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.
