    My first memory of Glenroe (must have been about 8 so 32 years ago) and one that stuck with me because it showed the difference between the classes. It was in a petrol station and Miley and Dick Byrne pulled in at the same time. Miley in a banger and Dick in a silver mercury. Dick through the keys at the attendant and said fill her up and turned to talk to Miley. Miley quietly said to the attendant embarassingly 2 pound.

    Don’t know why I remember it so strongly now but I often think about it randomly.

    Gabriel Byrne appeared in one episode, reprising his role as Pat Barry, Miley's friend from Bracken

    Here's an early-ish episode, or at least it seems to be the earliest full episode online. A lot of vaguely remembered faces in the supporting cast.

    Remember Blackie Connors mother, played by Moira Deady who was also in the Riordans?

    Yes, great actor playing a very annoying character. Remember his "Australian" wife with the laughably unconvincing aussie accent? She was thankfully only in it for a short time, I'd cringe whenever she opened her mouth, can't recall who played her.

    No she was Spanish. It was Sylvie (David Kelly) that had gone to Australia and made a fortune selling dodge Burgler Alarms. Then they introduced Teasy and Sylvies dodgy son.

    No problem. They were both legendary actors in a megre show. Sylvies wife/widow came back to Glenroe and too a shine to Rory (as a adopted son) and with the failure of the chipper, she too Rory back to Australia with her.

    Sylvie's wife from Australia was Rhoda Dolan, played by Gladys Sheehan. Not really clear if she was actually supposed to be Australian. She appears here from 14:23.
