Welcome to Ballykissangel -
Behind the Scenes

Assumpta
Just last month BBC Northern Ireland gave me the opportunity to look at the nuts and bolts of Ballykissangel. At 8.30am on a crisp September morning I was raring to go. The series is mostly shot in Avoca, Co.Wicklow (for exteriors) and Ardmore Studios, just outside Dublin (for the interiors). I set off with my camera, Digital Audio Tape, Digital Video Camera and an autograph book ... phew! for an adventure around the Ballykissangel set at Ardmore Studios.

Fitzgerald's Bar - Come in for the craic. It's everything you'd expect and more. I got to see it all - from the loos to the kitchen and a pint of the black stuff.

Clapper board
Lights, camera, action! Studio B was a hive of activity. Get a glimpse inside the studio, a flavour of the atmosphere and a look at some of the technical equipment.

Out and about at Ardmore Studios. Have a sneaky look around the back yard. It's all there from a bath to the riggers' van.
