Irish Television Stub
[edit]Well in fairness, i was a little annoyed that this programme was accompanied by a Brittish Television Stub icon(not any more as i deleted it). Clearly insulting. I'm not sure how to begin a "Stub". But it would be nice if someone could.
-- Stub Added
I cannot tell who requested this, but I have added a stub for Irish Television, and I will continue to monitor this page. Thank you for your concern. Dave.

Afric would have been a worldwide hit had it been in english:
[edit]afric is a great show.i like to watch it even though its in irish and its hard to understand but i think if it was in english it would be popular all over the world and TG4(the network its aired on) are really selling themselves short. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.78.170.83 (talk) 22:10, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
- As I said most of the world (most of Europe) doesn't speak English. And like many children's/Teen shows Aifric could be re-dubbed into numerous other languages. It is difficult to get sales for Irish programming around the world, even when in English. RTÉ have had some international success but often to countries that don't speak English, so shows like The Clinic have to either be re-dubbed or subtitled to suit that country. Also just because a programming is in a different language to your native tongue doesn't automatically mean it is not worth watching. Well done to TG4 for actually producing a Teen Drama something that RTÉ haven't done in years and something that TV3 just won't do, perhaps it is those companies selling Irish drama short.IrishTV (talk) 00:10, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline and any of them could be used, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:34, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
