Scantily clad persons taking part in the birth of a calf?

We’re not in Ros na Run anymore, Toto.

TG4 Note:The birth was overseen by a vet and the calf was “standing on its feet 20 minutes after the birth”.

But why?

To promote a new travel documentary series for TG4 called Wwoofáil created by Publicis Dublin. Wwoofáil/Wwoofing (World-Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms) is a trend where people combine a holiday with organic farm work to get free accommodation and food. The series begins Thursdays at 10pm on TG4, from 21st March and runs for 6 weeks.

Fair enough.

I work on TG4’s alternative music show Ceol ar an Imeall. Our new season is starting tomorrow and features some great up and coming artists from around the country. Some of the artists you’ve linked to in the past so I thought you might be interested. It might be a show that would interest many readers of this site.

Ceol ar an Immeal is on tomorrow (Tuesday) on TG4 at 11pm.

Behind the scenes: Kool Thing and The Lost Brothers.

The stuffini of nightmares.

Am an Ghátair – a new series on TG4  of tales of the unexpected from the War of Independence.

Producer Ciara Nic Chormaic writes:

Am an Ghátair looks at two personal and stranger than fiction stories from the war of independence period, one is about a bleeding statue in Templemore and the other is an IRA kidnapping of a child in 1920. The one called ‘Real Mary’ is the face of one of the original statues which supposedly bled tears of blood. It was discovered in an attic and given to us when we were researching the story!

The TG4 schedule for Autumn/Winter is out.

Ta capall bas ag flogini.

From RTE Ten:

New show Jockey Eile was announced and it looks set to be horseracing’s answer to the X Factor – if you can imagine that. Seán Bán Breathnach (above) will present the reality show and mentor the budding race jockeys, who are competing for a chance to race at Naas. Breathnach described himself to RTÉ TEN as a bit of a Simon Cowell, whereas he said his sidekick, GAA legend Joe Connolly, was definitely the calmer judge of the pair.

He said: “As the shows progress you will see that I become the Simon Cowell of the show. I am the bad boy. I have to make the final decision and I tell you there was hard words spoken up to my face and behind my back by the participants.”

Íosa.

Críost.
