PROGRAMME ONE

RADHARC: DEAR ANGELA

A portrait of Angela McNamara, Ireland’s most popular newspaper agony aunt in the 1960s and ‘70s. She addressed the emotional problems of her Sunday Press readers, receiving about 4,000 letters a year and answering them through the prism of her

Christian faith.

PROGRAMME TWO

THE WOMAN WHO MARRIED CLARK GABLE

Dublin in the 1930s. Mary (Brenda Fricker) and her English husband George (Bob Hoskins) are trapped in a stale and childless marriage. The tedium of their lives is relieved when Mary develops an on-screen infatuation with Clark Gable when they visit their local cinema.

Dir. Thaddeus O’Sullivan. 29 mins, Ireland, 1985, Digital, Black & White
