KILLINASKULLY Christmas Special IV The Last Round

توضیحات:

Killinaskully is an Irish television comedy series that follows the bizarre goings‑on in a fictitious village called Killinaskully, located in the hills of Ireland. Filmed on location in the villages of Killoscully and Ballinahinch near Birdhill in County Tipperary, the title is a fusion of those two placenames. The show’s humour stems from the unusual characterisations of traditional, stereotypical rural Irish folk, and it was chiefly written by comedian Pat Shortt, who also performed many of his own roles, including Jack Walsh, Joe Rooney and Páraic Breathnach. The series has inspired themed farm‑accommodation holidays in the nearby Slieve Felim Mountain range, where visitors receive a complimentary “Jumbo Breakfast Roll” in reference to Shortt’s popular song. Produced by Shortt’s own company, Killinaskully aired on RTÉ as part of their Sunday night schedule from 2004. All five series are available on DVD and have been released in box‑set format. The fifth and final series began transmission on 28 September 2008 and concluded on 2 November 2008, with a traditional Christmas special airing the following month; two specials were broadcast in 2008. Despite a weekly audience of 800,000, Shortt chose to end the series to focus on a new show with a different style, characters, and storyline, while RTÉ continued to rerun the series as summer filler.
