RTÉ Aired A Glenroe Special and Twitter Got Very Nostalgic

Last night RTÉ 1 aired a documentary about the iconic rural soap opera Glenroe, that ran from 1983 to 2001 on the national broadcaster. For many, the programme was a huge part of their childhood from being allowed stay up late enough on a Sunday to watch it, to the theme tune reminding you of all the homework you had yet to do. Twitter jumped on the nostalgia train in a huge way last night, and it was pretty hilarious.

Feeling a bit old with the #Glenroe programme. The worst bit is worrying if I've my homework done for school in the morning. — Sinead Ryan (@sinead_ryan) December 27, 2015

For anyone like me, who never had their homework done by 8.30pm on Sunday, the Glenroe music still sends a shiver up the spine. #Glenroe

I was skeptical. But that #Glenroe programme was singularly the BEST piece of Christmas programming...and I'm including you in that #Downton — Anne Marie O'Connor (@Kitsgirl1) December 27, 2015
