The hilarious British TVseries, which starred comedian Ardal O’Hablon and the late Dermot Morgan, will start airing on WLIW-21, on Friday, July 6, at 9:30 p.m. Get the VCRs ready.

Speaking of WLIW-21, they’ve got a treat in store for Ballykissangel fans (aside from the fact that the increasingly dull show is in its final season). In September, the channel will air a drama/mystery series starring BallyK’s former supercouple, Dervla Kirwan and Stephen Tompkinson. In "Shades" the two actors play a mismatched couple of spirits (yes, spirits) who try to right the wrongs of the life they left behind. We’ll have more details for you in the future.
