The pubs all went silent when the Riordans came on..beautiful times

I’m also related to this guy. So the people in the comments I’m related to all of you

He’s from my town

Only a small number of episodes have survived. Given that VT recording was so expensive back then, the rest were wiped after transmission.

Dissapointing only a few minutes of the programme please put up the whole programe

Holy smokes my life has been recharged I remember the records s what a real organic show . Binjey a reference to cow dung. I grown up in a farm in co cork I understand . I now liv in USA for the last 30 years . I miss the smell of binge. I live in NY for 30 years and I miss my mother land with all my heart and soul .this show takes me so far back❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

OMG I met your dad, Michael / Chris O'Neill, with Benji when I was about 4 at a country fair down the country. He was lovely. Picked me up a gave me a kiss and a hug. Always remember his kindness. Probably was 1971/72.

I love this Aisling!

Could you t up the whole programme in HD,thats only the beginning bit,thats no good only putting up a bit of the programme,put up it all the full episode,thanks

I wonder if I'm related to him

Why doesn't RTE rerun The Riordans? Why isn't there a The Complete Riordans DVD set?

Heidi of three years ago.Your anti Catholic remarks are rude.

Is there anywhere I can see the full programme?

I've read that the Riordans was one of the first TV series ever filmed using mainly outdoor sets and cameras. Also, movie tape was expensive, so, being RTE, the producers used the same tapes and taped over older episodes to record new ones. That's given as the main reason why there's little or no footage still around today.

Great that enjoyed it immensely.....

I Remember Frankie Byrne Well & Her Dear Frankie, My Nana & My Ma Used To Sit & Listen To It Over A Nice Cuppa, I Only Heard Frankie Byrne Whenever I Was Off School.

any chance of getting a complete copy of this documentary?

This was flimed where I live, my dad had a walk-on part when he was younger

Why has The Riordans never been rebroadcast and released on DVD? Surely there would be a massive audience for it all over again? I've just finished reading Wesley Burrowes 1977 book about the series and it's fascinating

Lovely tribute video. [email protected]

Im just batty about minnie! RTE should repeat the Riordans.It would bring in more viewers than a lot of what is being currently shown.

I loved Kitty the Hare!

... brought to you by Jacob's biscuits!

Thats nice to hear. If memory serves me correctly,didnt Pamela have a part in the Archers on BBC?

Hello how can I down load a programme from this era oliver

Ah the good old days, when the country was completely overrun by the catholic church... I'd say most of these "old-fashioned values" were left behind for good reason.

a sad story,I remember as a young man standing out side the oval bar and looking at the best photo,of jack doyle i had ever seen,i often wonder where it went to.Many years later i worked with jack doyle ,in the international hotel in bray,a flower in his lapel,a hankey from his breast pocket, and he still could look well.I found him very interesting to talk to.R.I.P. regards, Tony Sadar.

Jesus I haven't heard that tune since the early 70s when I went to me grannies for my half twelve school break from Jamess St CBS. She'd sit in the corner with her cuppa saying shush and blessing herself if she heard "dirty words" like breast, or kissed me or mini skirt. They were great and happy Rare Oul Times
