There was €200 odd plus worth, not a bad haul, perhaps not the best but nothing wrong with it.

*450e plus in vouchers

Audience definitely got less than other years. Apart from Penneys voucher nothing really else was worth that much

Conor McGregor apparently was hinting online earlier he was gonna show. Why in gods name he thought he'd be wanted/welcome.

I was kinda hoping he would show up when that kid with the bagpipes came on.

Trond

Anyone see Ewen Mckenna 's latest cry for attention. Absolute weapon.

If he suddenly just appeared during the pedal cars section, complete with hoodie over face, shouting "look at that motor, look at that motor" I think I would have pledged my undying love for him, because it'd be the most epic plant and pay-off ever.

But he didn't. So he's a dick

He should have arrived in a fancy suit along with a nice cane like Eubank. He's normally out touting some free suit he's been given, wasted opportunity and lack of respect, I'd turn up in a suit even if I was charged with going for a slash on the street.

The Lego set alone is about €120 odd. That creepy doll is bloody expensive too.
All in,they probably got about €600-€700 worth of stuff.

*Not necessarily representative of authors view. That show was indeed a feast full of the wonderful, but a greatee injection of Christmas would have improved things still. Never got the under the sea thing.

You’d think they
Ighthave sung the Octopuses Garden song to keep in with the supposed theme.

Till tomorrow night, all you Chubby Chops!

Merry Christmas!

I think the audience did very well for themselves - I’d be delighted with that haul to be honest

150 Pennys, 200 TK Maxx, 150 lidl. Not including the actual toys as you mentioned.

Arghus

If you ask me, this is the thinking man's City Slickers.

YOu'd be good at the Generation Game, although you forgot the cuddly toy

Hmm, EPG says it's City Slickers

Sometimes I am Tubs harshest critic, but credit where it's due. That was a great toy show.

Was it my imagination or was there less signing and talent show stuff than last year? Definitely seemed more toy time

I'm sobbing!

Me too! That little boy was SO thrilled to see his Dad. Obviously really misses him. Listening to his sobs, so sad. Hope Dad will be home for Xmas!!

Tubridy seemed somewhat normal this year. Other years he seemed very over stimulated.

OMG!!! Loved when the dad appeared

Have to say, I was not expecting that. Loved it!!

Can’t believe the celeb guest was some of the Galway hurling team!

Probably saved RTE 50K and helped boost the lads profiles. Good move as S Club 7, Five, Ed Sheehan etc weren’t missed

Too much singing, not enough toys. Good craic all the same. The army dad home early for the kids was very good.

Some of the comments in this thread about the kids taking part were just uncalled for though.

superb. the poor young lad.

Looked like he would never let go of his Dad!

Keep your holiday to Legoland.

How about all the audience forgoing their "gifts" to the girl who is homeless?

How about RTÉ giving up their ad revenue on tonight's show and giving it to build their family a house?

How about Ryan Tubridy forgoing a large portion of his gargantuan salary to builed a house for the homeless girl's family?

How about our government start taking responsibility?

How about you give them everything you got??? This isn’t the politics forum.

Well done for that. Have to say with all the messing they have done good with the surprises and highlights of the kids with disabilities.

Hats off to RTE for it.

I agree! Very good show!! So many cynics on here tonight!! :rolleyes:

But, that is the insinuation to the general public?

It was a big attempt to tug on the heartstrings and yet in reality we had this circus on tonight that is generating huge income for RTÉ, Audience figures are growing every year. It gets the most eyeballs, generates the most ad revenue.

How about RTÉ donating that money to charity. Why is there a massive disconnect between TV and real life?

The general public are already paying tax and most donate/help with charity.

Rte cannot donate the money to charity. It's basically paid advertising for the companies involved.

Whatever about people's opinions on the army whether it be they are "paid charity workers" , "going for an extra 15 grand" or "do nothing". It's a big choice to leave your family for 6-12 months especially with young kids. You could see the youngest daughter barely knew what to do he's probably been gone that long. Fair play great moment on Irish tv for me

Spot on! It was a fantastic moment. The little boy, being the eldest, obviously has more memories of his father and clearly has missed him. It was so
moving listening to his sobs as he clung to his father. The little girls were not as excited to see him, especially the youngest, as she did not seem to
react at all. Was not expecting it, to be honest - best moment of the night for me!

They are funded by licence fees and can’t be seen to giving money to charities that’s not what licence fees are for.
The toys are donated to charity ( by Smyths and Ken Black) the holiday was provided by Aer lingus and Legoland.

There’s not much if a disconnect it was watched by about a million people from their own Homes. Most if these people will have put their hand in their pocket over the year and donated to charity. The viewers sat down to watch the toy show and not Children in need.

Life doesn’t revolve around the homeless

That little girl Molly was over the moon with her present and to hear she would spend the day as a zoologist.
