The people and the town of Kilcock are the stars of this opening sequence for Hall's Pictorial Weekly.
Young and old are out and about in the County Kildare town of Kilcock on the Royal Canal.
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 of ‘Hall’s Pictorial Weekly’. As it was not advertised as part of the programme billings in the RTÉ Guide or newspapers, people watched in the hope their town or village would have its moment of fame.
This episode of 'Hall's Pictorial Weekly' was broadcast on 21 February 1974.
