Soupy Norman is an Irish television programme broadcast by RTÉ. It is aired usually on Thursday nights at 23:05 on the RTÉ Two channel, in ten-minute segments. The show is a comedic re-dubbing of the Polish soap opera Pierwsza miłość (First Love), which has been running on Polsat television since 2004.



The series is written and edited by Barry Murphy and Mark Doherty, with additional voices provided by Tara Flynn and Mario Rosenstock. Where the original soap opera dealt with a girl leaving her family behind to go to college, the re-dubbed version of the programme explores the culture shock of a dysfunctional Cork family in Dublin.



The concept had an airing on Armando Iannucci’s show Time Trumpet on BBC 2.
