Some very interesting shows happening out in Montrose.
From the Rubberbandits Guide to 1916 to Louise McSharry’s personal journey in F**k Cancer, the new RTÉ2 season sees more Irish-produced documentaries, comedy and entertainment for 15-34 year olds than any other channel in Ireland.
20 new episodes of the hard-hitting Reality Bites strand featuring Louise McSharry as she tells her deeply personal journey of battling cancer; Nine Stone Lighter follows Jules Coll through her life changing gastric-band surgery; and RTÉ 2fm Breakfast Republic’s Keith Walsh and other volunteers subject themselves to gruelling training and nutrition plans in pursuit of the perfect body in The Gun Show.
Baz Ashmawy returns to RTÉ2 to explore his Muslim heritage in a compelling new documentary series, The Lost Muslim. Other new factual programming includes two-part series The Guards which goes behind the scenes of frontline policing in Dublin’s city centre.
Panti comes to RTÉ2 as the feature length documentary Panti: The Queen of Ireland follows Ireland’s most famous drag queen and self-styled “accidental activist”.
Comedy continues to play a key role on the channel as The Republic of Telly spawns another hit with 80’s-tastic pair Bridget and Eamon getting their own series, while The Rubberbandits’ Guide to 1916 provides a crash course in Irish history.
We can’t wait.
