Reeling in the '10's

houseplant

Almost the end of the decade, and another installment of Reeling in the Years due soon. What will this series be like? What are the main stories you remember of the 2010's

Closure of Waterford Rosslare railway to passenger services.

sportsfan90

Recession for the first few years, visits from the queen and the pope, a lot of kilkenny and dublin All-Irelands, the liberation of our abortion and marriage laws, Trump and Brexit. And hopefully a good run in the rugby world cup later this year.

Lollipops23

The great bread shortage of 2018's blizzard.

Anto Lynch

Multiple referendum, terror attacks across Europe & Brexit.

HSE incompetence writ large. Cervical check scandal.

Recession, referendums, Trump, Brexit, lots of more things, but that's the bones of it.

Franz Von Peppercorn II

It was a pretty crazy decade all told.

Trump and Brexit dominate the end of it. Obama the start - it’s gotten worse. Syrian and Libyan wars. Mass migration and merkel. The rise of Isis and Islamist and the increase in nationalist sentiment. Rise of politics by social media. Increasing heat in Europe.

Here the recession and the aftermath. The marriage referendum. Brexit Brexit Brexit.

LordBasil

There will also be things mentioned that don't fit into 1 specific year, e.g Rise of Social Media (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook), people taking selfies and so on, that can be used to fill up more quieter years.

Expect to hear music by Ed Sheeran, Adele, One Direction, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Ariana Grande, Hozier, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Sam Smith, Calvin Harris.

Facebook users no longer becoming seriously upset when they were DEFRIENDED.

This made me chuckle too much. :pac:

The Internet really came into its down during those harsh times. The funny facebook clips of people dealing bread round the back of the sheds. :pac:

Not to be pedantic (but I am) it's '10s not '10's. The apostrophe has no place before the s.

The '10s will for sure have the worst soundtracks compared to previous decades.

Unfriended, granddad.

I think they should wait another 10 years before they start making them again. One of the great things about the old reeling in the years were the odd foreboding quotes that ended up coming true and being very relevant 20-30 years later. Or a politician banging on about corruption and then being proven to be corrupt himself a long time after.

Good Lord! That is one dreadful list. I don't want to tempt fate by proclaiming that the next decade couldn't be any worse.

Man slipping on ice is the decade's greatest moment. It never gets old. The arrogant, arm-swinging, 'I'm an awfully busy man with places to go in the city' stride that pays no attention to circumstances. Such zeitgeist!

Really?

It has to be "Same Sh!t,different Decade"
When I watch the old reeling in the years I always think " Have we learned nothing from the past?"

It will start in the middle of a recession and then close out 2019 with the start of another recession. Loads more in between.:D

2006 "Jumbo Breakfast Roll" by Pat Shortt playing with clips of multiple cranes on the Dublin skyline and builders all working away, then cuts to Bertie saying the boom is getting boomier.

After that it's all recession sh1t for a few years.

I'll definitely watch it.

The 10's probably won't be made for another few years, it'll take a lot of trawling through archives and expensive to make.

Hopefully Ireland winning the 2019 Rugby World Cup.;) and most likely Dublin`s five in a row All Ireland titles.

Certainly not music wise. That's gone down the shítter with depressingly few exceptions.

Well, seeing as how the 90s series was first broadcast in late 2000 and the first decade of this century in 2010, I would think that would be a reasonable assumption.

JupiterKid

It's sort of too early to really frame the events of the 2010s in the fuller context of history. We will only be able to begin to do that in the mid 2020s...

But...for me the most notable events of the decade were -

Aftermath of the death of the Celtic Tiger, rescue of the Irish banking system, moribund property market, negative equity and mortgage arrears, ghost estates, NAMA, rising unemployment.

The near completion of our inter-city motorway system - transforming Ireland from a country with atrocious road infrastructure to one with Western European standard roads. A generation after the rest of the West, but better late than never.

Conclusion of the social revolution that began in the 1990s with the same-sex and abortion referenda. An openly gay Taoiseach. All utterly unthinkable just 15 years earlier.

Rubbish pop music.

