New web episodes of Fade Street and Conor Behan’s hilarious Following Fade Street are available to watch all this week on the RTE Player. The omnibus version of the epiosdes will be airing on Thursday 1st and 8th of December at 10.50pm on RTÉ Two. Shut up, that’s awesome!
Just stumbled across this online. Cici (from Fade Street) picks her favourite musical moments from the show. All the music featured on Fade Street was from Irish bands/artists and there’s a good cross section included in this video from Delorentos to U2, Hystero to Fionn Regan. Finding all the music for the show was a collaberative effort but a lot of the work was done by our fantastic editor in Screen Scene, Derek Holland.
I’m knee deep in the edit of Celebrity Salon at the moment. This is the second series of the TV3 reality show but my first time directing it. It’s a simple format, six celebrities from the UK and Ireland are trained in the art of beautification, from waxing to facials and even some hair cutting and styling. At the end of the fortnight spent living and learning together, two finalists are chosen to go head-to-head in a final beauty challenge… there can be only one!
It’s been a really fun show to work on, thanks largely to our six incredibly entertaining celebs - Calum Best (son of legendary footballer George Best), Rosanna Davison (Model/Miss World 2003), Abi Titmuss (Model/Actress), Georgia Salpa (Model), Alan Hughes (TV Presenter) and Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace (Actress/Big Brother 7 Contestant).
I’ll be posting clips and promos as we get closer to the first air date - June 6th.
A somewhat disturbing Fade Street/Orphan mashup!

Was very excited to see that Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon have decided to collaborate on a new comedy show called “The Trip”. Coogan and Brydon play “Curb Your Enthusiasm” style versions of themselves just as they did in the brilliant 2005 Michael Winterbottom film “Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story”. (Winterbottom is also back to direct here.)
Imagine my disappointment when I went to the BBC’s website and saw that for some reason it’s only being showed in England, Scotland and Wales. Replacing it in BBC NI’s schedule is “Pop Goes Northern Ireland”. Maybe that’ll be just as good.
*** UPDATE: The Trip is shown at the later time of 23.50 on BBC Northern Ireland on Monday nights. YAY! ***
