Uncanny.
Love/Hate alumni Aiden Gillen and Tom Vaughan Lawlor as Charles Haughey and PJ Mara In Charlie (top) the BIG drama in the RTÉ Autumn schedule launched today [see below].
Needs more sneer.
Meanwhile…
GAA’s only out star Donal Og Cusack in Pride, a documentary about LGBT life in Ireland in the last 30 years (this Autumn).
RTÉ One Launches a Dramatic New Season of Programming (RTE)

D O’C. looks a lot like Stephen Fry in that photo.
Let’s hope Gillen can stick to one Irish accent per scene. And preferably one from Ireland rather than Hollywood.
I love aiden Gillen, he is hands down the worst actor I have ever seen in anything.
His Carcetti in the Wire was excellent
Carcetti annoyed me and that was before I knew he was Irish so you could say I was even more objective.
He was grand. But everything Else I’ve seen him in he’s like someone who completely how to talk. Like a deaf person doing an impersonation of late era Batman
insert a “forgot” into that last comment between “completely” and “how”
I was saying only yesterday, that I have never lost so much respect for an actors abilities as I have with Aidan Gillen. I thought he very was good in The Wire, but can’t believe how sh1t he has become.
Check his accent in series on of Game of Thrones against the latest series….. in that any every other recent role he’s playing a thoughtful, exaggerated,Irish pirate.
Woeful!
Hehe yea. Very stilted intonation
His accent was crap in The Wire too. He made House MD’s American accent sound believable. His accent in Cavalry takes the cake though. SO SO bad.
Jonathan Rhys Meyers is another Irish actor who can’t do an Irish accent.
Wojus.
I hear ya… it was on the back of watching Calvary that I was making my comments. Absolutely terrible.
If he wants to continue his acting career, he should either get a voice coach, or sack his voice coach.
Tom Vaughan is the spit of Mara!
Yum Donal Og Cusack…
To be fair thats a bit of a s**t line up from RTE, how in a country of creative and literary people can RTE still regurgitate the same old sh**e is beyond me.
Because none of the creative or literary people work in RTE
If you would care to actually watch before you judge.
The Fall is an excellent piece of drama with Dornan and Anderson playing really great characters.
*rummages for outrage*
More and more of the gay-agenda from RTE!
RTE is anti-Catholic!
…etc.
No, seriously, these should be good. I’ll be watching anyway :)
Did you miss that fact there is a religious section in the line up? I will watch the Donal Og doc but don’t fool herself that rte didn’t just commission that to try get back all their LGBT viewership that they alienated last year.
Yerself not herself, stupid auto correct.
In fairness, one of the documentaries listed under the “Religious Programming” section is well worth viewing. One Million Dubliners, about Glasnevin Cemetery, is a great watch. Caught it at the Galway Film Fleadh recently & it’s as far from RTE’s usual preachy brown nosing of the church as it’s possible to be.
The Religious line up of programming is RTE’s promise to bring more fiction to Irish TV…
I didn’t Drogg, I wuz messin’ :)
Looking forward to that Glasnevin one too.
No second series of Amber? Booooo!
RTÉ Autumn schedule.
I’m surprised there’s no, Des Bishop goes to Crimea, or Des Bishop goes to Jail, or Des Bishop in Love/Hate, or Des Bishop is Lovin’ Dublin and Lovin’ Berlin next.
毕瀚生
Des = Bishop… in which our hero joins the seminary and climbs the ranks of the church in Ireland over the course of only 6 weeks
Actual LOL from me.
John Credon undertakes to rid all of our rivers and lakes of litter and pollution.
Credon’s Clear Water Revival.
Nice one!
+1
Very good.
Unbeatable I’d say.
Superb!
Gillen looking a bit like Gary Oldman there in the second picture.
No Aiden! Stop the ugly!
RTEeeeee… over here… I know I’m only a woman but I do pay my licence fee. I do love Gillian Anderson’ s character in The Fall. More women like her please…. The Fall was the only thing in that trailer with any women in it and one of them was at the kitchen sink. Which is where I’ll go now. Sorry RTE. How dare I.
