TV3 Psychic Readings Live***The Aftermath Thread****

Are they?

JamesReeves

they've done a quiz show, they've done a "Psychics" show... what next? Maybe an interactive jukebox style thing where people text premium rates to play a song and get their message on the television?

spookwoman

Please don't give them idea's

Or they could turn the channel into babestation every midnight until 3am. Same target audience - young ones and dirty auld farmers.

Joe Duffy would have a field day.

They did that with Music Cubed ten years ago.

Things were very, very different back then...

Or...The 'babes' could run a marriage bureau/counselling service (They would be about as credible as the psychics)
and they could pair off the lonely farmers, with all the Marys who used to ring in......

Ah, Music Cubed. I stayed up late most nights watching that. It was the same music night after night but it was enjoyable nonetheless.

I wouldn't expect anything this year, so now they'll do something to prove me wrong.
By next year though they may anticipate having a new generation of 'boardsies' who think it's a great idea.
Surprise...

With the amount of closed accounts popping up they may very well be right...

TBH, I wouldn't have a problem with that. I mean, you'd be a complete idiot to text in, but as long as they show your message and play the song you wnat, then there's no real deception there, unlike PRL or PTV.

JamesReeves

Or here's a thought they could show quality TV programming.... *insert sarcastic comment HERE*

.BrianJM

*insert sarcastic comment HERE* = Could give Mr Browne an extra couple of hours, giving him more time to get people to answer the way he wants them to. :rolleyes:

Disclaimer: there are, however, occasional times when I do like the show.

Maybe you'll get a good deal. Perhaps the producers finally got a conscience....I mean
since those shows ended, you've been under that bridge, with a little stall,desperately trying to sell red shoes to anyone who still remembers Carole...The least they could do is set you up in a little pad in Budapest:cool:

How could I forget Carole, she was my best customer. She wanted me to sell fish fingers as well but told her it wouldn't work in the Paris heat.

2HatJohn stopped by a few times to get some red shoes for Mary McLaughlin..his wife of 60 years..yes his wife of 60 years..yes his wife of...

He said he had been to Temple Bar, Limerick, Waterford, Donegal, Cork, Galway and Tipperary, and my red shoes were far superior to any of the ones he had seen. He said he wanted to start Crying with me, but I told him not to start, that just because he was off the Irish telly, and not a Star anymore, he should continue with writing his wonderful songs, with those amazing/tasty lyrics he would be a star again.

2Hat is still in touch with Starella. She is trying to track down Tom Kelly who gave her a spin on his pink tractor. She said Tom was a very fair and honest man. Her red lace headress and fan and garter, got caught in the tractor tyres when he was helping her off, and she wants Tom to give them back to her.

If Tom is out there..get in touch as she gave me her cell number.

Over in the UK

Ofcom has today imposed a financial penalty of £12,500 on Majestic TV Limited in respect of its service Psychic Today.

http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/binaries/enforcement/content-sanctions-adjudications/majestic-tv.pdf?utm_source=updates&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=majestic-sanction

One of the complaints

After watching [FONT=Arial,Arial][FONT=Arial,Arial]Psychic Today [/FONT][/FONT]psychic reading advertising content on Big Deal on 6 May 2012 in the late evening, a viewer complained to Ofcom that it contained claims of accuracy.

On viewing the relevant material, Ofcom noted that a photo of a psychic was shown on screen. Her name ("Mollie") was printed beside the photo together with the following text:

[FONT=Arial,Arial][FONT=Arial,Arial]"I have been giving readings from a young age and I have always known my gift was there. I am very accurate and precise in giving guidance for positive outcome in present situations." [/FONT][/FONT]

While this advertisement was broadcast on screen, viewers heard the voice of "Mollie" off screen (she was not in the studio) giving a psychic reading to a viewer who had sent in a text asking for a reading.

At the bottom of the screen the PRS number for viewers to contact was shown throughout.

Ofcom considered this matter raised issues warranting investigation under Rules 15.5.2 and 15.5.3 of the BCAP Code.

MESSAGE FOR TOM KELLY: STOLEN FROM THE FARM

"Hello Mr Kelly" ...keep a steady mind and open heart. Starella loves you just remember that. "you are a sweet and wonderful person" "so honest, so full of love and trust, a precious darling, your heart is so pure, we will all be pulling for you"

and through the grapevine I hear she want's you to give her another spin on that tractor, again soon. If you need it pulled we will all all come out and pull it for you.

