Fraochy Bay has rapidly evolved into a much sought after source
for conspiracy theorists - There's a guy in Shawbost who reads all sorts into the narratives for example.
The show has accurately predicted* the arrival of aliens, the eruption of a volcano in the
west of Scotland, the arrival of pirates in Hebridean waters, the escape of an aggressive
chimpanzee from Oban zoo (which doesn't even exist yet!) and the discovery of oil just off the coast
of Fraochy Bay. On top of that there's the comet that almost destroyed Fraochy Bay and it's just a matter of time before something like that does happen.
*All of these predictions have yet to come to pass, but they will soon and then you'll see just how accurate they are.
Nobody has a proper grasp on current affairs unless they get all their information from Fraochy Bay. From banking criseses to alien invasion, Fraochy Bay has it all.
Fraochy Bay asks the difficult questions no-one else has the perception to even ask in the first place. Questions like "why?" and "what???", stuff like that. Oh yes.
Fraochy Bay presents you with the difficult issues we all face and gives you the answers as to how best not to deal with them.

Back in the dark ages (2009), deep from within the mirky basement of gaelic obscurity emerged the phemonemo phememono phephomenmon pehnopheno that is Fraochy Bay. 20 episodes of the finest punnery concentrated into three (or more, despite the best efforts of the producer) glorious minutes of animated fun launched Neillydubh and MojaTV onto the worldwide stage. Fraochy Bay is universally recognised as the most popular animated cartoon in the entire world of any cartoon that's written and performed in gaelic on BBC Alba and produced in Stornoway.
Season 1 was followed rapidly by season 2. The need to know what happened next led to the addition of 10 further episodes that a growing number of fans, around 20, were clamouring for (or may have clamoured for, perhaps).
As if 30 epoch making episodes were not enough, the decision was made to add a further 10 episodes. Season 3 contains some of the finest animation and jokes you will see literally anywhere in Fraochy Bay.
40 episodes clearly didn't answer all of life's questions, so a further 10 were added in season 4. Bursts of inspiration gave rise to such wonderful episodes as "Where Eagles Daren't" and "The Day The Earth Sat Still" - episodes which are still talked about to this very day by people who talk about Fraochy Bay.
And sadly, the era of Fraochy Bay was brought to an end by the final 10 episodes added in Season 5. Culminating in one of the finest episodes, worthy of an Oscar or something, with one of Fraochy Bay's greatest creations - the survival expert Badger Ovens - who creates his own volcano which leads to one of the greatest puns of our time***. Daniel Craig (James Bond 007) was asked to star in the final episode just to make it that little bit extra special but due to his many commitments didn't send a reply to our email so we had to use Frogey Beag instead - he did a grand job though.****
***We will qualify this by saying it was probably the greatest pun of all time, ever.
