Has anyone watched the FC 20th anniversary dvd yet ? I saw it last night and was disappointed. There was little or nothing from the very early days of FC. The earliest scene was a very young Barry O'Hanlon bringing his washing home to his Mammy. The characters I remember from the beginning were:
Paddy Clarke and his daughter Anne
Jonny One and his landlady(I think her name was Lily??)
Hughie/Natalie/Gary and the Pizza Parlour
Dr Bohan and family
They showed a couple of early scenes that included the Clarkes and Jonny but thats it. Maybe the early footage no longer exists
The dvd focused on long standing characters and the controversial storylines, people like Paul, Barry, Niamh,The Molloys, Renee/Christy/Eunice/ Heather/ Floyd,Bela and the Doyles,the Lovely Leo and his many wives, and my favourite character- Carol. It was brilliant to watch some of Carol's scenes over the years, especially the Billy Meehan era.Other highlights included Christy when Renee dumped him for Bob-Tom Hopkins did a great job there. The Malachy/Kay baby storyline was poignant. Paul seems to have spent his time impregnating women:D. It was also sad to watch Joan Brosnan Walsh who was a great asset and will be sadly missed. Overall I enjoyed the dvd but it seriously lacked early archive material. 0 -

I am very disapointed to hear that, I loved remembering the early days and I thought they would have showed more of that, not sure whether to get it now

Ya agree with you. This is not something new when it comes to such dvds/programmes. ITV tend to stick to recent stories as well when they do programmes for Emmerdale and Coronation Street. Dont know about Eastenders coz i think that programme is crap and dont watch it. I suppose in a way it is down to poor research.0 -

Have to agree! Also... the bits where they cut back to filming recent stuff - seemingly at random - was a bit uneccessary!0 -
