Moone Boy is the best thing since Father Ted

[pip]

This show , Moone Boy , started on Sky one last week and is set in Boyle in the West of Ireland (its a county capital but its still the backarse of beyond.
The show is bloody brilliant and well worth a watch.
Anyone else catch the first two episodes and if you didn't catch up with it

 

[Selkie]

From the trailers I would totally watch this ... If I had Sky.

 

[pip]

Ouch. Irish telly will have it soon as well so i'm told

 

[Dotsie]

No Sky here either. Books are better! All this technology lark, I don't know.

Oh you poor poor uplanders.....

I am quite sure you DO have sky.... its that blue stuff up there ..... keep looking on days when its get a bit warm..... well.... anything over 6C really...... You night catch a glimpse when the white stuff separates for a few minutes.

 

[Dotsie]

The weather would have to improve significantly for us to see white stuff

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

I meant to watch that but it clashed with some thing else.

i was going to watch it last night but it clashed with "mrs brown"

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

Me too that show is so funny.

 

[chris.ph]

my bloody stomach was killing me after watching it, its got to be one of the funniest programs on at the moment

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

I think the new DVD is out next month.
Just checked This title will be released on October 8, 2012.

I've been stomaching Mrs Brown since the early 90's so i don't find it funny anymore to be honest. He's not doen anything new since the original radio version.

 

[chris.ph]

its still very fresh for us pip as its only had two series on the box

 

[pip]

Well we had a radio show , 7 tv films , 5 books and then that Angelica Heuston film.

 

[Tonyblack]

Mrs Brown is Angela Houston? She hasn't aged well.

I watched one episode of Mrs Brown and thought it was crap.

 

[pip]

Angelica Heuston plays Mrs Brown in the film Agnes Brown.
Was never a huge fan of Brendan o Carroll anyway and the show makes me cringe. I think its a lot more popular in England than anywhere else .

 

[Jan Van Quirm]

Yeah once you get over Mrs. Brown being a guy it gets old v. quickly

Saw Moone Boy last week for the first time - it does have a quirky charm but not sure its got enough of an edge to it to counteract the cutesy-pie daft Irish bits. Talking about the fat club thing not the hole in the wall part - that was pretty funny

That was episode three. The first two were funnier again.

This should please Pip.
