WANDERLY WAGON

[adeeboy]

Hes like Mike Melody of Dickinsons real deal lol

[castlebar67]

bullshit bruatal thuth frank kelly played fr. jack in fr ted hes also the author of many songs and features in an english soap presently .

[darrin42]

I WANT THE ENTIRE EPISODE

[BRUTUALTRUTH]

Is this about Irish gippos???

[IEatManure]

@BRUTUALTRUTH Yep...or 'knackers' as we call them over here. One of them (O'Brien) had learning difficulties, the villians were usually played by 'Fr Jack' from Father Ted and, as opening sequence showed, they were all into dropping LSD big time.

[foxyjoe44]

thanks for postin this i grew up on this and anything goes !!

[robmah71]

great memories....

[ARTYeee]

RTE: Irelands national broadcaster. We specialise in pumping out any movies or programmes that are anti-Nazi, anti-racist, pro-immigrant and pro-multicutural. We aim to air this rubbish, I mean fab stuff, everyday, or at least every chance we get.

RTE:Priming Irelands minds, turning Ireland brown, one programme at a time.

[bansheewhiskey]

@ARTYeee that was the 70's. if you dont like immigrants then do something whinebox.

[HouseOfProPain]

I don't remember the opening credits being so funky and modern??? This was Ireland in the '70s - priests, pixies and pedophiles...

[davidoffon]

To be honest, I watched the first weepisode and thought, not sure, in that episode they were out on the road, there was a hill that they had trouble on(slow), after that it was all studio, I just hated the whole idea.I'm not joking, I hated everything about it. I was 4 months from my fifth birthday. I can't stand science fiction either. I found Eugene to be so unreal as to be scary.

[coolmeghan12]

my mans friend {i know her to } the one dat plays oh so lovely and sweet godmother well not so nice in real life me mams friend lived and knowed her and was like a witch DATS THE TRUTH

[preacain]

Eugene Lambert, R.I.P mr crow and Judge were great

[cetieel]

Lambert was Irelands Jim Henson.

Great job Eugene!

[bats10101]

RIP Eugene. my all time fave as a kid :) il never forget when he came to my school when i was bout 6 and put on a show for us :) pure magic. a real genius

[RickDastardly1]

[decdel77]

RIP Eugene. Great childhood memories, nobody has the same imagination to create shows like this anymore

[tallpaddy]

Forget Bono Or Bob Geldoff- it was Wanderly Wagon that put Ireland on the map- twas kinda Doctor Who with lots of laughs- I spent years drawing the wagon- when I finished school, all that drawing talent was put to good use -

Oh Sneaky Snake was me fav coz he was soo sneaky...

Anyway cheers to Eugene and all who gave us the Wagon- imagination is the greatest gift you can give to any child...

[sheffandcare]

rip eugene....this programme comes to mind instantly when i tink back to my childhood...so simple but yet so brillanty written and acted...im sure you are entertaining kids in heaven as this moment

[refracturate]

RIP Eugene. Thanks so much for being such a big part of my childhood. I hope my son can witness more of your families magic as i did. :-) Brian, Dublin

[marconiwaves]

RIP Eugene, I always believed that true Irish talent goes unrecognised till its tooo late, why cant we as a country applaud Originality and Creativity, and like Fr. Ted, Wanderly Wagon was a Great Program, because it was Original and Imaginative, not some Irish TV facsimile of a successful UK or USA TV show. Thank you Eugene for filling my mind with fantasy ! RIP

[naglfar95]

Rest in peace Eugene & thanks for all the years of wonderful entertainment in what was a far less complicated Ireland where we had a greater appreciation for the simpler things. Youngsters nowadays would baulk at the fact that there was life before wii,mobile phones & bebo. With people like the late great Eugene Lambert literally pulling the strings I can honestly say it was a privilge to be a child of the 70s/early 80s in Ireland. Sleep well friend. You've certainly earned it.

[sugerbabev1978]

R.I.P Eugene thanks for the childhood memories they were happy ones

[mountfalcon100]

Eugene... I think it's goin to start all over again... timeless Brilliance.. Here comes the Wagon.....

[tubedommo]

Brilliant. RIP Eugene. Check out puppeteer's hand high left on 1:08 :-)

[beastcron]

RIP Eugene, I have amazing memories from my childhood thanks to you. Its a shame that RTE cant come up with anything as imaginative today. Kids didnt have American accents in those days??!!

[sugerbabev1978]

@beastcron lie u i have the most amazing memories of wanderly wagon so glad i grew up when it was on telly and yes your right it is a shame rte cannot come with something as imaginative as wanderly wagon was it was an amazing time for kids tv back then

[larryoloai]

RIP mr Lambert

[prunch72]

Imagine tryig to haul that crate up the M1 during rush hour!

Remember 'Gypsy grimey socks'? he was scarey.

I bet you no-one can remember the name of the horse that had to pull that crate around.....?

It was....wait for it.... Padraig! hahaha

[NatGrays]

The music is fooking deadly!!

