Shooting is underway on the set of the second series of the Ifta nominated comedy series, 'The Savage Eye'. Shooting in and around Dublin and Wicklow for the next five weeks and directed by Kieron J. Walsh (Raw), the series will see the return of Dave McSavage (Dental Breakdown) alongside his co-writer John Colleary (Touching People) and his fellow impressionists Pat McDonnell (Father Ted) and Dermot McMurrow (Emily's Song). Each week 'The Savage Eye' explores one subject in its entirety using vox pops from members of the public to inspire the comedy sketches and unflinching rants from numerous fictional characters. Produced by Katie Holly (One Hundred Mornings), the show's director of photography is Patrick Jordan (Croke Park Lives).

Irish comedian David McSavage's new project, 'The Savage Eye', begins a six-part run on Monday, November 23rd. The series aims to be a satirical and surreal examination of subjects close to the hearts of the Irish people such as the arts, property, sex and religion. The first episode will ask the question 'Why are the Irish so influential in the world of Arts?' 'The Savage Eye' takes the form of a fake anthropological documentary and features sketches performed by well known Irish actors and comedians, including David McSavage, Declan Rooney, Pat McDonnell, Eleanor Tiernan, Gerard McSorley, Liam Hourican, John Colleary and Dermot McMurrow.
