Upwardly Mobile was an Irish television sitcom that was made and broadcast by RTÉ. Three series, including three Christmas specials, were originally broadcast on RTÉ One between 8 September 1995 and 26 December 1997.
The programme starred Joe Savino and Catherine Byrne as northside couple Eddie and Molly Keogh, who win the Lotto and move to the exclusive Belvedere Downs estate on the southside of Dublin. Backed by a strong supporting cast, the series chronicles their highs and lows in life, in particular the contrast with their upper-class neighbours.{{cite news|url=http://www.independent.ie/unsorted/features/the-worst-irish-tv-shows-ever-75727.html|title=The worst Irish TV shows EVER!|date=2006-10-28|access-date=2008-11-16|newspaper=Irish Independent}}{{cite news|url=http://www.independent.ie/national-news/rte-fights-back-in-christmas-cracker-459328.html|title=RTE fights back in Christmas cracker|date=1997-12-11|access-date=2008-12-20|newspaper=Irish Independent}}
