    A bit tighter than the first episode, Dustin cracking me up...

    It's amazing how little of a step each of them has lost. Dustin hasn't been on TV for years but is as funny as ever.

    Even the guests are good. The Mary Wallopers and CMAT are exactly the right kind of performers to bring on as they'll play along with the comedy. The show even made Joanne Mcnally tolerable, which is quite an achievement.

    They should do a glenroe skit at the end after the credits and dress up and get a character back thats alive and throw in an aul "well holy god" for good measure.

    Dustin has ruled out the Den returning full-time, but has said that they might do some kind of Christmas special each year. That'd be great.

    No socky? Or Zuppy?!

    The 2 most irritating puppets they ever had on the show, good move to not include I'd say. Podge and Rodge however should have cameos [don't know if they have or not, not watched it] - Like someone said, don't want the childhood memories ruined, and over the years I came to despise D'arcy

    Zuppy was alright because he didn't really do anything. He'd just pop in and zoom about a bit now and then. Soky, on the other hand, I don't think that puppet ever had a funny line. While the other regular puppets could be very subversive and fairly sophisticated in their humour, Soky always seemed made to pander to the under-5s.

    I associate Soky more with the later Den era which was past my time. I remember him as an occasional guest when I watched it, but later he was a permanent fixture and on in the morning with Geri Maye. I didn't mind him as an occasional appearance but he was not enjoyable as a main character - but probably more aimed at the small kids. Zuppy was grand. I hope Soky doesn't feature in this revival.

    Agreed. Now, Don Conroy, on the other hand, it would be great to get him on. Also, maybe they could do something with Simon Young? I know he's had his ups and downs, but I think he's in a bit of a better place now. Maybe just to have him on a Zoom call for a bit of reminiscence.

    If it were a normal TV series, I'd say not to go too hard on the nostalgia, but seeing as this is a limited run of seven episodes, I say feck it. And put on California Dreams instead of Fair City. Much better standard of acting.

    Captain pillowcase, is he a Klan member?
    It was acceptable in the 80s.

    My wife and I are really enjoying it and our 5 and 2 year old too. The 5 year old was asking for more and didn't like the idea of having to wait for new episodes.
    Cheer up the nation TV.

    I imagine some other characters might show up over the remaining episodes. Ted, Podge and Rodge etc.

    Between the Den being back on, as well as Animaniacs, I have to say I really hope I get that new Sega Megadrive this Christmas.

    I just thought Zuppy was pointless, and socky ... jaysis, most irritating puppet ever! But, I understand we're all different so I'll let it go :D
