1	!!Tv Series
2	* ActorAllusion: See below for the RunningGag of Pavel being mistaken for Polish.
3	* ActorInspiredElement: Pavel was written to be Polish (as Ireland had a large influx of Polish immigrants in the early-2000s). But Krystof Hadek is Czech, so they changed Pavel to that instead.
4	* BreakthroughHit: For writer Lisa [=McGee=], who got launched onto writing for ''Series/BeingHumanUK'' and ''Series/TheWhiteQueen'' - eventually reaching new heights with ''Series/DerryGirls''.
5	* ChannelHop: Season 1 was on RTE Two, but the remaining seasons were on RTE One. As a result, the sex and violence was toned down.
6	* DawsonCasting: Just about. Emma is introduced having dropped out of school, implying she's sixteen or seventeen. Tara Lee was already eighteen.
7	* FakeAmerican: Michael Malarkey is Lebanese born and plays the [=JoJo=]'s American husband Anthony. He has one Irish-American parent and thus speaks with a not-too-convincing accent. It had improved by the time he starred in ''Series/TheVampireDiaries''.
8	* FakeBrit: A debatable example for Shane and Jojo. Both actors are from Ulster but Keith [=McErlean=] is from Donegal and Creator/CharleneMcKenna is from Monaghan - while their characters are from Belfast. Belfast is part of the UK, but Monaghan and Donegal are part of the Republic.
9	* FakeIrish:
10	** Scottish Creator/AmyManson plays the presumably Irish Zoe in Season 5.
11	** Richard is played by English actor Joe Doyle.
12	* NoExportForYou: Only Season 1 was released on DVD. But the series was eventually put on Netflix.
13	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
14	** The concept was originally written as a show called ''Kitchen'', which had a radically different tone and story. The pilot was shot but never picked up. Charlene [=McKenna=], who played Jojo in ''Raw'', had starred also. The idea was then retooled into ''Raw''.
