Lurching between mildly funny (15%) to downright shite (85%) but you knew that already.
I’ve switched over to Joe Donal now.
I enjoyed his Claire Byrne and his Leo Varadker. Mostly shite though
The casting of Suzie McAdam as a ten year old girl was quite funny.
Watched 10 minutes and it was mind numbing shite
I then throught to myself is this what we are reduced to as a nation that
A) this is the level of political satire
B ) a lot of people are stuck inside watching this tonight

You’re overthinking it… Do what Fagan did… Turn over.
Thank fuck most of the county is having a house party. This is tough going
I said I watched for 10 minutes - those two thoughts are generally embedded in me
Joe Donal was one hell of a showman.
Saw this earlier. It’s well worth catching on the player. Some amazing footage of old Dublin in it taken by Leslie Crowe, a fireman and amateur cameraman. The sort of programme Roy Curtis should be writing poems about.

It genuinely had me welling up by the end of it.
An amazing document of what was lost.
I learnt how the Swiss Cottage pub in Santry got its name
I watched that earlier. Great footage of Dublin in the 60s. There was a clip from Dollymount looking up to Howth. It was astounding how little development there was in Howth. Also the footage on the Howth Tram was exceptional.
There was a shot of Dublins shortest street. Canon St near St Patricks Cathedral which consisted of one building, the pub the Aviary. There was a bird market at the back of it. The street was demolished to make way for that much needed 6 lane highway.
