01.01.70

 As a subeditor in the features department. I subsequently became film critic and arts editor. Around this time I was also writing a lot of comedy revue for radio and theatre. It was the kind of thing that could have translated well to television, but television was not a happy experience for me.

In those early years, there were some very talented people in RTÉ but – naming no names – also a lot of low-grade people and a lot of office politics. It seemed to me that it didn’t matter if your material was good or bad; what really mattered was how it was going to play with a producer and their career.

The technology was fairly rough and ready too. Once they started to run the cameras they were very reluctant to stop them. They tended to keep on going. There was one famous occasion when the set fell down.

After a while I became disillusioned with writing stuff for the station. But I reworked most of the material for the stage, with considerable success.