DISCLAIMER RE Brian T's post earlier..the Mollie mentioned has no connection with me

And Psychic Today has been going, in one form or another, since 2004... :eek:

http://www.psychictoday.com/welcome.jsp

Admittedly, it's not quite as dodgy as Psychic Readings Live - its owners aren't a bunch of Hungarian gangsters, but the London-based Cellcast Group, who are also responsible for Babestation (or, if you prefer, the ladies on 3e in the early hours of the morning).

http://www.cellcast.tv/interactive-tv.aspx

Majestic TV, in case anyone's confused, merely holds the license to broadcast the service - a bit like ITV holding the rights to broadcast the FA Cup, or indeed TV3 holding the rights to broadcast Psychic Readings Live.

Anyway, it's not at all surprising to learn that Wayne has made several appearances on Psychic Today - a glance at his YouTube channel reveals several such videos, although with each one it looks like he just put his camera in front of his television.

No doubt he personally knows some of the service's other psychics, as well as some of the presenters - including Bronia West...

Orielle

I found a circle of feathers in the garden this morning. Unfortunately,

I have forgotten what the lovely Carole said ... regarding their meaning.

Raphael.....Raphael...Is that you ??

spookwoman

This is a spirit of Bushmills. Sorry for killing the bird but it was rather loud this morning and didn't do my head any good.

Orielle

You fiend!! But wait...there was no body, just feathers.

I bet you made up that story, out of jealously because Raphael chose
me over you.

I'm staying in tonight to await his message...This is all so sudden...never thought it would happen to me:cool:

spookwoman

I thought the little fecker could be useful so I brought the body in and gutted it. Was a bit tough but tasted ok

Orielle

So Raphael won't be visiting tonight after all... I'm devastated.

I'm going out to drink absinthe, in a dark corner of a shady pub.*sob*

I shall leave you to karma. It will strike when you least expect it.

Galway K9

ANyone know where spookwomans videos are gone, their not on youtube any more

BMollie

Hi GALWAY...think they were taken down by telemedia. Would love to see the TOM KELLY tractor one again..it was brilliant

Ah tajd great to hear from you again...yes we did have some great laughs here and I miss all the boardies.

Pity it was such a rip off show though. Flathan has left telemedia the show that produces all these psychic shows. :)

for his singing career right ?

we got no sleep back them but it was worth it

spookwoman

Sorry about delay yep taken down due to take down notice. Noticed the other day ad on pole for a angel and psychic fair in a few weeks here in waterford. We have some right gullible people here

coolhull

Hello again Spookwoman and all you old PRL fans. Like tajd, I was surprised (and delighted) to come across this thread again.
How can we ever forget John, Carole, Starella, Flathan's ''ring in, tell me your first name, I'll write it on this board, and you will have great luck, darlinks.''
Ahh, the laughs we had, the bloody alarm going off just a few hours later, the excited wait to see which ''famous Psychic' was going to change our lives forever.
Poor Mary from Kildare, I bet it changed her life forever, Shes probably in a Pauper's home now......

Galway K9

Was it someone here that did the prank to the show where some young enough girl rings and gets advice that shell meet the love of her life, and she responds saying "I already have a boyfriend, your so full of ****!" Classic

Orielle

Is this a thread reunion?:)

---

I came late to this thread. I found it by accident, stopped to read it, and was hooked.

I can't claim to have done anything to rid Irish night time tv
of those who prey on the elderly and the vulnerable, but you on this thread did, it was a great achievement, so hats off to you:cool:

---

However, what about the poor psychics They have now become the vulnerable themselves:)

Is Flathan eating properly (in his opinion)

Will Starella ever find a comb...and if she does, will she know what to do with it.

What about poor Carole? Did she have to sell her precious red shoes in order to buy fish fingers...Is she lying somewhere surrounded by white feathers?

What of the lovely Katarina...Is she a broken woman wandering the streets of Budapest...cursing her bilingualism.....

These matters make me toss in my bed at night...Will nobody think about the psychics:D

JUMP ON....Great idea Orielle...lets see how many of our boardies come on to chat. Remember Wayne and his 'DUVET DANCING'.....

Lets all share some memories, and they would be great ones.

Remember Flathan with the big white candle??? and Mary got her name on it 3 times...lol

Orielle

Oh...I remember Flathan's big white candle, and the excitement when Mary got her name on it three times...of course good luck must have come her way immediately, and she now resides in her villa in the Bahamas...I joined after Wayne so I never got to witness his antics...
what was his M. O?

Carole always stands out for me...Her devotion to fish fingers was so touching...and then there was that chain gang of angels, who were
looking over her shoulder when she wrote...she really overworked the Archangel Michael...I believe he developed PTSD..poor guy:

That show had to go of course...but it left a trail of bitter, twisted,
unemployed psychics in it's wake: They're outthere...and they KNOW where we live...scary stuff:eek:
