Our Times

Our Times was an Irish youth TV programme, broadcast on Ireland's TV channel, RTE, in the late 70's. The series had several presenters including Nicholas Couchman, Laura Courage, Sharon Bacon and Paula Lambert. 
There is not much information on the programme, but archive footage of early U2's performance from the late 70's is accredited to the Our Times programme on YouTube, although a commentator mentioned that U2's performance came from another Irish programme called the Fall in 1976, which Our Times was using as archive footage in 1978.
