0 ~ The Hidden Agenda (aka the pilot)

19 August 2010   :  

this is the pilot of Republic Of Doyle that was not quite what was picked up for series. I was just browsing my favourite sites looking for another show and there it was, a tvrip of the pilot. CBC had broadcast the previously unaired 22 minute pilot between the end of season 1 and the release of the season on dvd. It is set in October 2008. The copyright on the episode is 2010. How odd. But what a treat!
