KILLINASKULLY S02E01 "The Election"

توضیحات:

Killinaskully is gripped with election fever as the local elections take place. Councillor Willie Power is expected to hold his seat, however, he is challenged by Dieter Langer of the Green Party. Meanwhile chaos ensues in Jacksie's when his niece takes pink Snacks off the menu. Killinaskully is an Irish television comedy series that details the bizarre goings‑on in a fictitious Irish village called Killinaskully located in the hills of Ireland. It was filmed on location in the villages of Killoscully and Ballinahinch near Birdhill in County Tipperary, and the title is a fusion of these two placenames. The show’s humour comes from the unusual characterisations of traditional, stereotypical rural Irish folk. It was chiefly written by comedian Pat Shortt, who also performed many of his own roles, starring among them were Jack Walsh, Joe Rooney and Páraic Breathnach. The series was produced by Shortt’s own company and was broadcast by RTÉ as part of their Sunday night schedule from 2004. All five series are available on DVD and have since been released in box set format. The fifth and final series began transmission on 28 September 2008 and ceased on 2 November 2008, although a traditional special at Christmas time aired as normal the following month; in 2008 there were two such specials. Despite a weekly audience of 800,000, Shortt has stated that the fifth was the final series as he wished to concentrate on the development of a new show with a new style, characters and storyline. RTÉ continued to rerun the series as summer filler.
