Blaxland 89 Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 ROI isn't part of the UK. I'm unsure about the interest I'd have in one of these "Behind the Scenes" specials. They've certainly rolled out Blake's mum/the cook enough times! Ha ha ha. Every second ice cream is a mash potato. Sorry Tris, I just couldn't resist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ter06 Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 RTE have revealed the show is called Reality Bites. Vogue has said it explores everything about H&A and she didnt realize how popular it was or how obsessed the Irish are until she filmed it. I'm guessing its air date will tie in with Kates story as she filmed a segment with her. Being Irish myself but living in the UK it's sometimes hard to explain to people how popular the show is at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexx Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 ^Is it just as popular today as is always has been or has the interest or ratings changed much in the recent past? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light of the Bay Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 I can't speak for Ireland but definitely in the UK. Most people I know stopped watching years ago and I don't think it's reached 1 million in ratings for several years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sindikatas Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 I wish I could know how it would have been in my country with ratings, but TV stations in here in this century always treated H&A with little respect and were more concerned about precious and glamorous US dramas.

No idea about ratings but you can watch it about 6 or more times a day or whatever it is now over the 4 channels I think the problem H&A have here with ratings is that a lot of people watch online. Doesn't help that it has just gone on a break and the uk will now be about 8 weeks behind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ter06 Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 ^Is it just as popular today as is always has been or has the interest or ratings changed much in the recent past? I think it's as popular. Sure, ratings have dropped but they have for every show. In Ireland each episode gets three airings and is also available on catch up (and is one of the most popular shows on the catch up service). Steve Peacock, Luke Smith and Dan Ewing have all done promotional tours of the country this year with huge success and Ray Meagher is doing one at Christmas so this also helps to stir up interest in the show.

MACYLIGHTFOOT Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 You guys probably saw this last year but just in answer to how popular it is here.... there was a video did the rounds last summer of Irish football fans at Euro 2012 in Poland trying to drown out Croatian fans chants on a bus.... http://youtu.be/-hHGan5YIWg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
