Reeling In The Years review: Characters from the crash era felt very familiar

As the new series kicked off in 2010, Brian Cowen, Amy Huberman and the cast of Love/Hate were among those who featured at a time when the economic collapse overshadowed almost everything

Reeling the Years covered 2010. 

We’re all going to die!! In the past, Reeling in the Years ( RTÉ One Sunday 8.30pm) was in the past. Charlie Haughey, Princess Di, Mary Robinson, Packie Bonner and that save, they were older people when I was watching. But now that we’re up to 2010, it feels a bit like yesterday.

A lot of the people making the news are still around; some of the music they play feels like it should still be in the charts. The only clue it was a while back is that some familiar faces look so young. They should have called this series You Do Realise You’re Getting Old?
