Zig & Zag - Christmas Crisis (Part 2/4)

[hughmcarthy]

I now realise the genenis of all my fears and anxiety in life started at Podge. Scary ...

[hughmcarthy]

Why is it I'm laughing at this more at the age of 26 than when I was 8. LOL

[TheEwalsh1000]

podge is so scary he nerly gave a hert a tack

[mischa12]

why do they never have anything like this on at Christmas any more? love it!

[pmcn05]

Podge looks like 'Jigsaw'!

[tuanageF]

The Gardai and Santa!/......

[clairemsh]

I love how Ray just bursts out laughing at bits!!!! This is so much better than any kids programes now!!!

[mjgc8755]

POSTMAN PATRICK! The bastard...

Zag makes Ray laugh the whole time!

[Ormond1]

I was 9. Dont know what i got for Christmas that year, but i do remember this.

[triseke87]

I love how ray just keeps laughing!

[TheDecemberBread]

his severe lack of acting skills just add to the hilarity of it all!!!.....nothing like the christmas crisis to put you in the christmas mood!!!!!

[cmf1986]

"Scent of man". Brilliant. Was 6 years old when this was broadcast. PintTurtle, you are a scholar and a gent.

[kentrel2]

Anyone have the Christmas special featuring.... Ze Phantom Ticklers!!

[Tagemandbagem]

Anyone remember the Garda cracking up when having to describe a statue stolen from The George pub on Crimeline?

[FrJoe]

When I was a kid the crimeline bit convinced me this was real.

[Tagemandbagem]

"Not even in *1994*!"

[boru25]

Remember when Irish television made more of an effort for kids in Ireland. Aside from the Late Late Toy show, they forgotten the REAL spark.

[FrJoe]

Pat Kenny made an arse of the toy show I think.

[boru25]

You think? I thought it was the same as always.

[FrJoe]

Nah. Gay byrne had more of a childish spirit. You could see pat kenny reading the lines with no emotion.

[sarahclare]

yeah exactly and he's dreadful with kids

[joezep37]

actualy genious!

[clairemsh]

I spent the scary bit where Podge is being evil hiding under the dinner table!!! I was only four then...but he still scares me & i remember this so well!!! LOVE IT!!!

[banshalad]

THIS IS GENIUS!!!!

[DionysusJPower]

Ah, good old podge. I think the fact he scared the shit out of us as kids made the podge and rodge show so great to watch as adults

[bestirishfirefighter]

Still remember this on Christmas Day 1992. Loved Rays reaction!

Thank u very much 4 putting this up.

[Itslikebooomheadshot]

Ray don't be so upset! You'll choke yourself on the cornflakes! haha

Ray couldn't help himself, haha

[clairebear8]

love how good of an actor Ray is!!haha!!

[planstore]

Ray has a different shirt for the emergency packing....

They really should try to put stuff this good on for the youngsters these days.

[Ormond1]

"The Gardai and Santa" Not even in 1994

[dk323232]

the crimeline bit is just quality television

[wexxie06]

I totally remember this episode. The perry le plonky clock and scent of man. Brilliant. Podge scared the shite out of me.

[Ormond1]

Me too. I was terrified of him. This is great though. Smile on my face.

[Shane72]

Couldn't agree more, use to have nightmares about Podge. The Halloween specials were even worse!

Thanks again for uploading this!

[clairemsh]

I thought I was the only one...Podge used to make me cry...he's soooo evl!! This is brilliant...nothing this good is made for kids now!

[Shane72]

Definitely! I missed the Den special that was on a few nights ago and was absolutely gutted! I wish they'd bring back Ray and co to do the Christmas specials. I think they're probably some of the best childhood memories I have.

*Note to self, make a vlog about this. :)

[Shlimer]

does anyone know how to download this so i can burn it onto a disc!!!i would love to know!

[APintTurtle]

just search 'download youtube' on google and there should be plenty of websites that let you download youtube videos

[dalyboy2008]

[siobrit]

[Delsie25]

I've been looking for this for years. Thanks a million for adding it! I'd forgotten what a'goodie-2shoes' zag was but the clips have not lost their brilliance. If anything they're better now, I actually get the jokes. Thanks again-you're a legend!!!!!!!!!

[mrdoonbeg]

i'M 32, my Brother is 35 and married with a child. When I showed him these clips he loved it. You know these were the best days of our lives and kids these days don't have that! How lucky were we??? Zig and Zag,,Ray, Ted Podge, socky, and the dog??pup? You were the guys, thanks

[gfl1984]

Zuppy!!! Ah zuppy was a legend

[Jasonsoul1]

Zuppy!

[jonconlon]

brilliant, you're a legend, you must have had these lying around for years

[drquinn89]

Pity TV isnt as good as this anymore!!!

[clarabunnie]

There was such chemistry between those 3, something its so hard to get on tv today. pure genius. I forgot how scary podge/ postman Patrick was...ha. still gives me the creeps!

[unhingedsock]

you don't know how happy this video is after making me!!!! seriously i've been sitting here in stitches laughing! ha ha ha! :D so many childhood memories coming back! remember ray's fights with ted?! ha ha ha! :D

[paulalynch23]

this is classic, the funniest part is you can see ray laughing when zig and zag come up with the impromtu stuff and the crimeline bit is fantastic..."not even in 1994...NEVER" lol
