Irish Lives

Has anyone heard of this mockumentary?

No!

It might have changed its name and its format? Try an investigation of the sitcom related material of the site?

I make no apologies for my sneakiness!

Any other information, Paul?

Sitcom Geek Podcasts?

EDIT: Well, I Googled the words "Irish Lives" and "mockumentary" and the answer came up straightaway, but maybe that would be cheating?

Are you thinking of The Young Offenders?

No. Where do you get that title from?

The answer can be found here: https://www.comedy.co.uk/podcasts/sitcom_geeks/episode_65/

From it being about Irish people.

I'm confused by this thread.

Listen to the podcast. I could just tell you, but that is no fun.

Well you're the one who asked the question!

It's to test your knowledge.

As you have given up, I'll tell you that that it was when Graham Linehan was planning Father Ted he thought of it being one episode of a mockumentary called Irish Lives but the idea was scrapped.

It's strange how unfamiliar "familiar" shows may be. Like Only Fools was called Readies.
