The No Late Late/Ray Darcy Show For The Summer Thread 2017

Say Your Number

No one has started one of these threads yet? RTE showing Philomena as the film tonight, at least we're getting our fill of misery anyway.

Ol' Donie

Are you mad, both shows are utter crap

Nice one.

Watching something called "The Graham Norton Show" here. Seems to be some sort of talking show. Like to LLS, but no farms or Cancer yet.

Any features on antiques or lambs tied to torture devices on this Graham Norton show you speak of?

No, none of that.

But here's the thing, the people on the couch look...familiar. It's like I've seen them somewhere before. Quite unnerving, not used to this.

Very same feeling here. Also, I may have chuckled once or twice during this show. It was as if I found something funny/amusing. Now that's a new one on me!

So what's the story people? How do we all feel about Tubridy's presenting at this stage, is he getting any better, getting any worse... Is it time for somebody new?

Can we have a poll on that?

Welsh Megaman

Are you mad, both shows are utter crap

My head is still spinning from that Graham...


*looks at TV Guide*

...Norton show. So many things I'm not used to seeing on my TV on a Friday night - an entertaining, competent presenter. Star guests. The audience laughing and smiling. People having...fun.

Is this the future of television?

I'm warning ye now lads, no good will come from watching this so-called Graham Norton Show.

It'll all end in tears, just like when Troy McClure was in Stop The Planet Of The Apes, I Want To Get Off! and he didn't listen to the Apes and he kept showing off and then he found out that he wasn't in Space at all, at all.

Ol' Donie

Are you mad, both shows are utter crap

Well, I am in a serious pickle tonight.

How can I watch the Champions League final and that Howard Goodall Sgt Pepper yoke at 9?

I only have one telly, none of your fancy recording devices, and half an attention span.

Whatever will I do?

Pickle, pickle, pickle...

I'd just like to be the first person to say it's a shame that a great game like this has to be decided on penalties






(just in case it is)

Fair play to tubs, massive ratings again this year, so a real money spinner for RTÉ, from a commercial perspective he is easily worth his salary.

Let's hope he isn't poached by a UK firm.

J.pilkington

And I have to say one of the voting options shows how deluded some of the regulars are here, referring to these threads which are appparently a "laugh" I'm sorry but a small handful of posters engaged in a weekly 200 post circle xxxx where 95% of the posts are depressing whinges is not funny for anyone outside the small few who choose to be in the circle.

As I've said many times if I don't like a tv programme I turn it off / over. It's not like it's the 1960s where there is only one tv station. Even if some of you are hard up for cash there are endless free options out there so there is no excuse for watching a tv programme you clearly don't like for the purpose of bitching on a public forum with a handful of strangers. Life is too short.

I am hugely pleased that we have gone several years referring to that show as Stay There! with Miriam without causing any confusion around here.

To be fair, it's a far, far better title than the vernacular usage.

What's it actually called?

In my head it is actually called Stay There.

I believe it is officially titled 'Mir's Summer Snuggly Funtime HappyDance Chatty Show'

I'm open to correction, but I am extremely hubristic that I am correct in this instance.

I guess the Mirgathread will be started when the line-up for the first episode is announced.

Not so long ago the show looked tired, with not much money being spent on Mir's wardrobe or on guests from outside Ireland. Mir claimed that Irish viewers preferred to see Irish guests, and probably still would if she was asked. However, there *had* been a fair few from Britain in the show's early years, including even Daniel Radcliffe...

Fortunately, the show has really returned to form in the last season or two. The number of guests from outside Ireland has gone back up, and Mir's wearing dresses again. Last season was the cheesiest yet, but it was certainly the good kind of cheese.

Here's hoping the upward trend continues - and that this 13th season isn't unlucky.

That Kennedys Mini Series is on tonight and tomorrow.

Apparently it's a follow up to a series they showed a few years back in which some of the Kennedys died.


Joey Potter from Dawson's Creek is Jackie O.

Chandler Bing from Friends is Ted Kennedy.

Ol' Donie

Are you mad, both shows are utter crap

Ha, Dawson's Creek.

I totally used to watch that for the whingy (oh, jesus were they whingy) teen angst storylines. And the endlessly meandering dialogue.

And definitly not for Joey Potter.

Watching this now. Thanks to Skid X

11pm Arena: American Epic - The Sessions (BBC4)
Elton John, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Alabama Shakes, Jack White, Nas, Ana Gabriel, Beck, Los Lobos and Steve Martin are among the modern artists who test their skills against the demands of the recording machine that literally made American music. There are no edits, no overdubs, and no retakes, and the disc only allows for three minutes of recording time. Despite these limitations, today's recordings for American Epic have one advantage - the freshly recorded sound is crystal clear and of an astonishing depth, transporting listeners vividly into the past - and the future. Narrated by Robert Redford. Last in the series

Ow! City Slickers 2 is on.

New series. The first of three hour-long music shows from Daniel O'Donnell, with special guest Mary Duff.

Luckily Bernard Cribbins stepped in, he's a legend.

He also had a cracking little song called Right Said Fred. Quite possibly where Right Said Fred got their name
