Hall’s Pictorial Weekly in Tipperary Town, Ireland 1975

The people of Tipperary Town are the stars of this opening sequence to ‘Hall’s Pictorial Weekly’.
Pedestrians, dog walkers, cyclists and motorists go about their daily business in the town of Tipperary.
Landmarks in the town include a statue of poet and novelist Charles J Kickham located outside Centro supermarket and has stood on this spot since 1898.
This episode of ‘Hall’s Pictorial Weekly’ was broadcast on 26 February 1975.
Once a week, from June to September, the ‘Hall’s Pictorial Weekly’ film crew would arrive at a town or village in any county in Ireland. They would film the people and the place and return to RTÉ where the footage was edited and put to music.
This short film of around one minute’s duration formed part of the opening sequence for that week’s episode. No one knew which location had been chosen, and it was not advertised as part of the programme billings in the RTÉ Guide or newspapers.
So with this in mind, people the length and breadth of the country tuned in religiously, in case it was the turn of their town or village to have its few minutes of fame.
