If you were a child of 80s Ireland, Bosco was almost certainly a big part of your childhood. Bosco has now been off the air for 20 years, and there hasn’t been a new episode in 30. Yet, Bosco remains as much a part of our Irish identity as the shamrock or stew. In her first ever interview, Gearóid talks to Paula Lambert who has been the hand and voice behind Bosco since the early 80s.
They chat about making the series, the hallowed “inside Bosco’s box” scenes, merchandise and that record. Gearóid finds out how much of a fan he was by talking to someone who knows best and Bosco even makes an unscheduled appearance.
This is a schmalzy nostalgia-fest. Enjoy with wine.
