Hall's Pictorial Weekly in Moylough, Co. Galway, Ireland 1978

The people and village of Moylough in Galway star in this opening sequence for 'Hall's Pictorial Weekly'. The rural village of Moylough in County Galway is visited by the ‘Hall’s Pictorial Weekly’ film crew in March 1978. Their arrival is greeted warmly by numerous villagers including many children cycling bicycles. Two small boys pedal toy tractors while full size tractors are driven about the village at pace. A man pushes his bicycle along the street behind a herd of cattle. Elsewhere some sheep and lambs remain suitably unimpressed at the prospect of their upcoming television debut. More welcoming is a woman out walking her dog. Cheevers Bar and Connolly’s are premises of note in the village. The Maxol petrol pumps are operated by the staff of the local VG grocery store with a varying degree of success. 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. As it was not advertised as part of the programme billings in the RTÉ Guide or newspapers, people watched in the hope it was the turn of their town or village to have its moment of fame. This episode of ‘Hall’s Pictorial Weekly’ was broadcast on 12 April 1978.
