No offence is intended towards any of the actors in Fair City, therefore this clip should not be taken to seriously (when ya watch it you'll see why ;) )

Funny Fair City Voice Overs is us voicing over Fair City the irish tv soap and turning it into comedy like never before ;) The Funny Fair City Voice Overs began in 2007 and is still running.

Some Details about Fair City the actaul drama below:
Fair City was conceived in 1989 by RTÉ when it decided that it needed an urban soap opera to compete with Coronation Street and EastEnders. Though the creator of the soap was Margaret Gleason, Tony Holland - co-creator of EastEnders - was brought in as a consultant with the early episodes of the show. Fair City derives its title from the opening line of the traditional song "Molly Malone": "In Dublin's fair city, where the girls are so pretty..." and is the only English-language soap opera produced in Ireland. The show was launched in September 1989 and at the time was described as "the most ambitious production of its kind ever undertaken by RTÉ".

Popularity and viewership:
Fair City has consistently high official viewing statistics. The viewing figures for each episode are around 500,000 - 600,000 and rising to 700,000 or more for specials. The soap has proven particularly popular with viewers outside of Dublin and continues to attract significant audiences on Irish television, often beating stalwart British imports such as Coronation Street and EastEnders in the ratings. The launch show attracted 1.06 million viewers. On 21 November 2001, Fair City attracted 840,000 viewers who tuned in to see Billy Meehan being killed by Lorcan Foley. The serial was not initially a critical success, but it has received acclaim recently for its more credible, sophisticated and psychological stories under executive producer Brigie de Courcy.

The Wire star Reg E. Cathey has expressed his interest in a part on the show, saying he would like to play "an American guy coming to meet his daughter who is now a big singer, someone like Laura Izibor".

Characters:
The series was originally focused on four families: the O'Hanlons, the Kellys, the Clarkes and the Corcorans. This was similar to the British soap EastEnders, which also originally focused on a number of families and the community in which they lived. Over time the emphasis has moved away from the four families and grown to include the wider community of Carrigstown.

During the 1990s the Phelan, Doyle, and Molloy families were introduced and dominated storylines for that decade. Bela and Rita Doyle, along with their brood of five children and Rita's mother Hannah, were involved in many stories. The Phelan family originally consisted of Hughie and Natalie, but later a new branch of the family arrived including Hughie's mother Eunice, and his brother Christy, along with Christy's wife Renee, and their two children Floyd and Farrah. The Molloy family was introduced in the mid-1990s and consisted of patriarch Harry, his wife Dolores, and their two teenage children Wayne and Lorraine.

The Halpin family was gradually introduced in the early 2000s, but since then the show's focus has shifted to individual characters more than family groupings. Notable characters introduced subsequently include Carol Meehan, Tracey Kavanagh, Ray O'Connell, and Jo Fahey. Another change in recent years has been the introduction of ethnic minority characters such as Lana Dowling (née Borodin) and the Udenze family. However, the Udenzes moved back to England after the father Gabriel was burnt to death in a fire, and Lana Dowling was kidnapped and murdered. One of the most surprising changes must have been the introduction of the Israeli character to the show in 2009 -- Avi Bar Lev (Asaf B. Goldfrid). Avi hails from the town of Haifa in Israel.

Former executive producer Niall Mathews believes the soap's success is due to the large cast and the fact that no single character or group of characters dominates. "Difficulties are inherent if you are dealing with just one family," he says. "Look at Dallas and Dynasty; both did well at the beginning, but because all the action was centred on a single family, the writers ran out of things to say."
