Guests are so so, presenter is dire! But I guess we all knew that.

Fr Tod Umptious

So 80% of the guests are from RTE related shows.

Says it all really.

No need for two chat shows at the weekend

grey_so_what

I'll have two kitteh's and three doggeh's to go please WM! OP up to scratch as usual!

Don't know much about these dragon's, I never really watched it....DJ's Ex kinda turned me off the whole concept...



Where's this show they they are talking about giving to Brendan?

Valentina

I like Bell X1

Staying in tonight so I'll see yis later. I have 80 bottles of cider in and 12 bottles of wine which should just about see me through the misery. :pac:

jimmynokia

Between this and tubridy they should just have the one show and call it "The RTE canteen weekly show".

Agricola

Beggars belief that this gets commissioned and will probably be around next season too. People really will watch any old shíte.

RobertKK

I am sure there will be misery somewhere apart from Ray's questions.

And what have you got the rest of the show

lanomist

Really scraping the bottom of the barrel with these guests and this presenter. Why the hell did they replace Brendan O Connor with this amateur Can't even ask a question without looking at his cue card. Will probably stick with it until "match of the day"starts. Bottle of red open and a few cans of Stella in the fridge to help me through it.

And we're here........................

Good evening Boardies ...

I'll post the appropriate helplines later................if need be........

Atlantic Dawn

Is Red Rock not more popular?

RobertKK

Yes Ray, you are turning everyone into alcoholics...

grey_so_what

Sorry, had to put the cat out, who's this?

Welsh Megaman

Australia, I'm disappointed in you

Ally Dick

Is that Mo from Eastenders on the left ?

grey_so_what

Ah, now.......it's about death already.......

Atlantic Dawn

I havn't watched Fair City since Billy was in it, he was gold...

Welsh Megaman

She's the William Roache of 'Fair City'.

Ally Dick

She's still a fair mare

RobertKK

RTE couldn't even supply the clothes to actors back then.

Welsh Megaman

No Ray, you really DO need glasses.

To help you push the right button.

Years ago I was in Blanchardstown library studying for exams and he came in to give a talk on something and had a REALLY LOUD microphone. I ended up going across to the centre and having a triple decker sandwich. Good times.

grey_so_what

Sounds like a Billie Barrie child tbh

Valentina

"10 kids in 14 years."

*applause*

grey_so_what

The Green Room should share with the Boardies..

Ally Dick

I was brought to Mrs Brown's Boys in the Gaiety years ago, before it was ever on telly. It was a traumatic experience. Surrounded by some very rough women who looked like Moore Street traders, laughing really loudly at Mrs Brown mentioning the word "fanny" over and over again. Put me off for life

Rock Lesnar

Why are they ''laughing''

Atlantic Dawn

It sounds a bit like RTÉ, everyone connected gets a job.

RobertKK

Ray is always putting his feet into things.

Welsh Megaman

Does she choose also not to wear her glasses on her face?

Read my mind AD.........

Typical media "keeping it in the family"

Welsh Megaman

It's 1972 again!

Ally Dick

Is it all homegrown "talent" again tonight. RTE must be really strapped for cash. There were no overseas people on the Late Late show either. Does Jo Wood live in Clane ???

glenfieldman

Clelia Murphy is a very good looking woman, and a great actress as for Brens sister she is brill

Muahahaha

Evening all=)

Isn't it mad to think that Brendan O'Carroll is Irelands most successful ever comedian. He pulled something like 8 million viewers on Xmas Day a few years back, his DVD and tour sales must be phenomenal at this stage.

His comedy isn't my cup of tea but you have to give him credit where its due.

grey_so_what

How odd to have such different actresses sharing the same interview?

Ally Dick

Her daughter should get rid of the randolph scotts on her face

Some boardsies picked up on this last night...RTE appear to be trying to save money reducing Joe Duffy's pay packet would be a start. In the last few weeks (on both Ray's show and the LLS) there hasn't been a big, well-known guest.

Valentina

Is anyone else bored? :pac:

Atlantic Dawn

Perhaps they need to do a Baywatch on it and have late night "Fair City Nights" for the older folk.

Or they are just trying to get rid of Ray and give the show back to Brendan without not admitting they blew it?....;)

They are in the same show together.

This is just for promotion.

Welsh Megaman

I owe a loan shark about £25,000 at the moment.

Brendan, if you're reading this...call me.

Ally Dick

Jaysus. She sips from the furry cup

grey_so_what

This is so boring, did the other guests not show up?

Do you have a missus Ally! A woman can't come on these shows without you making a sexual remark about them! You even stooped do low with that comment about the 16 year old last night!

Valentina

I can't believe they've been on so long already and are only getting around to promoting their show now!

This is painful.

They are asleep.

Welsh Megaman

Clelia looks a bit like Amy Adams, no?
