Quicksilver (Irish TV Show)
''Quicksilver'' was a television quiz show produced and broadcast in Ireland by RTÉ and hosted by Bunny Carr from 1965 to 1981. The show was broadcast each week from a different Irish town, with a live audience. Competitors were selected from the audience by drawing numbered tickets, prompting many amusing exchanges as they competed for small monetary prizes by answering a series of trivia questions. Musical accompaniment was provided by organist Norman Metcalfe, who frequently provided musical hints to the answers. The centre-piece was a large board with 30 illuminated numbers that indicated remaining prizes. After the host read the question, the lights went out one-by-one (approximately one each second) until either the contestant gave the correct answer or seven lights went out. With each correct answer, each remaining light became worth an increasing amount of money – pre-decimalisation, the progression went 1 shilling, 2 shillings, 5 shillings, 10 shillings, £1, and £5; ...

The Riordans
''The Riordans'' was the second Irish television drama serial made by Raidio Telefís Éireann (then called ''Telefís Éireann''). It ran from 1965 to 1979 and was set in the fictional townland of Leestown in County Kilkenny. Its location filming with Outside Broadcast Units, rather than using only TV studios, broke the mould of broadcasting in the soap opera genre and inspired the creation of its British equivalent, ''Emmerdale Farm'' (now called ''Emmerdale'') by Yorkshire Television in 1972. Plot The show was called ''The Riordans'' after the name of the central family, consisting of the middle-aged parents, Tom and Mary, and their oldest son, Benjy, as well as the latter's siblings Michael and Jude, who had left farming for other careers and had more adventurous personal lives. Other leading characters included the family doctor, his Protestant gentry-born wife, the (radical Vatican II-oriented) Catholic priest, the conservative Church of Ireland rector, the local pub ow ...

Newsbeat (Irish TV Series)
''Newsbeat'' was a Telefís Éireann television current and regional affairs programme presented by Frank Hall and broadcast in Ireland live on weekday evenings from 1964 until 1971. Background ''Newsbeat'' was created by Telefís Éireann as a replacement for the station's flagship current affairs programme ''Broadsheet''. The programme was originally broadcast live from Monday to Friday between 6:01pm and 6:40pm. It was the first television programme by Telefís Éireann to be jointly produced by the News and Programming divisions of the new station. Content and style The programme opened with a ten-minute summary of the news and, unlike ''Broadsheet'', concentrated on more off-beat and light-hearted regional filmed reports and unscripted interviews from around Ireland. Frank Hall, as well as being editor of the programme, was also the main presenter. He was assisted in reporting duties by Michael Ryan and Cathal O'Shannon. ''News'' and ''Newsbeat'' were subsequently split ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tolka Row
''Tolka Row'' was an Irish Drama (film and television), drama serial set in a fictional housing estate on the Northside (Dublin), northside of Dublin. Based on Maura Laverty's play of the same name, ''Tolka Row'' was first broadcast on 3 January 1964 and aired weekly for five series until it ended on 31 May 1968. As RTÉ, Telefís Éireann's first venture into soap operas, ''Tolka Row'' quickly became a staple of the new television station's schedule and set the pace for all future home-produced serials. Its popularity also resulted in the station developing a second soap opera, ''The Riordans'', in 1965. ''Tolka Row'' is similar in format to the long-running British soap ''Coronation Street'', from which it borrows its main premise (the everyday life of a number of neighbours). The show was centred on the Nolans, a typical working-class Dublin family, and their neighbours, the Feeneys. All episodes were filmed in studio at Telefís Éireann's RTÉ Television Centre, Television C ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
