    good show.. they are even saying RTE cant make comedy ( at least they speak the truth)

    its kind of funny that rte gave them alot of footage to show in it and then they say that..

    Jesus. It actually seems pretty competent.


    Now that i's over, I can honestly say that is one of the best original programs I've ever seen on TV3. They got all the big players, were frank and tackled all the major topics well. Hats off to them.

    It was pretty good, except why did they keep asking Adele King's opinion? Can't stand that woman...

    I was pleasantly surprised with this show, though I think they missed a few people. Tommy Tiernen the king of Irish comedy? :(

    TG4 should do a programme and say how TV3 are **** at making all programmes with one or two exceptions.

    I was puzzled be a comment made by one of the female interviewees wearing a green top who said "We are doing very well indeed with our comedy output seeing as the UK has 40 Million TV licence holders, while we only have 4 Million TV licence holders, " .......... :confused:

    Was thinking that myself last night :(

    Didn't know that story about Dermot Morgan passing the day after filming with T Tiernan. Actually maybe I did know but didn't remember..

    Decent production anyways.

    basicly it means that the budget for RTE is 10 times smaller than the BBC...

    RTE has about 750 million to play with a year where the BBC has a huge amount of cash to play with...

    (im afraid i dont have the fuguires)

    BTW top gear costs over 2 million a esp.. a top 1 hour show on rte would have a budget of 100,000 euro..

    you get what you pay for at the end of the day..

    I went to the Tv3 website in the hope I'd be able to watch some of this.

    Do they have any clips archived on their website? Do they buggery. It isn't even mentioned on the website.

    There are several enormous plugs for their Dating site, mind you, and the video section features all the Krypton Factor videos that I could ever want to watch*

    (*I actually dont want to watch any)

    Spiffing. The only programme I can ever remember people complimenting Tv3 on producing, and they're pretending that it never happened.

    Good work tv3.
