IT MAY HAVE raised the ire of animal rights groups, but last night’s episode of Love/Hate – the first in its fourth season – will be remembered for more than the tragic gunning down of a harmless cat.
He didn’t survive to tune in for episode two. RIP, cat.
The show started its new season with a bang, with almost a million people (971,000) watching the first episode, making it the most-watched episode of Love/Hate ever.
In total, 1.3 million people tuned in at some point during the transmission, said RTÉ, compared to 630,700 viewers tuning in last year.
Its audience share has jumped from 35 per cent during the Season 3 opening episode to 53 per cent last night.
RTÉ’s Head of Drama, Jane Gogan, said that they were “delighted with last night’s viewing figures”.
Why did she think that people tuned in in their droves?
Love/Hate’s special appeal comes from the creativity and ingenuity of the many people involved in making the series so it is particularly pleasing to see the work strike a chord with so many. I hope that the audience enjoy the remaining episodes of series 4.
What with the first episode alone featuring not just a murdered cat, but a tiger kidnapping, frightening masks and mysterious fizzy orange, we predict that audience figures won’t be seeing a sharp drop any time soon.

I’ve also heard that Cadbury’s have hacked off one-fifth of Freddo the Frog .
And our giving redundancies to their staff as they are moving operations to a cheaper country
everybody is leaving. I am hoping to go myself and I am in the higher tax bracket. I stayed because i felt it served my country to pay tax and support others. I am now over it. It doesn’t serve me anymore. I am in debt and I would be better off elsewhere.
Dear Mr. Journalist. It’s “how quickly”, not “how quick”. When describing a verb, you use an adverb, not an adjective. I know that the internet likes to bugger with adverbs, particularly if it pertains to doing anything “direct”, but you, as indebted as you are to the English language for your living should be able to show that language just a modicum of respect.
I wish wikileaks would stop invading other people’s privacy. It worries me to think what would happen if they started targeting business and political figures over here, not that there’s anything to hide of course.
Fake account
Fake account but some of the view expressed aren’t far off the YFG mentality
I suppose Mr and Ms Majority really thought you looked like a silent when you were born?
Silent majority who are you?
Looks like Kevin and yfg are best buddies .. Interesting
Suzie are you and davedunne the same person? You both seem a bit obsessed with me.
Is that the best you could come up with ?
I differ in policy to yfg on most issue. It’s a careerists clubs for most. Boosts the cv for various employers. I dislike yfg and would never vote FG after what they’ve done.
have your say
