Hall’s Pictorial Weekly in Killenaule, Co. Tipperary, Ireland 1978

The people and town of Killenaule in Tipperary star in this opening sequence to ‘Hall’s Pictorial Weekly’.
People, young and old and some of their dogs are caught on film in Killenaule for the opening sequence to ‘Hall’s Pictorial Weekly’.
Once a week from June to September, the ‘Hall’s Pictorial Weekly’ film crew would arrive at a town or village in any county in Ireland. They would film the people and the place and return to RTÉ where the footage was edited and put to music.
This short film of around one minute’s duration formed part of the opening sequence for that week’s episode. As it was not advertised as part of the programme billings in the RTÉ Guide or newspapers, people watched in the hope it was the turn of their town or village to have its moment of fame.
This episode of ‘Hall’s Pictorial Weekly’ was broadcast on 25 October 1978.
