Written down on a pack of Major, and secretly delivered to
Disgrace in an infamous Glory-Hole in Supermacs Galway, TV3 have launched their
latest Spring schedule. I think you’ll agree, emigration has never seemed so desirable.
Also, after receiving a coded message from a raspy voiced
Ulster-man, we can also reveal the new BBC Northern Ireland listings, under
the threat of death of course.
BBC NI Spring Season Highlights:
The Sex Counties – A
province divided by religion, yet unified by its love of all things carnal.
Tonight, borders prove no barrier to romance, when a man attaches a telescopic
device to his wee member and makes relations with a catholic in Dundalk
Border Collie – Crime drama about a dog who patrols the
border crossing in Monaghan. Tonight: Ringo (that’s his name) is run over by
train
Pipe Up! – Celebrating the best in local pipe bands. Today
we meet the Falls Road Pipers, who quickly demonstrate that rather than
‘blowing pipes’ for musical enjoyment, they prefer to ‘blow up’ pipe bombs, for
killing enjoyment - Featuring ‘Shultz’s Apricot Sonata’ on brass.
Orange Orders – CCTV footage of people ordering orange
drinks from various pubs in the province
NI on film –‘ The Lord, the Lover and the Massive Car Bomb’
– Emotional tour-de-force about a want-away lord, who falls in love, buys a car
and gets blown up. The twist is that it’s not necessarily in that order!
The Northern Irish News from Northern Ireland on BBC

TV3: Spring has sprung:
Hammered! – Saucy Ulster comedy. Finbar’s decision to rent
an inflatable castle from the Orange Order Children’s Party Commission because
it was cheaper than the other options goes off without a hitch, but when it
explodes, killing all his children, he’s left staring at the saved pennies with
a forlorn look on his face. Meanwhile, ‘up the road’. Angus is left in a quandary,
sorry, I mean, Angus is left in a QUARRY. His body, that is.

of South California’ TV3 launch their new reality based TV show about the world
of Tullamore Wives (Twilfs) – Tonight, Bernie bakes a cake for the GAA

surprises everyone by stealing his father’s legally held shotgun and holding up
a Centra

Sing like you’re whinging – Talent show where we forgo the

from Galway dazzles us with his show of grief for his dead grandmother before
breaking down during a clay pottery demonstration, and a former Christian
brothers priest arrives on stage to entertainingly confess some heinous crimes
before breaking down backstage in an emotional display of expert juggling
Peig Sayers on... – The legendary Islander is resurrected
(Mark Cagney in charity shop women’s clothing and his wife's make-up) to interview some of
Irelands most important PUBLIC figures about important issues – Tonight Peig
talks to Brian Kennedy about the Buttevant train disaster and probes Enda Kenny
about.. Well, actually, she just probes him.
GEE – TV3 presents
the Irish version of the (s)hit US show Glee – (might want to delete the ‘s’
there before publishing, LOL – Ed) – Head of Irish Special Olympics Mary Davis

classic ‘the winner takes it all’ suggesting that everyone should get a prize.
Also some shit people sing some shit songs for all the shits out there that
like shit TV
Mrs Whites Boys – TV3’s thinly veiled ‘homage’ to RTE’s Mrs
Browns boys’ gathers apace in the latest episode entitled ‘It’s all White!’-

get stuck during her morning constitutional. Cue hilarity, and a life changing punch
line, ‘I’m stuck on the jacks’
Premiere – Proud to announce that TV3 are the first
terrestrial network in the world to show the latest Angela Lansbury movie
‘Tears of my daughter’ – Filmed in 1986 but not given a release until 2008,
this taught thriller stars Ted Danson as a man who believes his daughter is the
reincarnation of his dead wife, even though his wife is not dead, and he has no
daughter. Cue much suspicion from his wife (Angela Lansbury) and his daughter (also
played by Angela Lansbury) and Angela Lansbury who is played by both his wife
and daughter. (1986, Dir. Fred West. Sepia)
Hammered - The NI comedy is back with a bang. Literally, the

ironically had a strictly no car-bomb policy!
