RTÉ delivers autumn home grown schedule

GLENROE and The Riordans are history but a new RTÉ television series will be screened this autumn which may placate viewers hoping for the return of a series reflecting country life on the small screen.

RTÉ delivers autumn home grown schedule

Entitled Pure Mule, it is set in contemporary rural Ireland - a midlands market town - and is expected to include scenes featuring alcohol and drugs.

It’s an Ireland that scarcely remembers hard times and where no one goes to Mass. Young people leave the town but return to settle down. They sleep around and a 24-year-old virgin is a figure of fun and embarrassment to his mother. It’s enough to make poor Tom Riordan turn in his grave.
