All about Mattie

Filmed in Co. Tipperary & Co. Limerick, Sgt MATTIE was written by Pat Shortt, Mike Finn & David Cummings (The Fast Show, Harry Enfield & Chums). It is produced by Pat Shortt & Brian Kelly.




The Crystal Ball

Award winning comedian and actor Pat Shortt appeared to great acclaim in Inside The Crystal Ball, which aired over the Christmas season 2009. This 'mockumentary' followed the fortunes of community radio presenter Christy Ball, and his long-suffering wife, Maura.

Filmed in Limerick and Tipperary in November and December 2009, the show is a behind-the-scenes look at Newtown Community Radio featuring the offbeat musings and philosophies of its founder and chief presenter. Starring Pat Shortt as Christy Ball and Sue Collins as his wife and producer, Inside The Crystal Ball also aired the sometimes unorthodox views of Christy's legion of phone-in fans as they respond to radio items such as 'The Ball Hop', 'The Crystal Ball' and 'Breaking Ball'.

Outside the studio, the programme highlighted the many campaigns that Christy and Maura instigate to improve their community and show a more reflective Christy fishing or working on his beloved poetry. Reminiscent of Pat Shortt's hilarious 'mockumentary' Maurice Hickey Rockin' de Vote, Behind The Crystal Ball is produced by Gable End Media and written by Killinaskully's writing team of Pat Shortt and Mike Finn.
