Yes ladies and gentlemen. It's 1973 in the republic of Ireland.

I've just seen a poster for an open casting for a 6-part mock u soap series on RTE this autumn. Check out the cast of characters.

Waka productions are looking to cast the following male roles:

1. A hunky prototype hot latino lover type: spanish accent Aged 20-40
2. A heavy set Polish body builder type. Easter European accent aged 20-40
3. A slick, Italina gigolo type. Italian accent Aged 20-40
4. A tall, Handosme West Arfican. Nigerian Accent Aged 20-40
5. A buff Aussie Surfer type. Australian accent aged 20-40
6. A well groomed, Faships conscious Oriental teype. chinese Accent 20-40
7. A high camp and "well fed" (make that "very well fed") south dublin Himbo aged 16-22

This could be the worst television programme made in over 30 years.
