MISSED CALL - Channel 5 - 9pm - Monday, April 13th Let me begin by saying I have been such a huge fan of Joanna Scanlan ever since her SUPERB performance as Terri Coverley in The Thick Of It! So I was beyond thrilled when @first_element_postproduction was selected as post-production partner for this new five-part series, Missed Call, starring her, Rupert Graves & Robert Lindsay, which premieres tonight on Channel 5! It's a cracking series and PERFECT Monday evening 📺 viewing. Trust me, you'll LOVE IT!

Turbulence - The Story of Ryanair RTE Mon 16th March - 9:35pm What's this you say? Surely not ANOTHER excellent documentary series from my pals in @allkind.media ? I am SO excited for this to air tonight! This is a cracking documentary, and while I may be biased as post supervisor, it brilliantly tells the story of not only Ryanair & the man behind its success, but also touches on the changes in the country over the last 40 years, some in no small part to Ryanair and its cheap flight model. Also its full of wonderfully bonkers archive and some stunts that would simply not fly today - pun intended. Part 2 drops on the RTE Player immediately after. Bualadh Bos to involved. It's just an incredible story.

"We all partied" Or did we... Swindlers tonight at 9:35 on @rteone tells the story of Thomas Byrne and with him, the madness that was Celtic Tiger. At times it feels like yesterday but it was 20 years ago in 2006 that it truly hit its peak. Everything felt possible. Even I was voting for Bertie thinking it would never end! Narrator: It did end. Badly. "Episode two tells the story of Dublin solicitor Thomas Byrne, who stole €52 million from Irish banking institutions and took ownership of 12 of his victims’ houses in one of the biggest cases of white-collar crime in the history of the Irish State" As always, a dream to work with the team at @animo_tv_news , @jeanellendevlin , @debbiethornton , @debora.sheridan , @lauramfinnegan with @mosweeney1 at the helm.

VERY excited for the RTS Ireland Awards tonight! Tonight sees me trying to beat myself as Gogglebox goes up against @bashmawy Best Place to Be which I worked on with the fab people @animo_tv_news in the Factual Entertainment Category. Also in the same category are @jamesalankavanagh & @williamsamuelmurray so someone, somewhere is getting Tonya Hardinged on that stage. There is only room for so many @virginmediatelevision gays in the Gravity Bar. Best of Luck to everyone tonight 📺 🎥 🌈 ❤️ @first_element_postproduction @heyadaithi @animo_tv_news @tyroneproductionstv @virginmediatelevision @cococontentie @kiteentertainment

This Sunday night sees the final episode of Help Me Buy A Home Series 2! It was so lovely to work with my FAB friends at @animo_tv_news again for the Mothership that is @virginmediatelevision . @pj.kirby & @kevin2mey were just so wonderful & GAS to work with and at one point I did wonder how many Virgin Media Cork Gays we could pack into @first_element_postproduction . It is a cracking show and I can safely say I learned a LOT about house buying over the past two series... which is why I'm working with the wonderful @lizokanebuyersagent myself now to get a place! Its like being IN the TV show. In the best way! I half expect Animo to come around the corner with a crew. And we'll hopefully need to film the front of another new gaff for the opening titles of Gogglebox come Sept! SYNERGY LIZ LEMON!

Happy Halloween! 👹 👻 If you are looking for a wonderful, clever and spooky show for the whole family after Trick or Treating, check out The Unreal available on the @rteplayer . "In Ring the unquiet spirit of a murdered girl, Sadako, crawls from your telly and brings murder and mayhem. The Unreal tells the equivalent story without the violence and with an infusion of Irish folk horror. The villain of the piece is the púca, an ancient spirit who lives in an old VHS tape – until he escapes and starts to bother Kevin (Senan Jennings), a moochy teenager dragged against his will to a family holiday in a caravan park in the middle of nowhere... the púca is genuinely creepy, a kid’s mascot as reimagined by Clive Barker... in this enjoyable children’s caper" The Irish Times Well done to the team here in @first_element_postproduction .

In October 2022, I met with the lovely people of Roughcut TV about us working on their first drama. In October 2023, we were working on their first drama, Coma, which aired on Ch5 that January. In October 2024, I watched Coma on Gogglebox Ireland on Virgin Media TV. You can now watch both Coma and Gogglebox Ireland on the @virginmediatelevision player! As my hero Jack Donaghy might say, Synergy Lemon. Synergy! Also its an EXCELLENT thriller series and may help fill the Rivals shaped hole (pun intended) in your person. Well done to all involved @first_element_postproduction . I did the initial pitch and then turned up for the premiere a year later so I did my bit 📺 📽 🎞 Production Company: @roughcut_tv Director: Michael Samuels Edited by: Isobel Stephenson Producer: Sandra Maciver Line Producer: Linda Mester DOP: Mike Spragg Written by: Ben Edwards Executive Producers: Marianna Abbotts, Ash Atalla, Tim Sealey, Alex Smith.

🚨BRAND NEW TONIGHT🚨 The Case I Cant Forget: Chasing The General (Martin Cahill) RTE1 9:35pm I remember this case so vividly from when I was a teenager. I now rent not far from his old house and used to drink in his local back in my wilder days... This is such an EXCELLENT series and it was wonderful to collaborate with the lovely people in @rare_television once again for Season 3! 👏 to all the team in @first_element_postproduction for final picture and sound.

The ever lovely Baz is back with another cracking series of Best Place to Be tonight at 7pm on RTE1. Hide your jealously as he visits gorgeous destinations where things like government run services work really well and people seem to have a healthy work / life balance! I like to watch it with the SkyScanner & Glassdoor apps open on my phone!
