‘Love/Hate’ to wipe out box set competition

DVD sales of RTÉ crime drama Love/Hate are set to wipe out all competition over Christmas — a bit like the characters in the series itself.

Over 75,000 box sets of the award-winning series have been pre-ordered from RTÉ’s online shop as well as other retailers in the run up to Christmas.

Shipment to outlets around the country of what is likely to be a popular gift was delayed until yesterday to coincide with the screening of the final episode in the third series on Sunday night.
