Later the Monday slot which had been 'The Frontline' was again split from Prime Time, Claire Byrne left to present the newly branded 'Claire Byrne Live' programme in the slot.

    Format

    Ireland's current affairs and major societal issues are dealt with, often with politicians, journalists, commentators and industry representatives giving their views live in the studio or via satellite link-up from RTÉ's regional studios and abroad. Two to three stories tend to be covered, with a pre-recorded piece from a reporter followed by a studio discussion. Sometimes the full programme will be devoted to one topic, and may consist entirely of an in-depth documentary piece or investigation from a single reporter. Extended or additional editions are broadcast on occasions such as a general elections or major international events, such as the Paris Attacks. Typically there is no audience attendance, although during these special editions audience involvement and attendance may be included.

    Time Pilot '84

    Time Pilot '84: Further Into Unknown World is an eight-way scrolling shoot 'em up, released in 1984 by Konami. It is the sequel to Time Pilot. The player pilots a craft over many time periods. Unlike the original which told the year of each level, the new time periods are designated by new enemies and different colors.

    There are a large number of enemy types in the game. They each have varying movement patterns, difficulty, and point values. Destroying enough standard enemies brings out a boss enemy that must be dispatched before advancing to the next level.

    There are two weapons to use on the game's many enemies. The standard shot can destroy only a couple of enemy types; missiles are required for the harder, later enemies.

    Time Pilot (夕イム・パイ口ツ卜) is a multi-directional scrolling shooter and free-roaming aerial combat arcade game designed by Yoshiki Okamoto, released by Konami in 1982, and distributed in the United States by Centuri. Debuting in the golden age of video arcade games, it is a time travel themed game that allowed the player's plane to freely move across open air space that can scroll indefinitely in all directions. The Killer List of Videogames included Time Pilot in its list of top 100 arcade games of all time.

    A sequel, 1984, Time Pilot '84, was released a few years after the original. It has a top down view instead of a side view and takes place over a science fiction-themed landscape.

    Overview

    The player assumes the role of a pilot of a futuristic fighter jet, trying to rescue fellow pilots trapped in different time eras. The player must fight off hordes of enemy craft and defeat the mother ship (or "boss") present in every level. The background moves in the opposite direction to the player's plane, rather than the other way around; the player's plane always remains in the center.

    PLAYLIST TIME:

    Refugee

    by: Prime Time

    Take a good look inside of me...
    Season of night took hold of me...
    Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide away
    The damage is done, the chaos' dissolving me
    What am I to do
    Where am I to go
    How can I be strong and find the strength to carry on
    Misery comes, but doesn't go, don't want to reach
    tomorrow
    Don't want to be a refugee of love
    Found a new way to the future...
    Created a past to remember...
    No ties attached, no one to hold you down
    Am I the stone that made you dislike the crown
    How am I to say, what I have to lose
    When your mind's made up and it's your
    happiness you chose
    Misery comes, but doesn't go, don't want to reach
    tomorrow
    Don't want to be a refugee of love
    [Solo: Henrik]
    Take a good look inside of me...
    Hatred and pain controlling me...
    Holding the cards fearless in front of me
    The sun on your face, the coldness it's freezing me
    What am I to do
    Where am I to go
    How can I be strong and find the strength to carry on
    Misery comes, but doesn't go, don't want to reach
    tomorrow
