The Den 1995

[jedsithor]

Are you superstitious? Well you should be!

Brilliant. It's a shame they've essentially retconned Podge and Rodge's origin. I think they were actually funnier when they had to get around live tv for kids.

[tosspot86]

god i remember the 10th anniversary episode just had a flashback of when ian dempsey appeared, 16 years ago jesus fucking christ where did the time go

[MrRexel14]

[SushiSunshine2000]

Greetings from England!!

The Den looks way cooler than CITV, mainly because Zig and Zag were on there, but Ray's cool too (I guess). I used to watch Zig and Zag on the Big Breakfast and MTV but I think Zig and Zag would be more fun to come back home from school and watch. Zig and Zag were full of LULZ. CITV was boring.

[grame141]

it kinda went to shite when Ray left

[irishdub13]

Go on ya good thing!!! loved that rap the briggan the brack the noggin and the fermot!! it came into my head one day and my fella at the time (english) was like WTF...good times...shit me crying now WTF!!!

I used to watch the Den in the early 90s, moved over from england in 1992 when i was 14 and remember seeing Ray Darcy and Boyzone on the den, back when boyzone were 19 LOL. it was a good show The Den, Ray was good too.

[daragh89]

best days ever, running home after school to watch the den

[Shlimer]

[UrharRar]

Such great days, time just goes so fast, what i wouldnt give for one day of those days back just one, memories memories of the way we were when people didnt put the word like in every sentence and speak with californian accents, the best times ever... Im struggling to hold back the tears here.

[StewieGriffin2009]

"That's a rock Boyzone walked on"

The lowest point of human evolution coincided with the uttering of the above sentence. It sends shivers down my spine to this very day.

[lolhater619]

[Nigo82]

Nigo82

[bladerunner850]

ireland rocked in the 1990s

[Dingalingring]

Lapharoise - LOL!

I swear 2 God, when PJ Galllagher does that half-retarded fella ("THE WHOOSING! D'YA HEAR THE WHOOSING?!) in the white overalls, or driving the taxi for George Hook ("BUT I CAN'T TURN LEFT, GEORGE!") in Naked Camera, he sounds *exactly* like Snotsner!!

Spot on!

[tomzzztomz]

ciara was hot

[UKArchiveTV]

So were they on the Big Breakfast and the Den at the same time?

[rooney2cantona]

well zig and zag left the den in 1993, but this was the Den's 10th anniversary show from 1996 and all the crew past and present at the time were on this special,Zig and Zag also came back for Xmas and St Patrick Day specials etc during Their Big Breakfast days.

[waffles2beans4rusks6]

god are zig and zag really gone from the den since 1993? that means that half the memories i think i have of watchin them probrably never happened seen as i was only born in 1992.. or perhaps i just remember the specials really well... ... still are they gone from it full time that long?

[veronicadredd22]

@UK ArchiveS they filmed the big breakfast clips on the weekend ,but were live on the den .

[lambie1985]

omg we have to start a petition to bring back zig and zag and the proper den not the tripe they have now. stop kids playin feckin video games and get back to pogs, t-ball, red rover, 40-40 home c'mon we,ve got boyzone back y not?lol

[wishmaster200]

[Mick342]

Ray D'arcy is The Biggist Legend In Irish Broadcasting T.V. Whatever... Go RAY!!!!!!!

[rooney2cantona]

He's even more of a legend on Today FM.

[boru25]

I miss the old Ireland!

[maddermofo]

me too. the early 1990's were the best days of my life

[boru25]

Really! We have so much in common!

[kazzy1313]

i actually teared up watching this! i remember watching this!

[maddermofo]

It's nice that somebody can actually come on here and admit that. I too get emotional when watching stuff from my childhood

[gfl1984]

I remember the den before socky came on the scene!!! I'm so old!!!

[deadman81]

I loved this show... Dustin, Zig, Zag, Ray, Socky, and of course Podge.... I'm 27 now and boy I feel really old watching this and seeing it was 1995....LEGENDS......

[Arkadji]

"are ya supersticious?? Well ya should be!!!"

[jedsithor]

Soky and Snotser were played by the same person....notice they never talk at the same time

[dylbollox]

i wanna see rays rave!

[lipmystockings]

"this is what boyzone walked on"

classic

[jonffanak]

those two girls are well creepy tho...like sumthin outta the shining...anyone remember when ray did a spoof of the levis ad with flat eric?

[lapharoaise]

hey is snotster pj gallagher?????

[KILLALAlad]

it cud be ya no!lol

[jimshady06]

im 23, i grew up with this! i feeel really old and quite upset right now! give anything to go back be a kid and enjoy all this again

[mwwhahahahahaha]

my god i miss the nineties......why isn't the den like this anymore-it's terrible now!

[jonsandy83]

nice one

[Dingalingring]

That fuckin' Pig at the start annoyed me. And I preferred Zig&Zag to Socky.

Dustin with Boyzone near the end of the video is so funny! I always loved it when Boyzone were on. They were well able to take a joke.

90's The Den RULED!

[lipmystockings]

was the pig called snotzer?

i think they gradually introduced him and he failed as a character.

i remember socky's first day. never liked him really.

i miss zuppie

[nahbios]

Yeah, I remember "The Den is Ten" special programme. Oh, I was so jealous of those two girls getting to see Boyzone! ... Now I wonder if they're embarrassed. ;-)

[frodoireland]

This was The Den's tenth anniversary

[irisheyes2617]

would their be any chance you could but that up for us bmcc123 it was like my all time favorite as a kid growing I loved it I'd say we all would love to see it again I defo would and thanks a lot for putting this up rooney2cantona

[rinonotbaz]

ha ha, the part with louise in it is noggin fm!!

[paulthemagician]

Well I have footage of the phantom tickellers!!

I'll post it soon!

[Raighne01]

Any chance any1 has hthe christmas special with podge and the bottom sleigh??

[bmcc123]

i have that at home on vid and would be willing to sell it at a fair price. one bottle of scent of man and one pierre du plonc clock please

[thx1138X]

I wonder how much footage actually exists in rte, since the den was "presentation" and not an actual program.(Thats the official line apparently lol). The Den is great.

[nahbios]

Yeah, I was wondering too...
