TWEETS: Aprés Match’s election special went down a treat with viewers last night

Excellent as usual from the Aprés Match boys.

TV viewers in Ireland have been inundated with programmes related to the general election in the last few weeks, but to describe some them as entertaining would be stretching it just a tad. There was welcome relief from what we’ve become accustomed to last night with the Aprés Match Election ’82 special on RTE 2. Laughs were in plentiful supply as the usual crew shared nostalgic clips from the campaign trail from over 30 years ago, with current celebrities (played by the Aprés Match cast, of course) adding their memories into the mix too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7ygBgNTJXg Clip via RTÉ TV Promotions Aprés Match always gets a good reception but there seemed to be an extra outpouring of admiration for their efforts last night; after all, with footage of a devilishly handsome Des Cahill as seen in the picture below, what’s not to love? https://twitter.com/DTreacy_plesh/status/702626486776418306 https://twitter.com/ElizabethKehoe1/status/702739166954692608 https://twitter.com/philipnolan1/status/702634171139821568 https://twitter.com/Mark_Coughlan/status/702632811212177408 https://twitter.com/johnjgreene/status/702632505334173697 https://twitter.com/alanmilton/status/702632153650225157 https://twitter.com/garethoconnor/status/702627439470579712 https://twitter.com/suzybie/status/702629529119023104 https://twitter.com/conorphoto/status/702649761292292097 https://twitter.com/Sportsmad54/status/702644265936166917 https://twitter.com/BerniceHarrison/status/702645166755225601 https://twitter.com/conorphoto/status/702643792827031552
