Bachelors Walk was a dramedy based around three single men living in a house in Dublin’s Bachelors Walk. The drama was shot in and around Dublin. The programme was first broadcast on RTE on 1 October 2001. The drama revolves around Barry (Keith McErlean) looking for a get-rich-quick scheme, Raymond (Don Wycherley) the film critic and Michael (Simon Delaney) the would-be barrister. After a run of three series and an absence from our screens for three years, "Bachelors Walk" returned for a one-off Christmas special which aired on St Stephens Day 2006 on RTÉ Two.
Though the title refers to Bachelor's Walk, the real-life Dublin street, where the series is set, the apostrophe is omitted to add a different meaning to the words. This is in homage to James Joyce's novel Finnegans Wake, which does the same.
