C.U. Burn ~ Part 1 of 3

C.U. Burn is an Irish language television comedy broadcast on the Irish language television channel TG4. It told the tales of the County Donegal undertakers Charlie and Vincie Burn who ran a turf-fueled crematorium. They were rivalled by another group of more professional undertakers led by Frank Doyle. The show revolved around the hapless Charlie Burn (the C.U. Burn of the title) whose misendeavours often led to much chaos while his long-suffering brother Vincie Burn requested a quiet life. C.U. Burn was written and directed by Niall Mac Eamharcaigh[1] and was first broadcast in 1996. The series was filmed entirely in the Donegal Gaeltacht area and was one of the first home-produced TV series to be broadcast on the fledgling TG4.

This is brilliant. Helps learning too. And it promotes the Gaeltacht.

@protec8118 Oh, yes, completely right, 'cause deaf people and people who can't speak Irish shouldn't be allowed to watch this show =\.

The guy on the right reading the paper was my Fear on Ti when I went to the concentration camp that was the Rannafast Ghaeltacht.

He parked trailers of turf against the windows to stop us escaping. I can still feel the horse hair in the mattresses.
