I always felt that lad was trouble.
Acted the maggot, y'know? One of those messers down the back of the class, y'know?
You're right, he always was a bit...Unruly
Anybody hear 'Callan's Kicks' before? Let's just say, when Ray D'Arcy's new TV show starts (boo-urns) Mr. Callan may not be first on the guest list

Friday is just not the same without having something to give out about... I mean, if you take away giving out, there's not much left that I'm good at.....
Well, I'm okay at "acting the maggot", and I'd pass at "shooting the breeze", but definitely world class at giving out about Tubridy...
TFI Friday is back on Channel 4 at 9pm
This is what 'The Late Late Show' SHOULD be like!

Sounds like Kathy Burke narrating. Perfect.0 -

Back in 1998 (coinciding with her first anniversary), Christopher Hitchens made a witheringly funny Channel 4 documentary about it.

http://www.herald.ie/entertainment/tv-radio/ray-darcy-were-not-reinventing-the-wheel-for-new-chat-show-31301562.htmlRay will be taking over the slot previously occupied by Brendan O'Connor's Saturday Night Show.
For months it was rumoured that the broadcaster would be fronting an Ant and Dec-style Saturday Night Takeaway, but 50-year-old has said it will be a standard offering.
"It's going to be a chat show. We're not going to reinvent the wheel," he said.
Oh well.
Miriam starts this week, and then Darcy starts in September.
Saturday Nights, where did it all go wrong?

Di's death was terribly sad, etc, but the whole mass-grief thing was hilarious.Welsh Megaman wrote: »I didn't get it myself, Ray - of course it was tragic, but I didn't know her personally - only through what was said in the papers. I still think it was the British press that encouraged the public that they had to be sad.
At the time, I was nine years old and living in west London.
And I don't think me or my mother will ever forget when we went to Kensington Gardens to lay flowers for Di.
I was given the responsibility of laying the flowers, but the place was so crowded that it was impossible to stoop down. So I had to throw them.
I can't quite remember what my throw was like - but regardless, the flowers landed such that the plastic covering came into contact with a candle...
After my mother tried to put the flames out, the two of us ran out of there as fast as we could.
We couldn't help but laugh about it. And we still do to this day.
While all this was going on, of course, Mother Teresa also died. And, quite naturally, not many people noticed - even considering the fact that she and Di knew each other well, and indeed had walked hand-in-hand through the Bronx less than three months before...

Somewhere in an alternate Universe, that fire spread, was interpreted as a call to arms to those who were angered by the Queen's reaction to Diana's death, and ultimately led to the Monarchy being routed and Britain being declared a Republic.0 -

So it really will just be Ray interviewing the usual unreinvented procession of chefs/people who lost or gained weight/RTE employees?
What's the point in that? That nonsense was only tolerable cos Brendan threw in the odd wind up comment.
And the jokes at the start...sob...I loved the crap jokes...0 -
From various reports I have received, Keith Allen would appear to be a proper wnanker. Never heard a good word about him.
http://www.richardherring.com/warmingup/7/8/2005/index.htmlSo Keith Allen came to review our show, but instead of watching any of it, just got drunk, moved some crash mats, thus nearly causing serious injury to a young, but brave Ben Moor (who did the jump anyway – though I may have pushed him) and then walked out after one sketch and tried to beat up our theatre manager.
He then went on TV to say that the Oxford Revue was as you would expect, rubbish. This was probably an accurate review, but it would have been nice if he’d stayed to have his expectations confirmed. Looks like I'’ve been having walk-outs for a long time.
I do like his daughter, though.http://www.herald.ie/entertainment/tv-radio/ray-darcy-were-not-reinventing-the-wheel-for-new-chat-show-31301562.html

Plus, Miriam's show has probably had its day.
Completing ten years on air is a tremendous achievement. However, it's probably fair to say that 2011 was the last good year for the show.
Since then, the quality of the guests has noticeably declined - and any big ones they have managed to book, like Daniel Radcliffe last year, haven't been able to deliver everything that they have promised.
And while Brendan's enthusiasm never wavered, Miriam's clearly has - which might also explain why she only wore a dress once in 2013, and not at all last year...:D:D:D:D

I'm not against the monarchy - though I think it would be great if Scotland became independent.
And following the SNP's virtual clean sweep last month, surely the next referendum can't be too far away.0 -

Meanwhile, all the TFI inspired retro goodness of this weekend failed to include a mention of the bleeeedin Prodigy (or Progidy, as more than one person I know called them).
Yeah! Smack My B*tch up! I swear lads, I do think it's a good song. I'm not just going along with this nonsense in any way, shape or form!
(Though Firestarter and the previous album ruled).0 -

(Insert obvious joke about candles and Elton John tribute songs)
I guess we felt we had to.
We also went to RAF Northolt when her body was flown back from Paris. We didn't actually enter the airfield, but we did see the plane coming in to land.Yeah, I like Lily.
But not her Dad.
If she can come up with this song about her brother, then I wonder how a song about her father would go...
