Recall listening to RTE shortly after it started its 2nd channel

The accompanying station jingle went:

'Radio 2, Ireland's number one!!'

Apologies. Should have read 'Your point being?'. I didn't get the joke. I assume it was some sort of joke. I just thought you might be good enough to explain it to a thick paddy scouser like myself.

Anyone in Ireland able to video or DVD the RTE TV programme for me please? I will obviously pay for the video/DVD and postage (to England).
Many thanks

Thanks, Happy. Derek, the crew promised to send us a copy of the show on DVD. If that happens and they don't object, I'll try and get a copy for you. I want to get their permission first as they were very courteous to us when they were filming.

Thanks to Mr Happy - presumably you are referring to the radio programme which I will probably be able to hear. It was the TV programme I was interested in acquiring.
so, many thanks Chris B. That would be very much appreciated. It is only for personal research and interest. I am hoping to do a feature or two on Liverpool in English Dance & Song in conjunction with the City of Culture, and this would be very useful to see.
Many thanks again.
Derek

The point? It's a bit like the days when "The Gay Byrne Hour" ran from 9.15 to 11.00 a.m.!

You're welcome, Derek. If you're interested in doing some stuff on Liverpool give me a shout. I am, for my sins, the new chairman of the Liverpool branch of Comhaltas so I can probably hook you up with a few names you might want to talk to. You can PM me on [e-mail].

Chris

The show I plugged earlier on RTE TV can be seen on the RTE site by clicking this link. I cnn't actually watch in on my computer-for some reason my machine won't take Realplayer 11.

The exceedingly pretty and charming 8-year-old on the segment, by the way, is my daughter, Bridget. (Sob).
