Ballykissangel was created in 1992, when Kieran Prendiville came up with an outline for a new comedy/drama series based around an Irish mountain community with storylines 'just this side of credulity'.

He was determined that the stories would not be those considered stereotypical of the Irish - 'no "Oirishness", no begorrahs, shillelaghs or Little People.' The show was partly based on Kieran's memories of family holidays in County Kerry when he was a child and the name was derived from the town of Ballykissanne, where he grew up.

Ballykissangel began transmission in February 1996 and it was a huge hit, attracting around 15 million viewers.
