Why is Irish soap Fair City not shown on TV in the UK now? I vaguely remember I thought it was on BBC1/2 15 or so years ago or was that just in N Ireland? Another Irish soap called Red Rock was on the BBC over the summer. I know a lot of people say its fairly crap but I thought some UK channel would have it. I was over visiting relations in Ireland over the Christmas and I was watching it with them. It wasnt that bad and I began to watch it everynight it was on. The acting isnt great but the storylines are like over here.

I have often wondered why some channel that we in the U.K doesn't give us a chance to view Fair City. I know it has been on in the Irish Republic many many years.

It wouldn't survive, FC's fanbase is niche

It was on Tara TV which was an RTE channel aimed at the UK and other countries and had the 'best of' programmes from Eire. The channel failed and was closed down, possibly due to the nightly Daniel O'Donnel programme!
