Enjoyed Quirke last week so will watch it again.

Paulie Gualtieri

That fella had his mind made up on what he was gonna do long before the Brennans came. Free advertising much...

Any chance of a revisited style few episodes. Grand designs style. Quick recap followed by a new visit and catch up. Could do a few in each episode. Show what has worked and what hasn't and who followed through.

Good idea but doubt it is up to the Brennan's.

Would be the production company who would do this...and being honest irish production co's very much tend to be "paint by numbers" and have a set formula. Cannot see them revisiting etc...they have moved on to their next project and forgotten all about series 6.

Let's just hope series 7 is "stronger" back to the endings/followups like previous series.

Many thanks everyone for tuning in again this year. We were very late filming this series so not possible to do a follow up visit for the end of some of the programmes. We appreciate all your comments and look forward to series 7. John Brennan.

Hi John, thanks for taking the time to come here and comment. I think I speak for all of us here in saying that we love the series. Yourself & Francis are a pleasure and a delight to watch every Sunday evening.

Looking forward already to the next series!

The older the violin the sweeter the tune or so I am told.....

A Quirke/At Your Service crossover would do well, where the Brennans are doing up a hotel in 1950s Dublin and discover a guest brutally murdered, and have to call in a special detective

Francis - Oh jesus mary and joseph that blood stain will never come out

John - Bottom line, now, had he settled his room bill already

Special Detective Dermot Bannon is called in who manages to bungle it all up.

Standard coffin, but with a 1 1/2 height glass cube sticking out at one corner and over budget. There will be enough money to dig the hole and for most of the funeral expenses, but nothing left to fill the grave in.

In all the jobs I've had the one is hate most to do again is waitressing fir huge functions like that. Tough job IMHO

i worked in the west county 10 years ago for these big Xmas functions with 800+ people. it was the easiest job i ever had. with that many, there's not many options. soup for starter, beef or salmon for mains, choice of 3 deserts. queue in the kitchen for each course, get your tray of food, throw it out to the 1 or 2 tables you were responsible for. job done.

HeidiHeidi

I saw outside caterers prepping a dessert course for about 400+ people in the Royal Hospital Kilmainham last year - the dinner had been beautifully cooked fillet steak, can't remember what the starter was but equally impressive - and it was the most impressive scene of efficiency and time/motion beauty I think I've ever seen!

Definitely got the impression that tonight's fella was let loose by his parents to manage the new project - but regardless, I have to admire his balls and wish him the best with it!

ETA - I am MOST impressed that JB came on here and thanked the viewers - full marks for that, bigtime! I'd second the call for more revisits to previous projects, although I fear that they may be just too nice to show the ones that have flopped or didn't work out......

Tonight should be funny, They are helping out hippies in an eco village in Cloughjordan. Fran man you are wrecking my buzz !

HeidiHeidi

Eh... my telly magazine is showing a repeat of a couple in Adare with a pub/hotel/restaurant

Cloughjordan was on a couple of weeks ago.

Anyway, didn't John appear last week to say thanks for viewing folks, that's all for now.

Obviously onto repeats for the foreseeable.

****e ! The culture mag in the sunday times lists the hippies, but tv guide online lists Adare. I saw the Adare one before ! Now all I have to look forward to is Top gear followed by dragons den on bbc2. Damm ! Shower and early night again I suppose !

finix

Here we go....Those curtains are terrible ! Oh Dear !

amdublin

Ah I yes I remember this one!

What a funny colour for a chipper!!!!!

JONJO THE MISER

Used often go to the pink potato passing Adare, sadly it is there no more.

delta_bravo

This is a repeat and from passing through adare, the pink potato is no more.

When the brothers came to Adare, Seán and Bridie also owned The Pink Potato, a chipper beside the bar. However, they decided to close it last September as more and more people came to the bar for food.

“At the end of the day, do you want to go into McDonald’s or do you want to come in here? We’re not a whole pile more expensive than your average McDonald’s,” added Seán

Gone since September 2012 according to this. It didn't last too long after the show was broadcast.

But their Pub seems to be going alright.

Typical RTE, repeats that are out dated.

Seems a bit pointless showing it again if the place closed.

I hope the Brennan brothers are being paid residuals.

maybe dragons den after this on bbc 2 will be better

Skid X

I wish John Brennan would stay around a bit longer and do a Q&A with us.

I'd love to know why he suggested a crematorium for that park. That was a bit off the wall.

JONJO THE MISER

They seem a nice couple in fairness.

Ah to be fair I wouldn't go that far...

Also iirc the writing was on the wall with this one so it is almost self-fulfilling watching this and knowing it is now gone. They weren't the smartest knives in the drawer iirc and didn't do things (the tablecloths!!!!) that the Brennans told them to do.

stop animal cruelty

those pictures are awful!!!

CountyHurler

I thought the series was over???

Jaysus that pink is horrible.. Just what sort of services are they offering!!!

A few people on here liked it! It was certainly thinking outside the box!

Yeah I wish he stuck around as well But I'd say they are busy men!

Christ those table cloths :O shocking

You didn't see this one before?

I would love to go to their hotel in Kerry and ''nitpick'' !

amdublin

How hard can they be to do?

I think chippers store their chips in water anyway???? So just store it in beetroot water?

Yeah I remember it now. I remember the argument over the building.

Why "The Pink Potato?" .. I suppose "The Hungry Pig" was already taken..

I have some green bread in my bread bin that would go nicely with the pink chips..

amdublin

Okay what do we have up next? (RTE, Tv3 etc only please)

CountyHurler

Just paint the table tops pink.. how difficult is that... The way those 18th century rounded tablecloths hang down the side of the table make you feel like you've walked in to Peig Saors' kitchen..

Harry Angstrom

The problem with Adare is that it's too full of American tourists - the type that would nurse a glass of Guinness for about 3 hours. They wouldn't spend Christmas, let alone spend a few quid in The Pink Potato.
