The national broadcaster is asking you to vote on five mini-series which features programmes about butchers, zombies and a free-running, free-spirit electronic producer called XL.

Watch the competing web series.

The now infamous RTE News clip of an unfortunate man falling on the ice in Dublin last week proves we still love a bit of slapstick. Within 3 days, the video had racked up 215,000 views.

The Best Bloopers ever
Fishing show presenter Bill Dance must hold the world record for the most number of hilarious TV bloopers to happen to one man. Here are over a dozen of then in one compilation.


The 10 most ridiculous Black Metal videos
These videos do nothing to disprove that black metallers are one sword short of participating in live action medieval role-playing games. Nice face paint.

How Greenscreen is used
This showreel for Stargate studios shows how green screen techniques are used, even in the most banal looking street scenes.

RTE Player
RTE’s version of the BBC iPlayer debuted last week and offers an impressive limited catchup service of most RTE-aired programs and an intuitive interface.

The RTE player makes more than 200 hours of RTE programming available including news, sport, current affairs, movies and entertainment programmes. It’s got a slick Flash interface and with very low waiting times while seeking within programmes. Well Done RTE.
