‘Harbour Nights’ was an RTE documentary series set in 2000 in the seaside tourist village of Courtown, Co. Wexford. It could very feasibly be released today as a mockumentary and it really has everything on the bingo card – mad priests, madder hoteliers, travellers, wholesome Auld ones, lovely girls, culchie guards and…political incorrectness.

Ep1 was a slow build, the drama hit in Ep2 and I’m excited for Ep3. This needs more attention
I've accidentally found the best worst Irish documentary of the last 30 years

I saw that on Youtube the other day. The poor auld lad guard having to corral the hoardes of drunken Dublin young fellas on his own is crazy stuff. The estate agent is some piece of work too!

I raise you this.
It’s fucking brilliant!
My mam is on one of the episodes
I love the editorial choice of making the first proper scene a toilet inspection
Hiding the TV’s before the travelers show up
“Should I tell him I’m a protestant”
😂 I remember watching this when it aired with my parents as the wider family always did a once a year trip to courtown.
It definitely got unhinged at some points 😂
Im from the area never saw this haha
