Have only seen threads on this in reference to certain years and not the actual program itself. Watching the 93 one tonight. Never knew that In Your Eyes song was our Eurovision one. RTE have plenty of faults (Fair City,The English Class,The Last Furlong,telly bingo hosted by a transvestite, Pat Kenny,Miriam etc etc) but this program certainly isn't one of them. Apart from having the nostalgic look at the past that you experienced, the various songs from the particular year always suit the mood of an event from that year. Phil Collins In The Air Tonight from 81 when the hunger strikes footage appeared / that Bjork (I think it's her) song when there was a rebellion in Moscow in 93 (which was on tonight) completely enhances the importance of the event. Whoever does the text to the events on the program is very good and the choice of the music to the particular event is excellent and spot on. A fantastic piece of television which I could watch again and again.  ------------- Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been. |

I think it is the one fella puts the majority of it together, John O'Regan is the chap's name, or at least, he is the main man, aided by whatever amount of researchers. Here's an interview with him in the IT from a few years ago explaining how tis put together. http://www.irishtimes.com/culture/tv-radio-web/it-s-impossible-now-to-view-the-decade-past-without-regret-1.661839" rel="nofollow - http://www.irishtimes.com/culture/tv-radio-web/it-s-impossible-now-to-view-the-decade-past-without-regret-1.661839 He is a bit modest about his talents there though, I think his true genius is in selecting the music for the relevant footage. It also appears from those choices that Mr O'Regan has a bit of a wry sense of humour, which always helps. Using REM's 'Shiny Happy People' over footage of Ian Paisley roaring 'NO' to something or other always makes me laugh (not sure on the year, maybe '91), The Wonderstuff's 'Size of a Cow' over footage of Larry Goodman & the Beef Tribunal is absolute comedy gold. How long did it take to find that one pretty obscure song, just to use in a clip of a few seconds ??? Coming up with stuff like that isn't easy, in fact half the time people don't even recognise the fact that the lyrics in the music clips are linked to the footage, that's how good these fellas are. ------------- Picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue..... |

Brilliant programme. As Deise mentioned the music mixed in with the wry comedy make it what it is. Tonights episode alone finishing with Bertie commenting on locking up all tax cheats and dodgers was gold. Straight away all I could think of was Paddy the Plasterer and dig outs from pals! ------------- "I called him an embarrassment to FIFA and to himself," ....

Nailed it Deise. The soundtrack to every episode is damn near perfect. Every time, it just works. From happy memories, to controversial moments, and some very sad, poignant ones. A couple even without music, which makes a huge impact. Such a simple programme. But so perfect  ------------- They finally did it man... They killed my f**kin' car... |

Its mad to look back even as recently as the early 90s and see some of the crooks that were running the country and just how male dominated politics was in this country. You look at the likes of Mary Robinson and think what a trail blazer she was. Its also gas that on every episode there`s a priest caught for knocking off some bit on the side in some far flung country. ------------- I won the Player of the Century award thanks to the people.Pele was second.He also came second behind Aryton Senna as Brazil's greatest sportsman.The award FIFA gave Pele isn't worth sh*t - Maradona |

2015 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. |

Why is it banned on the one hour later show and not the regular hour? I must be thick. I don't get it.
Is this the reason why RTÉ +1 only goes out after 7pm and has a clocked finishing time too? |

I understand why DVD's are restricted to Irl and NI only. But I don't understand the music issue. RTE has music on almost every single tv programme, plays the songs featured on radio, yet won't air them on their own production on RTE One +1.  Eastenders used to be banned too, but that was lifted after a while. Movies are shown on the station, with all their music included. I just don't get what the issue with RITY is. ------------- VAR: Cutting the crap out of football. |

Difference between broadcasting live and a podcast in radio so I am guessing tv is the same. You can play a song on the radio but you can only play a 30 seconds of it on a podcast. Tv must be the same. ------------- AKA pedantic kunt |
