RTE bosses have not ruled out creating a TV series on disgraced Taoiseach Bertie Ahern following the massive success of Charlie.
The three part drama brought in massive ratings for the station and has made bosses look at other political figures for future series.
The gripping three part series has proven to be one of RTE’s most successful projects after ratings winner Love/Hate.

And while RTE bosses have yet to decide on whether a series based on Bertie will be commissioned, they are not ruling anything out.

“It’s far too early to talk about any dramas being commissioned because it’s a lengthy process.”
