The Disappeared


We watched and soaked up the brilliance of The Disappeared on RTE 1 last Monday night. And upon its conclusion as we sat there silently within the sacred space that exists when something exceptional reaches its end we couldn’t help but wonder why the fuck they can't do this more often? Programmes which engross, illuminate and provoke like this. The talent and the wherewithal clearly exists, evidently it comes down to finding space in the schedule alongside Vogue Williams meeting the cast of Home and Away and Don’t Tell the Bride. Come to think of it, it’s a wonder it wasn’t on TG4 where they could be guaranteed nobody would be watching.
