I really can't understand how Downton Abbey is popular at all, but especially among under-35s. The whole show, as far as I can see, is about one class oppressing another. It isn't nice or pretty. Frankly, the unhealthy esteem in which programmes like that cast the Ascendancy/ 'nobility' is sickening.

I see that part of the programme is set during WW1 where around forty million people -- most of them poverty-stricken -- died (directly from fighting, or from malnutrition and disease) for imperialism. Maybe the programme was strong in denouncing that reprehensible disaster for the poorest Europeans, but I bet it didn't.

I'm not surprised that Tubridy likes it, or called it a "cinematic hug" (puke). The fact that he doesn't appear to see why it's problematic isn't surprising. It's almost comparable to a Stalinist not seeing anything wrong with a period drama which glorifies those vile princes of the Nomenklatura in the former USSR.

It's basically a soap, Eastenders with a million-pound budget. In that the writing is almost entirely plot-driven and the characters just go along with things

It's a pity he isn't as prepared to talk about the Late Late Show when it all goes horribly wrong. He just completely ignores it for the week when that happens.

Francis Brennan again
Ive a feeling we'll be hearing a lot more about first aid courses.

Is Tubs a Trudeau-ite? He tcisk the right on woke boxes anyway so I assume so. Will be interesting to hear Bryan dance around this issue whilst searcghing for anything to attack Trump with.

Well he didn't when Barrack "There's only so big a house you can have" Obama bought a 15 million euro house on Martha's Vineyard recently. Beach front property for a man who has been lecturing us all on climate change!!

Irish millionaires selling over-priced plastic produced in China by children whilst paying Irish workers minimum wage or thereabouts to work until midnight 7 nights a week in the run up to Christmas - what's not to like?

Always room for good Fianna Fail to plug their wares on a Tubs vehicle.

Alan Partridge: We’re also taking emails on the big question. What happens after we die? Frederick emails to say he has four children. He is the proud father of a new baby boy, Joshua, and his daughter, Susan, five, has just started school. And he thinks after death, there is NOTHING.

Another whiney song. An Adele wannabe.

jeremyj1968

Being on RTE and talking about people not being able to "say it straight" - such nonsense, even the fact that she is allowed to speak on RTE, she would have been vetted to make sure that she is the right kind of person for the Tubridy show. I'd doubt that she's a Trump supporting, nationalistic, 9/11 truther now really is she?
