Tonight's TV - Continuation of earlier drivel

Stardust doc is a tough watch but excellent

Jesus. They made the scarred female victims strip in front of 3 male judges so they could ‘assess the damages’.

The dignity of the survivors and the bereaved families is remarkable.

The missus saw this and said it’s best Irish documentary she’s seen

She said she had never really known about it but it was clear they treated who they saw as lower class people as gobshites who’d be happy with money to pay their electricity bill. It’s Irish Hillsborough where they blamed the dead.

We really ran a shit country for a long time after independence. Paddy treated Paddy the way the Brits did until we managed to get educated. Fee second level education is why we eventually got to where we are now.

A very sombre Against The Head after coming on here after the football.

Very sonbre. Jackman looks down. Very down.

‘No Stone Unturned’ on RTE 1 now. 2022 documentary on the 1994 Loughlinisland Massacre on its 30th anniversary.

Shocking but not surprised by the cover-up.

The RUC/PSNI were/are some bunch of boyos. Good job no one of that mindset will ever work at a senior level in a police force outside of the 6 counties, god knows the damage they could do….

On big screen next weekend in some Omniplexes i believe

I’ll never forget the fright I got the first time I saw it in the cinema.

I had a lad in my class this year who is obsessed with that movie, the other day he told me that the sequels were ruined by showing the shark too much, the best thing about Jaws he says is that you hardly ever see the shark

Make of that what you will :man_shrugging:

I had to check and make sure it wasn’t St Stephens Day…

Just watched the first 2 episodes of this. @flattythehurdler i think you would really enjoy this. A feel of The Detectorists off it. The English countryside looks tremendous. Beautiful music and the 2 lads have some lovely gentle banter going.
