Reeling In The Nineties is discovered, just 15 years after it's original broadcast.

August is Prime Time for the show every year with 5 shows per week, to cover RTE's reduced news coverage. Despite it being their own production, it is the only show banned on RTE One+1, apparantly for "rights" issues.

It isn't all comedy and entertainment however. The coverage of the troubles that are featured can be difficult to watch during the 80's episodes, and I personally find the footage of the riot at the RDS in 81 too distressing to watch again. 200 people were injured that afternoon, just three months after the brits won the Eurovision there. Ann Doyle would say it was her worst year in RTE, given all that happened.

I would also prefer the FAI Cup Final own each year rather than the finals of the amateur, backward, parochial game dressed up as "sport" instead.

That aside, it is RTE's most popular programme and rightly so.

Always used to watch it in college when we'd come back pissed from a night out! A good history lesson!

Probably the best programme RTE have ever produced. The music is always oustanding.

1991, was on the other night

Lads is this on youtube or RTE iplayer?

Anytime there's a bombing there's no music. Nothing Compares To You coming on when Iraq invades Kuwait was quality.

Absolutely love this show - Was the standard routine for years for us on a Sunday. Off into London for a GAA match in the afternoon, back to the local to watch it over a few pints in the evening and then spend the rest of the evening being slightly homesick !
