Should Reeling in the years be axed ?

John Joe Jones

I really think 17 summers in a row is too long to be repeating the same program.

82 or 83 definitely shows people emigrating and talking about emigrating
"If I could just get the money together I'd be gone out of this country"

There's always one ne'er do-well

L1011

The 2000s ones were made too soon after the events. Hindsight would make them really rather different now - might be worth editing or remaking

Agreed, there should be at least 15 years between the year and the respective "reeling"

2000 to 2010 should have waited to have been made in 2020.

A decade should separate the making of each.

I understand the reason RTE rushed to make the '00's one (The popularity of the show) but Ireland changed so much between '08 to '10 that we are only seeing now in 2015 the long term affect of what happened during those boom years.

I would like to see the '00 series remade in 2020 when we should by then hopefully see what the impact of those years really have been.

In fairness, Reeling in the Years is a great show. I still watch it when it's on these days even after having seen the episodes numerous times

The bigger issue is that it's summer filler material for RTE. They only do a 30 minute Six-One program in the summer, the same at Easter and after Christmas.

RTE news and current affairs seems to take a large portion of July and August of every year off. I had a look at the schedules for this week for example - no current affairs programs on TV all week. It drives me mad - what other company would effectively down tools for a large portion of the year? Can they not arrange peoples' schedules so that not nearly everyone it seems is away on holidays at the same time? Do they think the world suddenly stops for 6 weeks? I think it's linked to the fact that the Dail is on holidays at the same time, but that's no justification.

People who think RITY should be axed, should have their balls axed.

What Current Affairs is there??? Newspapers have to do soft feature pieces to fill the pages.

Does that mean RITY doesn't go back to yours lol? I'm only a wee baby Eighties child!

God I love that programme - sadly enough, I got the DVDs of the 70's & 80's but they dont show half as much as the tv episodes - I think it has something to do with licensing unfortunately.

If anything should be axed from RTE it should be Fair City.

To be fair to RTE, it costs peanuts to make and is likely one of their highest rated shows. It's complete **** but it'd be stupid to get rid.

Make new episodes and maybe go further back in time.

Lack of archives is the problem, unless you want ones based on Pathe News or the Evening Press & Herald.

The earliest archives possible from RTE are December 31 1962 (Date of first broadcast). The 60s era was rumoured to be released some time around November 2014, but I'm not sure it ever made it.

In the back of my head I think I've seen the 60s version, but I'm not 100% sure. The RTE page hasn't been updated to include it.

They did have a special version entitled "A Week Of Welcomes" to commemorate the visits of President Obama & Queen Elizabeth in 2011 (that long already), who judging by the cover, were together the whole time

It's done in the same style but isn't an official "Reeling" title.

EDIT: Just checked KAT & the season 1962-1969 is there
