What you may need to know:
1. Ian Power‘s drama recreates the night in September 2008 when the government decided to guarantee the Irish banking system.
2. This evening the part of David Drumm will be played by Fran from Love/Hate, and Amber’s dad will be Brian Lenihan.
3. If you’re wondering why there’s no sign of Bertie, it’s because he’d cashed in his chips six months previously. Besides, he had no idea what was going on anyway. No siree bob.
4. They should have got Barry Murphy to play Angela Merkel. Stroking a cat.
5. Other names under consideration were “The Buggering,” “The Shafting” and “The Hazing.”
6. Shame this wasn’t postponed until the run up to the next general election.
7. Matt Cooper will be hosting a satellite link-up hour of rage at selected (scroll down) premiere screenings.
7. Broadsheet Prognosis: Prepare to have your p1ss boiled all over again.
Release Date: October 30 (at selected cinemas)

There will be an hour of rage satellite link up, Ivan Yates will be on the panel anyway.
Ivan Yates is an early age, €80k a year pension gobbling leech that we pay for. The man shouldn’t even be getting a pension for another 12 years… who cares what that DOB mouth piece says.
He was like some whimpering child during his bankruptcy with his ‘oh poor me, I have to go to England, and then went on national radio to declare… ‘I only have €3,000 a month to live on’ …he’s on more, he couldn’t even reduce his cash in hand at the end of the month to something to garner sympathy. He’s shallow, untrustworthy, full of sh*t and he’s a complete pillock.
Are you aware that you posted the trailer yesterday as well?
If not, you did.
Sorry Birneybau2. The Trailer Park is like a separate kingdom. They make their own rules.
Double Irish, double trailer.
Haha ! :)
So many points you lost count… two 7’s.
-1 point for missing out on the obvious casting opportunity of David Caruso to play David McWilliams, Brian Lenihan (an aged up Nathan Lane) knocking on his door maniacally eating garlic, David Caruso trying to say things like “breakfast roll Bob’s” in a D4 accent, they could have re-titled it ‘the David McWilliams option’…
