Yeah I heard this also. After a 3year break it will be back on our tv screens. It has to have been one of the best Irish programmes on tv

You should try Path To Freedom so or Batcehlor's Walk (I am guessing you saw BW).

Also Love is the Drug which I thought was very underrated.

Did he?? What happened? The memory doesn't go back over a month!!!

I think he had cancer

ziedth · 02-07-2009 10:23am

ya it was cancer iirc, it was never really reported on. Should have been really i thought he was a very good actor.

I suppose they could recast his role but i'm never really a fan of doing that

I think a second series would juxtapose the Celtic Tiger and the Recession in the Midlands excellent. It is a pity it is only a 2 hour special. Jane Gogan should resign as Head of Drama at RTÉ her commissions have been dreadful over the past number of years. Singlehanded and Raw while watchable the are both really average and she is only trying to gain some exceptance with renewing The Clinic each year. Come back Mary Callery all is forgiven

"If I recall correctly"

Lombard died? I see they've got a fella that looks like him and has the same name casted in that spot then.

Good show, I really enjoyed it. >>> Raw, Legend, and all them.

The Clinic is re-commissioned yearly due to viewing figures, which SH are you refering to 1,2,or 3 similarly which Raw 1 or 2? Do you not rate Father and Son? Would it not be easier to say which of the Drama Commisions you don't rate?

P.S Mary Callery is working for Parallel (for numerous years) on guess what series.

Mary Callery should know better. Raw is very average could be based in any city, if they are going to make it make 20 eps. Single Handed is produced and written by English people and was meant for Wales again hugely average it could be any country setting. Father and Son is an British Production for ITV, it happened to be made in Ireland, could have been made in Iceland in all honesty.

Aren't they all of her commissions

Oh! The Clinic is running too long at this stage we need a new Sunday Night Drama
