Millstreet in 1974 – Hall’s Pictorial Weekly

Hall’s Pictorial Weekly was an early comedy series that ran on RTÉ from 1971 to 1980. Each week, the ‘Hall’s Pictorial Weekly’ film crew would arrive at a town or village in any county in Ireland. They would film the people and the place and return to RTÉ where the footage was edited and put to music. This short film of around one minute’s duration formed part of the opening sequence for that week’s episode. As it was not advertised as part of the programme billings in the RTÉ Guide or newspapers, people watched in the hope it was the turn of their town or village to have its moment of fame. In  the summer of 1974, it was Millstreet’s turn, with video sequences from the Square, Main Street, and the West End.

Enjoy, and if you recognise any of the people in the video or the images below, please do let us know.

Eily’s Report – 1st April

Dia is Mhuire díobh go léir a cáirde and welcome to my report.

Watch it, mind yourself, this is Fools Day, April the first. In olden times it was a day to be dreaded because somebody might make a fool of you. It was all very innocent really. Say to a pal or sibling ‘your lace is ripped or there is a mouse on the shelf above you etc.’ and of course you’d jump  or react and then you were called an April Fool making you feel foolish that you got caught. Then you’d spend the rest of the day trying to catch them back but great fun for the one who caught you. It was always a relief when the end of the day came and you were free from pranksters for another year.  There’s a lot of that sort of humour gone out of the world today and it’s a pity.
