The Carmelite church in Moate isn't in Moate Parish either. Ask anyone where it is though and see what they say!......
Ventures to Doon are like trips back to a bygone era. We enjoy them on a nostalgic level!
The Doon Golf Society is away to Ennis this time around I believe - you going to join the shennanigans?

Doon
Lads, ye should be thankful that you were allowed into Doon and have met the sound skins that live there. One of the best pints in Ireland. I actually tought that Ferbane was the slum part of Doon, you know the other side of the tracks!

Well lads,
what will tonight's first episode be like?
My suspicion is that the series will be designed to fit the D4 view of what they think midland life is/should be like.
It might well be "Stage Offaly" and "Offalywhackery".
Granted its written by an Offaly man...but there are Uncle Toms everywhere.
My past experience of such productions suggests that the show will be painfully clichéd. You'll probably have a bunch of Dublin actors hamming it up big style with "country" accents and mannerisms.
Lets hope I'm very wrong.

Declan Recks directed the first 3 episodes. His stuff can be ropey at times - though he has improved technically over the years.Biff O'Mahon wrote:I think the director is from Clara too... his name's Recks...
I'm hopin' the mucksavage, ignorant bogger element is played up to the limit... it'll keep them jackeens out of the county for a while... they'd be afraid of being eaten for breakfast by one of them mad wimmen from Banagher
He did most of "On Home Ground" and "The Clinic". Both we were well shot, though the scripts were slow-moving.
Granted OHG had some serious bloopers in it, GAA wise.
Some of short films from the early days were far from smooth. Definitely high on "mucksavage, ignorant bogger" portrayals, though most Irish short films from the late 80s, early 90s leaned heavily towards this.
Going to the Dun Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design & Technology tends to reinforce this outlook of rural Ireland.

Just whats your problem with Banagher girls??Biff O'Mahon wrote:eaten for breakfast by one of them mad wimmen from Banagher
Have you had some bad experience there? Not able to handle a real woman? Feel a bit intimidated by us there Biff? Maybe you should get out more - some of us are really quite sweet you know, would even be gentle with you
