Waterford teen swaps city life for country living on popular RTÉ series
Raised by the Village airs this Sunday
On the final episode of series three of RTÉ's Raised by the Village, families from Carlow and Roscommon are set to mentor Waterford teen Bobby and Drimnagh teen Clayton.
15-year-old Bobby from Waterford City has been refusing to get up for school, staying up all night on his phone and tearing up the greens around his local estate on his scrambler bike.
Bobby also dreams of a life of luxury but shows no inclination towards working for that dream. But can a new tech free life of early mornings and hard graft at The Bunbury Family Farm in the Carlow village of Rathvilly reset Bobby’s vision for his own future?
Meanwhile, in the south Dublin suburb of Drimnagh, 15-year-old Clayton is addicted to the non-stop scrolling drama of TikTok and barely leaves his bedroom. He’s also having huge issues with authority and – he hates the countryside.
Transplanted to Wes Pollington and Tuesday Whitfield’s Willowbrook Glamping Site outside the village of Lisacul, Co. Roscommon, Clayton struggles to live without his phone…but living under the rule of his new village mentors proves an even more mammoth challenge!
Watch Raised by the Village this Sunday at 6:30pm on RTÉ One.
