The scene in the last episode where the camera pans to the Fitz in his army uniform is one of the most powerful scenes RTÉ ever recorded. Heartbreaking. Tremendous series/film
+1
Sort of typical it’s not available. It can be got online on DVD, but somehow…
it was available on youtube last year
Ye, I remember Lookleft were banging on about it.
‘This video contains content from RTE, who has blocked it on the grounds that it has been downhill all the way since they made Strumpet City and they don’t want people to be reminded of the fact. Particularly when the licence fee is going to subsidise the luxurious lifestyles of non-entities like Brendan O’Connor, Ryan Turbridy and Pat Kenny.’
It’s an interesting point re crazed PS funded salaries of the latter crew and just what could be achieved with those wages.
I’m just waiting for a public sector rep to turn the tables and quiz Pat Kenny, Joe Duffy or Marian Finucane live on air about their wages and become a hero overnight.
RMT Gen Sec Bob Crow did it to a BBC inquisitor pillorying London Underground rail workers’ wage demands and it gave the argument a whole different complexion when the spluttering Beeb hack had recovered from the shock.
Not sure where Turbridy stands on the matter, but O’Connor and Kenny are, as you know, rabidly anti-public sector. Like lots of other areas the money being funnelled into the pockets of, eh, ‘stars’ while most of the rank of file in RTE, including many immensely talented programme makers, make do with less and less.
but they could be pouched by competitors!
There are no replacements what with Ireland be an island and the abundance of employment
Noticed Rebel Heart has disappeared of You Tube and isn’t available on DVD.
