highly original

Podge and Rodge - 'A Scare at Bedtime' is one of the funniest shows to have emerged from Ireland in the past ten years. Exploding on to T.V. channels in 1997, the show chronicles two brothers, (Podge, the pipe smoking, elegantly dressed one - & Rodge, the short ugly pervert) who live in a huge mansion which was formerly an asylum in the fictional town of Ballydung.

Each night Rodge comes home, tells Podge what he did that day and then Podge proceeds to tell Rodge a 'scary' horror story, usually involving crazy and unbelievable set-ups. For anyone not in the know, Podge and Rodge are puppets, controlled and voiced by the same voice-artists who created the Bronx Bunny Show.

I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to get a huge amount of laughs out of an eight minute show.
