31 Oct 2012 | It may be a typically dull and dreary day in north Co Dublin but the small, seaside town of Rush is alive with activity. In off the main street four or five heavy duty lorries are parked beside a number of trailers and temporary dressing rooms.
22 Oct 2012 | Irish actress Victoria Smurfit has co-written a TV pilot with ‘Make It or Break It’ creator Holly Sorenson which is currently in development with ABC in America.
22 Oct 2012 | As ‘Love/Hate’ gets set to wrap filming on its much-anticipated third season tomorrow (May 11), IFTN visits the set of the IFTA winning RTÉ series on-location in Dublin.
13 Sep 2012 | Commissioning a second series of a show before the first one even airs is virtually unheard of in the TV world. Chris O’Dowd and Nick Vincent Murphy’s ‘Moone Boy’, however, has achieved this feat ahead of its air date tomorrow night (September 14) on Sky One.
10 Sep 2012 | Johnny Vegas, stand up comedian and actor, has landed a role in Chris O’Dowd’s Roscommon-based series ‘Moone Boy’. Playing an English wrestler who is the imaginary friend of a 10 year-old boy from Boyle, Vegas seems weirdly more at home with this part than any of his previous comic roles.
05 Sep 2012 | With its mix of light drama and warm humour, Grand Pictures production ‘Trivia’ built up a loyal cult following on RTÉ last year thanks to clever scripts by Damien Owens and stellar performances by an Irish cast led by Co Down actor David Pearse.
