'Fair City' Celebrates 25 Years
16 Sep 2014 :
Popular Irish Soap ‘Fair City’ to celebrate 25 years of broadcasting this week.
RTE One’s ‘Fair City’ celebrate its’ 25th anniversary this Thursday, 18th September, 2014.

'Fair City' first hit Irish screens in September 1989 broadcasting just once a week, with the aim of the soap being to cater storylines so they best reflected the values and mores of community life in Ireland. In 1989, all exterior shots were recorded in the Barron Place area of Drumcondra in Dublin with many locals having to fill in as extras. The show then moved south side to Montrose in RTE in 1991.

The soap steadily grew in popularity and today broadcasts four times a week to approximately 474,000 people.

‘Fair City is 25 years young’, said Brigie deCourcy, Executive Producer of the show. ‘The cast and crew have worked extremely hard to create some spectacular storylines for this milestone anniversary and I think audiences will be on the edge of their seats when the storylines hit screens this week’.

In addition to the special episodes planned this week, the pilot of the show will be aired on RTE Player on Tuesday, 16th September. There will also be a special ‘Behind the Scenes’ show on Thursday the 18th September documenting the making of the 25th Anniversary episodes, as well as interviews with cast and crew, such as Clelia Murphy and Tony Tormey, better known in the show as married couple Niamh and Paul Brennan.

‘Reaching 25 years is an incredible achievement and the popularity of the show is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the wonderful cast, writers and crew’, concluded Jane Gogan, Head of Drama in RTE Television.
