Fade Street and Vogue: Going It Alone
Remember Fade Street? Cast your minds back to the year 2010 when MySpace ruled the internet, the ‘Dublin Eye’ was slowly revolving at the Docklands, the Rubberbandits had a horse outside and a group of 20-somethings could afford to rent a 3-bed apartment in Dublin city centre.
Watch Vogue Williams as she chats about heading to Oxegen before skipping on over to her brand new, and very grown up, three-part series where she plunges her into the world of solo mums through sperm donation, anxiety and the debilitating effects of its spectrum of disorders, and the modern phenomena of online ‘sugar dating’. Watch it now on RTÉ Player.

Watch the first episode now on RTÉ Player.
What Not to Miss?
The dream is well and truly over for Eddie Durkan as he finds himself on the Boulevard of Broken Dreams after losing his car and his woman in one night but sure, it’s nothing a packet of Banshee Bones and a trip to the ‘dishco capital of the world’ can’t fix. Not Enniscrone… IBIZA!
