All improvised and off the cuff .. you'd never see this in any other country in the world - absolutely Irish in every sense of the word - the ability to keep going without any script and this hilarious - almost pythonesque.

The Den was fantastic. I used to love every summer when we would come over to the Irish republic and watch this in the afternoon. CBBC didn't have the same feeling.

That's how a podge episode always ended on the den. Podge would screw up somehow/ or let himself be known towards the end after his 'fun'. There was one den episode wehre Podge posed as a builder and at the end before the end credits of the den he left ray dustin and soky with a card that Ray then read out loud after podge left 'Happy Friday the 13th Podge' . Podge had left the den with laders and sheets covering the whole den.

Is there archives kept of all the times podge popped up on the den between 1993-1997? I can't believe Echo Island lasted into 1997 i thought it stopped after 1996!
