Sunday nights are about to get a lot funnier for telly-watchers with the return of Irish Pictorial Weekly to RTÉ One. The six-part satirical sketch show will air every Sunday night at 9.30pm from this Sunday, March 22.
Last year's second season included sketches and media manipulation featuring caricatures of Angela Merkel, Enda Kenny, Michael Noonan, Anne Doyle, Gerry Adams, civil servant committees, court reporters and RTÉ presenters.
There’ll be more of the same, as well as an array of new characters including cavemen, Phil Hogan, and people who press buttons.
Writers and performers on the show include Barry Murphy, John Colleary, Tara Flynn, Colum McDonnell, Michael O'Sullivan, Eleanor Tiernan, Paul Howard, Paul Woodful and Jay Stanbridge.
Here's a compilation from last year's run:
