Late Late Show May 4th

paulie21

Tonight's guests:

Eurovision: Tubridy will be talking with some of Ireland's most famous contestants including Paul Harrington, Charlie McGettigan and Linda Martin as they perform some of the contest's biggest hits. And they’ll be taking part in a game of ‘Eurovision Spin and Sing’ alongside Jake Carter, Ronan Johnston and Rory Cowan.


Dave and Steve Flynn- The Happy Pear twins will be in studio to chat about their ever expanding vegan food empire and how to convince younger eaters that veggies are not only good for them but tasty too.

Professor John Crown and health editor Susan Mitchell- They're going to discuss the continuing fallout from the Cervical Check controversy.

Gordon Snell - It has been six years since the much-loved Maeve Binchy died and her book Minding Frankie is making its stage debut. On Friday night, her husband Gordon Snell joins Ryan Tubridy to chat about life with Maeve during their 35 year marriage, what it has been like since her passing and the impact her work continues to have on audiences around the world.

Margaret and Shannon Keady - Galway hurling legend Tony Keady died suddenly last year sending shockwaves across the sport. A few months before his death, Tony had started to tell his story to sportswriter Liam Hayes, including his dramatic departure from the Galway team, and since his passing his family has decided to continue that work. His wife Margaret and daughter Shannon will tell viewers why they wanted to finish Tony's story.

Debbie Cole and Dominique Meehan - Both of these women are victims of rape who went public to raise awareness and, in Debbie’s case, campaign for laws to lengthen the sentences given to rapists who repeat offend. Both women will share their traumatic experiences and the impact that their individual attacks have had on their lives.

‘Big’ John Hayes - The fisherman from Howth who travelled to Mozambique to live and work alongside a local fisherman for The Hardest Harvest, will chat about what it was like to find himself fishing with just a line and some bait on a tiny boat far out into the Indian Ocean.

Plus music from Dublin four piece State Lights.

SEPT 23 1989

After a hard weeks work that's just the lineup you need

Maybe if the arseh0les in RTE did a honest weeks work they would realise that the last thing you want is more depressing Cr@p on a Friday night

Norton knows the score and that's why he wipes the floor with this dross

Ol' Donie

So the guests tonight:

1 conversation about rape
1 about cervical cancer
2 about mourning a person who's died
1 about being vegan
1 about fishing being hard for poor people
1 misery slot: Eurovision singers

Happy Friday compadres!

Jesus in heaven please help us.

Nothing like hearing about death,rape and cancer to wind down from a hard working week

Linda Martin vs Paul Harrington. Well, obviously it's Paul Harrington that has (loads) more talent, but it really is fluff TV to be having a contest like that!

Vorenus400

Who do the Happy Pair Twns know in RTE. They seem to constantly be on. They might be rivaling Nevin on the RTE chef/cook appearance table

Welsh Megaman

I mean absolutely no disrespect to Vicky Phelan and other women that have been affected by what's happened, but can't we have just a little time off from this story - just for one night? Nothing but wall-to-wall coverage on every TV and radio show.

I think last week is the first week since January he was not on an RTE show.

I bet that's the first time Billy has had a drag queen square up to him

Wonder how much money a year is paid out in compensation by the HSE?

Gwynplaine

This topic has been on radio and TV all week. My god, just what you need on Friday night.
Movie time.

Atlantic Dawn

Per € spent and lives saved would be nice stats.

I am good with them having a segment on it. I know it is heavy hitting for a Friday evening, but this is a current affairs show, so I would be surprised it they did not have any kind of segment on it. Plus, the HSE need to be held to account and the longer this stays a hot topic, the more chance something will be done. My fear is when it goes off the front page it will be back to business as usual. Hence, I don't mind it being featured heavily in the schedule.

EPAndlee

I think I'm going to flick to the commitments on tv3

and we have Dee bleating on for more money for rte...ffs

Well said, my man.

I turned on and off the radio several times today because every time it was a discussion about this.

sudzs

HPV vaccine for all!

paulie21

This segment is what Prime Time is for

Atlantic Dawn

What do other countries in the EU do that have less rates of cervical cancer than us...simply copy them, case closed.

Steve Clifford: [in confessional] Used to, when I studied I would sing hymns, but now all I can sing is "When A Man Loves A Woman" by Marvin Gaye

Father Molloy: Percy Sledge.

Steve Clifford: What?

Father Molloy: It was Percy Sledge did that particular song. I have the album.

Steve Clifford: Oh...

Atlantic Dawn

The HSE head fella is on the board of a US drugs company, you couldn't make it up. Surely any medical related role in a private company while he is working for the HSE has a potential conflict of interest.

And zero zero screening for mens cancers.

Skid X

RTE2 showing Ted at the moment.

They should have followed that with Father Ted.

Scheduling opportunities like that don't come along very often.

Men have been sent into the battle fields for centuries and had their guts cut out yet it is women who have been treated badly.

One billion in legal costs in the last 20 years

One billion not getting to the sick when they really need it

That's why this week so far I have only listened to Shay Byrne and Ronan Collins on Radio 1 and watched Champions League on RTE2 TV.I don't watch the Late Late anymore,but still enjoy checking in on this thread.

Good shout, Donie.

You should be running RTE2.

Vorenus400

What books are behind Ryan? Are they nerdy ones to replace the robots or are they to show Ryan is a serious broadcaster

Not everything has to be reduced to men vs women.

Seriously, come on.

Evening all.

The fourth of May be with you. And also with you. And with your spirit.

Atlantic Dawn

9am to 6pm, how useful for anyone who has an actual job.

mzungu

About time somebody said it. The HSE is a total joke.

Skid X

I'd just like to thank Atlantic Dawn for his excellent Booze Deals Megathread in Bargain Alerts https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057168220

That thread has saved me and cost me a fortune!
But it got me through many a Late Late Show.
