Perforated Ulster, Give My Head Peace, and The Long and the Short of it, all produced by the Hole in the Wall gang are being axed by the BBC. The Blame Game has also been culled. The BBC is making major cuts across the corporation as budget cuts take hold. BBC bosses say they have to make difficult decisions – but the cuts mean there will be no more local comedy on our screens. Ciarán Dunbar is joined by Tim McGarry and Damon Quinn and Michael McDowell from the Hole in the Wall Gang. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
