What you may need to know

1. Lilyhammer Season One divided audiences. Haters gonna hate, but hey, we had a blast.

2. The concept: The Sopranos meets Fargo (1996). In Norway.

3. Steve Van Zandt – for an actor, he’s one hell of a guitar player.

4. It’s biggest thing ever on Norwegian telly. In the US, its part of the Netflix revolution. Here, you’ll find it on BBC4.

5. Broadsheet Prognosis: They should set Season Three in Donegal.

Screening Date: Spring

You may recall the jingling Skerries, Co Dublin potato van.

Via Skerries:

Brenda Donohue of RTE [Radio] is coming out to Skerries this morning and will be with Chris Lee [above] in his musical potato van. If you see him give him a warm welcome.

 

Hang on, weren’t Chris’ roosters €4 last week (see link below)?

Damn you fame-cashing-in musical potato van man.

Update: We were mistaken..The rooster prices are unchanged (see comments). Sorry Chris.

Banks moved on over 50 Mayo property-owners who were before last week’s sitting of the County Registrar’s Court about difficulties relating to mortgages and other loans.
An unprecedented 56 cases – the majority of which were in the early stages of litigation involving Civil Bills for repossession – were processed by Mr Fintan Murphy, the County Registrar. This time last year there were only about two such cases before the same court.
One young couple with a small baby told the court that they were served with notice of the proceedings even though they were just tenants of a property …Another couple before the court explained that they would not be able to maintain their mortgage because their marriage had broken down.
