    Does anyone remember the name of the programme that used to be on every Sunday afternoon on Network 2 ( I think) in the 90's ? it ran for about 3 hours each week and showcased international theatre, ballet and opera. I'd love to see footage of it again and its wreaking my head that I cant remember what it was called.

    This was driving me mad so I looked up RTE archives and found listings from the rte guide in 1991, the show was called "Festival" - does anyone remember this?

    Yeah I vaguely remember it. Back when RTE could actually say that they were supporting the arts, a claim thats laughable now even though they still use that slogan

    An opera in the afternoon, and a concert at night

    Think it might have began late 70's. Certainly was running all through the 80's.
