QUIZ: Which 1990s Irish TV show are you?
How alike are you really to Podge and Rodge?
WHILE THE US was producing the likes of Saved By The Bell, Buffy The Vampire Slayer and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, we had our own TV gold being streamed into sitting rooms around the country.
From seeing Dara Ó’Briain, Derek Mooney and Bláthnaid Ní Chofaigh in their formative years on Echo Island to the timeless comedy perfection that is Father Ted, we certainly punched above our weight in the nineties.
Or at least, we all have a real grá for that TV decade. Even if The Den will at this stage, probably never win an IFTA, we still miss Zig and Zag terribly.
