It wasn't that great but had some good one liners in it. Hopefully it will get better.

The granny is a hoot

Watched the latest episode and thought it was ok. I did find it a bit weird to see Alan Forde speaking in a fake posh accent though, it's just not him. I'm more used to hearing him like this :

He has just ripped off the ideas of a Rik mayall.
It's like all the ****ty ideas that never made it into bottom.

boccy23 · 30-09-2014 4:51pm

Ah listen, it's not high brow.

It is what it is. A damn good belly laugh on a Monday night.

Don't try and expect some deep meaningful story.

It sure is what it is. This is the show that killed Rik Mayall.

Dubious in places but got a good laugh last night when the pilates ball burst in the yoga class.

Apparently people watch it. Even people who think it's rubbish. So it gets ratings and a second season.

miamee · 30-09-2014 5:02pm

I always a get a laugh out of it - there aren't many shows I can say that about these days.

JP Liz V1 · 30-09-2014 5:19pm

So many Fair City cast old and present, in it

somesoldiers · 01-10-2014 1:35pm

You never know where they would pop up- I saw Keith the mechanic in S6 of Sons of Anarchy last year, I nearly fell off the couch

iano.p · 07-10-2014 6:50pm

There still is some good laughs in this grano is the run away star in this for me. I can't stand the grandfather one bit.

As I said earlier, Alan Ford just doesn't sound right.

Granno is by far the star of the show, some seriously good laughs from her last night

somesoldiers · 08-10-2014 9:07am

HA- ya my boobs are like money clips. She provides the only laughs from the show

Ash.J.Williams · 22-10-2014 10:37am

yer man lock jaw has me in tears

JP Liz V1 · 27-10-2014 11:30pm

There's another one of them

that was funny

ArtSmart · 25-05-2015 9:49pm

It's back (Tonight at ten, in ten mins that is.)

I say this as a deep, deep, hater of rte comedy.

This...isn't the worse thing I've seen.

There.

I said it.

It saddens me that this is one of the last things Rik Mayall did.

CatFromHue · 25-05-2015 11:29pm

I remember watching the first episode and I hated it but it did grow on me as the first series went to the point I liked it.

I didn't see the second series.

ArtSmart · 27-05-2015 12:39am

Hadn't seen the first season. Second seems to be better. Still, will check this out next wk etc

CatFromHue · 20-07-2015 4:59pm

Seemingly there's a film planned for Damo and Ivor.

I know nothing of the plot.

I doubt Quirke does either.

I see this film has gone into production with a plot based around Damo & Ivor travelling across Ireland on a quest to find their long lost brother:

https://www.rte.ie/entertainment/2017/0720/891768-damo-ivor-movie-on-the-way/

The plot sounds like an attempt to copy the recent success of The Young Offenders and make it into a sort of road movie. But is Damo & Ivor popular enough to merit funding a full length feature film?

The show hasn't been on TV since 2014, and the film won't be out until next year, whatever momentum was there from the series will be long gone by then.

I don't really see the point of this, but maybe they'll manage to make the step up to the big screen.

Let me guess, they're going to stretch the threadbare 'cluture clash with lazy stereotypes' premise by discovering a culchie brother.
TBH these characters have long ago run out of steam so I'm baffled that anybody imagines there's an audience left for this.
