The series producer was Charlie Scott, and Brian Cleeve was the presenter and scriptwriter. Each half-hour edition focused on a specific subject, such as a commercial or state enterprise, an aspect of Irish culture, or some notable feature of the country's landscape. In December 1964, Brian Cleeve received a Jacob’s Television Award for his contribution to the programme. However, in January 1966, it was announced that Cleeve was being dropped as the series' narrator because his voice was no longer felt to be suitable. Later that year, he left the programme completely to join the new '' 7 Days '' team. Following Cleeve's departure, ''Discovery'' continued for another season using a number of alternative presenters, such as Paddy Gallagher, John Skehan, Michael Viney, and Terry Wogan . In 2002, RTÉ began screening digitially-remastered versions of several of the original programmes. The topics covered included skydiving, mountaineering in the Wicklow mountains and lighthouses off the Cork coast. |
