PRESENTED WIT MINIMAL comment: the hellish landscape that was Irish television in 2008:
1. The Six One studio looked like this
2. Celebrity Bainisteoir launched in 2008 – and among the managers were Glenda Gilson
3. And Gerald Kean
4. It was the year that this happened to Pat Kenny on the Late Late
5. And Gerry Ryan temporarily took up the hotseat
6. Seoige and O’Shea graced the RTÉ afternoon telly couch
7. And Jake Stephens was everywhere that year
8. It was a time that politicians answered shiftily on the shaky affairs of a nation
9. This is what Telly Bingo looked like back in 2008
10. And Fair City was still producing storylines like this
11. There was a show on RTÉ called Capital D
12. The Cafe was an ever present after school
13. Ray was hosting The Rose of Tralee
14. A little drama called Raw started on RTÉ
15. And it was the first year we saw Bill Cullen heading up the Irish Apprentice on TV3
The “inner city boy done good” produced some serious drama straight out the gate.
