[machree01]

The music brings back memories, Sunday evening, 8:00.pm we whatched Where In The World, hosted by Teresa Lowe, then 8:30.pm Glenroe, miley saying Wellll the Hollllly God, and atall atall.ah they were the times.

[LordShivasServant]

[jointz666]

[GrinningSceptic]

I miss the old green Dublin Buses (although what one was doing all the way down in Kilcoole/Glenroe remains a mystery) :-D

[FrankioloDiddlyDee]

aw memorieees

[4dger]

Sunday nights still left feeling empty without old biddy and miley and dinny painting the cow dung on his walls because he had no paint.man the stuff we watched when were kids but were alot happier

[castlebar67]

hi arwenevenstar123 Thank you for your lovely response it was so nice of you if they the ones they grow in early spring however it was sweet of you mick lally came from my home place i never knew him personnally he was older but knew his old relatives kindest regards pb manchester god bless you

[witchywinny]

We were living the real life of a small village in the east coast of Ireland which wasn't shown on Glenroe. So maybe joining the EU changed us, but not on the east coast. What Glenroe portrayed was a rural life which maybe was more suited to the 60's rather than the 80's in our village.

[witchywinny]

Can I just say to those people who are going off on one about Ireland going into the EU and it changing the country...well, I'm from 'Glenroe', and where I'm from was NOT like the tv show. It used our village as a set (traffic used to be AWFUL when they were filming!). That was all. Our life in Kilcoole was nothing like Glenroe, no-one went around saying 'well holy god' and not that many people were farmers!

[castlebar67]

anyone know what kind of flowers was featured in that video at the begining please i think they may be a favourite of my grandmother rip

[arwenevenstar123]

@castlebar67

Primroses :)

[teee2]

The closing credits and the music meant shit!its 9 o'clock..its too late to do the homework,have to pretend I'm sick in the morning

[spurs4ever46]

Times that we will never see again to be honest, A generation grew up with this show

[luxjdam]

That requiresa complicated answer. Basically we begun to interact with the outside world more, via the EU for example. Added to this the country did begin to improve ecomonically, and it did become more urbane, so a series baised on country life no longer spoke to people. The conservative society it represented does still exist, but it has become much smaller. I grew up in a rural area, and it has changed radically. I would not identify with 'glenroe' any more either. hope this was helpful. d.

[MatlockJack]

@luxjdam

Very helpful; thanks.

[tosspot86]

@luxjdam wow i never thought of it like that, the eu changed everything about this country i miss the old days like this back to before we werent trying to be like everyone else

[MollyRayForever]

used to hate the way this was on sunday eve, time for bath before school began again the next day :(

[shinzon37]

Well Holy God!! Did Biddy ever find that CD she was looking for??

[kinkyfemail]

Bed time sunday when glenroe was over used to hate the sight of it ha

[Orlabobz]

I used to feign interest in this so I could stay up! I got to go to bed after this! extra time up!!

[PajoLee]

[luxjdam]

My one memory of this progamme is the theme tune, for me it meant that the weekend was over and school the next day. I have to admit that I was not a fan, I was only a child at the time, but the ireland in it no longer exists. In many ways I am glad about that, in other ways, well mabey there are things I miss.

[MatlockJack]

@luxjdam

Just out of interest; what happened to the Ireland of Glenroe and why did it disappear?

[chicacheeky]

Mickl Lally was an atheist and probably wouldn't have appreciated many of these comments.

[Fordfiesta19]

does anyone know where i can download this as a phone ringtone?

[carlitosbug]

Did the voice of Grundel from Thumbelina play Dinny in Glenroe?

[sammh06]

God bless ya miley u

[robbiemable]

@sammh06 miley was a c u next tuesday thay couldn't read the poor divel that danced in the dark,

[Desvantes]

r.i.p mick lally

[aidolallo]

Sunday ,growing up consisted of mass in the morning , football match in the afternoon, dinner in the evening and glenroe at night. Tourmakeady has lost one of it's greatest sons. God bless ya Mick ,you will be sadly missed but fondly remembered . " Well Holy God "

[pkav72]

A great actor, a great voice and sound man altogether.

Rest in peace mick. You will be sadly

missed.

Say hello to "well holy god" ;-)

[chicacheeky]

@pkav72 Mick Lally was an atheist and wouldn't have appreciated such remarks.

[markthebusman]

Best line in Glenroe ever:

Dinny ".......your uncle, he died intestate"

Miley:.........I thought it was the heart"

[keithc1977]

Remember when Terry and Dick were having an affair and Catholic Ireland reeled with shock and horror....

[1davidcampbell]

Same, no homework done - I used to think it was just me but looks at though quite a few of us were in the same boat ! 

[Whyisthisthat]

[YoussefS]

[Queenofmynamesucks]

[SuperClint007]

Glenroe was great,Sunday nights RTE1 at 8.30 I think. Was Murphy's Micro Quiz m on befofe it ? where you could win a Ford Orion and it was always the Dad who Played for it .....Happy Days. RTE should start showing the series from the beginning in the mornings instead of some of the stuff the show

[shannairl]

@SuperClint007 I remember Where in the World with Teresa Lowe being on before it at some stage!

[decoswe]

i remember watching this without my home work done........

[flamingbartman]

i remember every sunday night i would watch this just to stay up late,

[DoUCwhatHappensLarry]

@flamingbartman haha yeah, and you knew you had to go to school in the morning so trying to stretch the night out... back in the day when we had two channels...

[Terrorvision8]

Ah....nice and quaint and Irish.......and then theres a joyride at the end of it!! LOL!

[stitchkaboodle999]

Very interesting take on a slip jig by putting a back beat on the 6th quaver of 9/8.

Who says muckers can't rock?

[stokes738]

I never made to the end I was always sent to bed before the end!!

[MesRol]

And if ya were good you were allowed to stay up & watch "Sunday Night At The Gaeity" with your host Brendan Grace lol

[Burncourtable]

Yes you knew the weekend was over when Glenroe came on and you had no homework done

[RaeRae914]

@Burncourtable lol yeah ,,,,

[casperld]

@Burncourtable

RIP Mick Lally

[shaynoho]

@Burncourtable.It was the soundtrack to miserable sunday evenings for our generation.

[caimin]

[welshyrocksursox]

[BiolysGurl]

[irishxx]

Yeah it was great bring back ireland Culture

[Raeanne231]

Thanks for posting this ,my god takes ye back to Sunday night ,school the next day,ma ironing ur uniform,getting the bag ready.....yuck

[codrodcm]

why does it go glenroe 4 times

[SeanOBriain]

it doesn't. it says gleann rua - which is the original irish name for glenroe. it's showing the transition from gaeilge and old celtic fonts to english over the years.

[Chelmsford1234U]

Glenroe had it's faults aplenty, but it was a million times better than "Fairly Shitty" sorry, "Fair City", better theme tune too.

[paul59133]

thanks for clips of glenroe anyone tapes copies of glenroe excellent show
