The 9 Top 'The Den' Moments Over The Years

In light of the the news that RTÉ have decided to discontinue making programming for young people, we've decided to round up the top moments from 'The Den'.

'The Den' was an institution in itself, and many Saturday mornings were spent watching the classic show with characters such as Zig and Zag, Dustin, and presenter Ray D'Arcy. All Irish children have fond memories of the show, so we've compiled the funniest and most shocking moments from throughout the show's history for your enjoyment.

1. This hilarious game show moment

This video has gone viral multiple times and is the definition of cringey, poor Kevin.

2. When they kitted out in Irish gear

This was to celebrate the 2002 world cup final and highlights how Irish children's programming could do whatever they wanted.
