Tonight at 9.30pm RTÉ Two screens In Bed with the Irish - the latest in the Reality Bites documentary strand that explores life in modern Ireland.
This new documentary offers a sneaky peek into Irish people’s hearts, minds and under their bed covers, through the honest opinions of a range of Irish couples.
For example, Eamonn and Anne spent the early years of their married life in the UK and now live in Galway.
Every time they moved house, Anne became pregnant and so Eamonn says: “I blame the auctioneer”. They regularly tussle over the duvet, which is also shared with two dogs.
Then there’s Marie Claire and Stephen from Tipperary, who met at work. He was ‘the handsome lad who sat beside the fax machine’ and she found lots of reasons to use the fax.
In Bed with the Irish lets these and other couples discuss their first impressions of each other, their bedtime habits and rituals, sexual attitudes, the impact of religion in the bedroom and how they see their future - and all with unflinching honesty.
