A trip down memory lane.
One of the TV highlights of Christmas was on RTE last night as Well Holy God It’s Glenroe brought Irish people of a certain vintage right back to a simpler time.
Glenroe was one of the biggest shows in the country for well over a decade with one million viewers on a Sunday night at its peak.
The special last night looked back on how the show worked and why it was so successful as well as looking at some of the biggest storylines down through the years.
Here’s the best reaction from Twitter.
For anyone like me, who never had their homework done by 8.30pm on Sunday, the Glenroe music still sends a shiver up the spine.#Glenroe

My mother would let my sister and I watch #Glenroe until the immoral bits came on. There would be coughing and tea then.

A lovely programme about #Glenroe. Like a lot of the best things in rural Ireland, it's no longer with us

Biggest surprise about #Glenroe look-back is that the programme was still going in 2001. Could not explain appeal of the series to kids.

Such happy childhood memories. When #Glenroe started on a Sunday night it was the end of the w'end – bed straight afterwards. A boxset!!!??

I never got over the time that Miley, a character from the Riordans spinoff Bracken, listened to the Riordans on the tractor radio. #Glenroe

If they can reboot #StarWars, they can do it with #Glenroe! #WellHolyGod

Glorious #Glenroe nostalgia. Sorry not to see more of @isobelmahon "the wan out of Dublin". Very glad to have known Joe Lynch.