Right wing backlash against the liberalism of the 1990s. Brexit and the election of Trump. Immigration debate. Continuing Islamist terrorism against the West.

The passing of the Voyager spacecraft, launched in 1977 to explore the outer planets, into interstellar space. The Voyagers will still be travelling through the galaxy long after our Sun has died and the Earth is gone.

PTH2009

TV3 or whatever the feck there called nowadays done there version of the 10s already. It was good but didnt have that reeling in the years feeling

Looking forward to RTEs version of the 10s

Sporting wise

Soccer- we have the Euros 2012/2016 and our wins vs Germany and Wales (2017 WC qualifer) and hopefully we have qualifying for the 2020 euros in the 2019 offering. The rise of LOI teams in Europe (Rovers and Dundalk qualifying for the Europa League group stages). That Brady goal vs Italy will never grow old

Rugby- a few good moments and hopefully more to come. The 2x wins over the All Blacks, 2x 6 nations titles and the grand slam. Leinster European wins

GAA- dominance of Dublin footballers with Cork, Donegal and Kerry and Kilkenny/Tipp with the odd other team winning (Clare, Galway, Limerick). In the 2019 version the curse is ended Mayo win sam lol

2014 Garth Brooks ****e

Lots of society milestones and state visits

Cant wait for it. Surely every episode will be repeated

whisky_galore

Mother and Baby homes scandal and the continuing drawn out death rattle of the Church and its relevance.

zcorpian88

Glad to know I'm not the only one looking forward to this programme coming out, it's the one program RTE do really well.

I always watch the repeats but I enjoy the 80, 70's and 60's ones the most for some reason

I even have them all on a hard drive, they can be got on Pirate Proxy, I put them on in the background on a usb and into the tv often when I'm on the computer, it's nice in the background.

They should re-edit the '00s series with hindsight before doing a '10s one - some content would be covered rather differently now, e.g. any coverage of the '00s trial and then the death of Michael Jackson. Everything economic crash related also.

What do you mean re Michael Jackson?
The facts haven't changed since then, he was found Not Guilty in 2005 and his death in 2009 caused a huge global reaction and was one of the biggest news stories of the decade. To cut those events out or reframe them in light of allegation made in the 'Leaving Neverland' mockumentary would be totally unjustified.
Should they also have to re-edit the 1970, 1972, 1979, 1983 and 1991 editions which features Jackson's music?

One of the most remarkable weeks in politics in the 2010s is now rarely spoken about, but it was a couple of days that were genuinely GUBU.

In just a few days in January of 2011, it was revealed by a Sinn Fein TD that Brian Cowen had had a series of personal contacts with Sean Fitzpatrick, former CEO and then-Chairman of Anglo Irish Bank. The Foreign Affairs MInister (Michael Martin) publicly turns against him, the party is divided. Five more senior ministers resign and the Green Party pulls out of Government. The Taoiseach struggles to fill every cabinet vacancy, since he doesn't have the Dail numbers to put new Ministers in Government. Only 7 remain, the absolute constitutional minimum. This leads to a farcical situation where MInisters have multiple portfolios, e,g, Eamon O'Cuiv is the Minister for Defence, the Minister for Social Welfare, and Minister for the Environment all at once.

Pat Carey is Minister for Communications, Energy, Natural Resources, Community, Equality, and Gaeltacht Affairs. Mary Coughlan is suddenly MInister for Health and MInister for Education.

Some of the resignations weren't even principled. Harney, Smyth, Dermot Ahern resigned because if they waited any longer, they'd stand to lose large a proportion of their MInisterial Pensions under the incoming Finance Bill.

This week in Irish politics is now largely forgotten. The turmoil and chaos is hard to believe, looking back. We were a rudderless ship.

Tombo2001

Ireland winning the 2019 Rugby World Cup must rate highly up there.....

Other than that, Greg winning Love Island.

I'd agree.

It was an illustration in how things can go pear shaped in a way you wouldnt have thought possible.


'No Deal Brexit' here we come!!!


.....

One other point relating to the above - there were a lot of Fianna Fail lads appointed to Ministerial roles for a two or three week period only, as things were falling apart.

I'd love to see how that impacted on their pension rights.
