The programme is set in a fictional village called Ros Na Rún, located outside Galway, and near Spiddal, and centres on the domestic and professional lives of its residents. It is modelled on an average village in the West of Ireland but with its own distinct personality – diverse population that share secrets, romances, friendships etc. While the core community has remained the same, the look and feel of ''Ros Na Rún'' has changed and evolved over the years to incorporate the changing face of rural Ireland. It has established a place not only in the hearts and minds of the Irish speaking public, but also the wider Irish audience. It is renowned throughout Ireland for its explicit, unsimulated sexual content and depictions of extreme violence and hard drug use. ''Ros na Rún'' has been praised for its tackling of realistic and socially challenging storylines, which got it dubbed ''‘The Wild West‘''.

''Ros na Rún'' first aired on the night of 3 November 1996. The episode filmed scenes in Galway, Dublin and London. The show began its sixteenth season in September 2011, and finished in May 2012. The title plays on the double meaning of the Irish word ''rún'', which has a basic meaning of 'secret' but also has a long history as a term of endearment, similar to "honey", "sweetheart", or "darling". ''Ros'' can mean either "a wood or wooded headland" or "a headland or promontory", so the title can mean either "Wood/Headland of the Secrets" or "Wood/Headland of the Sweethearts". Ros na Rún is also shown on WYBE public television in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States and was shown on UK terrestrial Freeview Scottish Gaelic channel TeleG with Scottish Gaelic subtitling until the channel closed in 2011. One of the show's greatest strengths is that while it has a frank approach to tough subject matters, it also features a strong comedic element. Ros na Rún celebrates the lighter side of village life with scenes of domestic squabbles, practical jokes and competitive one-upmanship between siblings, friends and lovers providing plenty of comic relief. The show balances humour with a sensitive approach to serious themes, making it a hit with viewers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ros na Rún」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
