[QUOTE="Carrie Fairchild, post: 437212, member: 673"] As it happens, RTE actually inspired ITV. [I]Glenroe[/I] is the last of a trilogy of rural soaps, starting with [I]The Riordans[/I], which first aired in 1965. When ITV were launching [I]Emmerdale Farm[/I] in the 70’s, they visited Ireland to see RTE’s techniques for filming [I]The Riordans[/I] on the farm and in outdoor settings. When [I]The Riordans[/I] ended, it spawned [I]Bracken[/I], a two season spinoff that transplanted Gabriel Byrne’s character from Kilkenny to the Wicklow Mountains. When it ended after two years, two [I]Bracken[/I] characters (played by Mick Lally and Joe Lynch) moved down off the mountain, to launch [I]Glenroe[/I]. [/QUOTE]
