Not a one you see mentioned often but [Martina Cole’s The Take](https://youtu.be/IaDhXmO_AVw?is=m2-_WuTEjEaFAjV4) was the first big thing that launched Tom Hardy, around the same thing that he did Bronson. A lot of it was filmed in Dublin as a stand in for London.
If you haven’t seen it, I’d give it a watch. Pretty sure they’re all up on YouTube.

I think Foundation is partially filmed here, so was Nightflyers (both in old Dell factory in Limerick)

Wednesday. They moved from Bulgaria to Wicklow for season 2. I’ve seen some of the crew (not the actors though) at my work. I’ve seen some of the Vikings crew as well, including those for the upcoming Bloodaxe show.

The Actors.
Dylan Moran and Michael Caine are struggling actors who use their acting skills to swindle Dublin gangsters out of their money.

„Song of the sea“ is a fantastic and beautiful animated film about Irish folklore. „The book of kells“ and „wolf walkers“ are made by the same folks and are also definitely worth a watch.

Butcher boy wouldnt be my favourite film but it was perfectly cast, written and directed and deserves a mention when discussing irish films. Be warned if you haven’t seen it that it is unhinged.

Hmmm …. maybe *The Boys from County Hell.*

Intermission is a very underrated Irish film. It’s also on YouTube if anyone wants to watch it. Great cast with Cillian Murphy and Colin Farrell.

War of the Buttons. My family is from Union Hall so love seeing their home place and the areas we frequent when we visit (ie Nolans)
Also Becoming Jane.
And I loved The Tudors when it came but now I can’t remove the locations from the story.

I met Dave Finnegan in Manchester airport probably just after Christmas in 91. I was 7. I didn’t know what the Commitments were but an air hostess told me he was famous. She gave me a pen and some printer paper – the kind with the holes on the side you’d strip off. Dave was wearing a brown leather jacket with fringing and cowboy boots.
I excitedly ran up to him and asked for his autograph. To which he replied “ah no, not another bleeding autograph” or something to that effect.
Anyway Dave if you’re reading this now, you were an absolute prick, fuck you…from 7 year old me!