[ProjectFlashlight612]

I would love to travel the country in a wagon like that. It'd be kick ass.

[tully5111helmets]

did`nt he get arrested for been a deserter from the british army, a case of mistaken identity.

[gerodeo]

oh my god was the music always that funky ? god i loved this shit when i was a kid. state of the puppets . didnt obrien turn out to be a perv or something ,thats just what i heard.

[macker33]

I was just getting into it when it ended.

[bluebudgie21]

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL hemp hemp hemp

[jjaves]

Christ i remember watchin this in youghal as a kid,no longer in youghal no longer a kid

[qwer8907]

[dougiehead]

LOL why did I even think to look this up .....well it was ok when I was 10

[kevinmcmahon3]

oh man...i did a search for this many moons ago and nothing....thanks for posting.....it rocked growing up with this and tayto....you used to be able to see the wagon in the car park at RTE in Donnybrook when you would drive by with your ma....

[demolitiongirl04]

Is it a lamb covered in jam? Is it a goose ozzing with juice?? No no no it's a.........

Can someone please tell me what's next!!

[stevoflats]

The guys who write this must've been whacked out of their heads on acid!

[mutoid1]

yep!

[mephelim]

thats coz judge is the coolest dog ever!!

[paddymigeenty]

judge ended up goin to the moon i think didn't he? man this is a blast from the weird and scary 1970's past

[MissOHaha]

Thanks to Judge I can cross the road properly! And all the other charactors for inspiration! I have sneaky snakes all over my house stopping the draught below the doors.

[fibuia68]

these are not the opening credits that i remember this is a later version,in the verision i remember rurai was at the regins guiding the horses.... would any one agree with me.

[dennisfallen]

chalk it down!i dont like the jazzed up version either.gimme the original version everytime.cuckoo,cuckoo,cuckoo­!!!

[razorblades2008]

I remember ruari at the reigns too, don't really remember this version, but the song still brings back all the memories.. I feel SO OLDDDDD

[claney01]

Didn'r Rory get beamed up into space in a flying tea-cup and saucer. He'd make the odd re-appreanance thereafter. Always remember the teacup and saucer though. He then went on to become auld mister brennan..nyyaahh hhaa haa haa

[ceallaighs]

I was going to say that bosco was worse.... but after watching that clip, i just dont think so anymore, lol

[cloverfield911]

bet there is not akid in the land who now plays snakes and ladders. Oh no!!! I was waiting for Sneakey Snake....the coolest villen ever!!!!!!!!!! :(

[BlackRabbit2264]

I think this show is a wonderful example of how fucking dumb each successive generation gets, compared to the last.

What's wrong with us?

[MoontownMoss]

Judge talks like my dog!

[OvenGloveX]

your dog can talk?

[MoontownMoss]

Course he can, just like that!

[MoontownMoss]

But my wagon cant fly. And not one snake in my clock. Some folk have all the luck.

[ioorah]

mr. crow was scaaaaaary! luved Wanderly Wagon, Fourty Coats, bosco......... xxx

[cattlewrangler]

The fox was a scary fucker come to think of it they were all scary. That program used to scare the shit out of me when I was very young. If it happened now RTE would be sued for mentally scaring young children.

[withnailll]

you probably could, but its more probable you'll forget and go to the shop for cake instead

[NCWTWENTY3]

this explains why I use recreational drugs. Watching this trippy shit as a kid. I wonder could I sue RTE?!...

[54spiritedwill54]

haha wow!

[sunnerdarren]

realy brings me back 2 wen i was younger

[hansenb1]

Thanks for sharing, used 2 watch this yearrrrrrrr sgo.

[thrillathakilla]

Wow Frank Kelly seems so different...

[cipptony]

it sux

[dylbollox]

as do computer games and scandanavians...

[rockeee]

the porn period of wanderly wagon :P

[jexplink]

Definitely agree with Paudie. Prog version is better.

[TomthatiscalledTom]

WTF???? I wanted to know what happened next!!! What became of sneaky snake!?

[paudie75]

that the first time i rembermer the disco ish version of the opening music i can remeber the prog rock one

great show all the same

[Maxdesander]

Never denigrate the efforts of people in the past, - Without them we wouldn't be watching programmes like Podge & Rodge etc. today !. God bless'em.

[speakeasy365]

It probably took RTE 6 months, 50 staff and 3 industrial disputes to make that mind blowing opening sequence...

[sandmerchant]

lol!

[Harry75]

There were a few different versions of the theme tune, and also a few different opening credits sequences. This looks like the one that I remember, but it doesn't SOUND like the theme tune arrangement of my day...very 'disco boogie' style! Godmother was fierce on the dance floor, and O'Brien had a white Travolta-esque suit. Judge was da man, though!

[jahbuzzz]

Thats scares the befeck out of me!

[WILLYPOWER]

holy shit

[wallyjumblatdadsdog]

I'll have nightmares tonight now dreaming about those fucking cunts

[johngill]

didn't remember it having that thumping bass, or is it just my headphones
