I remember this show well,it was an hilarious take on Irish politics both local and National in the 1970's and early 80's. Frank Hall was an under-rated genius, playing straight man to the antics of Frank Kelly, Eamonn Morrisey and the rest of the cast. Parodies of governmental figures of the time were spot on! Frank Kelly and Eamonn Morrisey have since come to be a couple of Irelands greatest character actors. Such characters as Cha and Miah, the local County Council, and inhabitants of the fictional village of Ballykillferret, all very funny and unforgettable. Stories ripped from the week's headlines, were parodied to the great glee of the general public, however it didn't go down well with the politicians of the day, I guess you could say it was controversial. The Best of the series(in two volumes)is now available, it would be nice if I could get it in NTSC
