I do like the Adenuga's. He is a Nollywood star and still travels back to Nigeria to make movies - may have already been discussed here but too many pages to go back and check
Thought both daughters were still in school until they were talking about the older ones pregnancy!!

I saw a competition on the TV3 Facebook page a few weeks ago asking people to knit a new tea cosy for them!

this was on the Ireland AM morning program. I thought the competition was pretty pathetic, there was no prize, the winner was going to be shown on TV and that was it.

But to my surprise loads of people made the cozys and sent them in.

But in fairness some good did come of it, they are going to auction them all off for the Alzheimers tea day chairty, which I think is next week.

The Mr T one was by far the best. I think one of the presenters was calling it BA baracus, missing the pun entirely!

OK after much googling and cryptic clues it seems she is 20! The adenugas are showbiz personalities in Nigeria and her husband is quite well known too

Lots have negative comments about it saying crap like "what have we come to, sitting watching other people watching tv", as though the program just shows people sitting silently in a room.

I actually watch it more to see the programs that were on, rather than the people commenting, it's like a highlights show. It reminds me a bit of BBCs points of view.

The palliative care line from the Cabra girls was the best line in the show last night.

Tauriel

I couldn't stop laughing at the Cabra girls when one of them said that she put her legs through the handles of a bag so she wouldn't wet herself!

Why do the Irish shows feel they have to suck the life out of a programme with "best bits"? Same with First Dates. It's just an excuse to get another programme out of it

Those two women in Wicklow, the blonde girl, I could swear it's her on the radio advertising Silken Thomas in Kildare.

It probably is. She's Laura Woods from Eastcoast fm.

I think it's absolutely pointless too. Didn't bother with the 2 over Christmas and won't bother with this one on Wednesday.
If I see it's a best bits show for other programmes like Room To Improve, Restoration Man, First Dates etc.. I instantly switch off. Doubt they get much ratings anyway compared to the original run. Even thinking back to those 1 episode a series in Friends where they'd recap. Those again were pointless and just dragged out a series.

If they edited an hour together of the Cavan Twins contributions then I think I'd probably watch it.

Love it!

Oh and the two women in Dublin (can't remember what part of Dublin, the Liberties maybe?, they have the cats and dogs).

Also the two young male gay friends, they are very witty also!

pilly

Personally I love a good highlights show. Especially since I missed a couple of the shows.

sporina

nooooo not the last one????? grrrr

Has anybody seen the new Lidl ads with the people shopping. It's a little like Gogglebox!

Love the show but the Cabra girls do my head in. They come across as 'hurlers on the ditch' critical of everything.
