The Ray D'Arcy Show - 6th. October 2018

Welsh Megaman

Viewers are in for a dose of nostalgia this week on the Ray D’Arcy Show as the nation’s favourite puppet Bosco makes a return to our screens. Bosco has graced Irish television screens for over 40 years, and D'Arcy will meet some of the super-fans and people involved in the show over the years. Bosco will also be chatting about his upcoming tour around the country.
The appearance follows the closure of the iconic Lambert Puppet Theatre, where the iconic puppet came from, earlier this year.


'Mrs Brown's Boys star' Eilish O'Carroll will join Ray to talk about the visibility of older LGBT people in Ireland. She'll also give us the inside scoop on how the Christmas special read through went this week and what lies in store for Winnie McGoogan!

Rally driving sensation, Rosemary Smith, will be in studio to talk about being one of Ireland’s first female rally car drivers and how she became a motorsport pioneer who broke through the gender barrier to compete in, and win, some of the biggest rallies in the world.

And finally, Ray will be chatting to Victor (7) and Nicholas (5) Clarke to hear how they are helping to raise funds for the Magheracloone GAA Club in Co. Monaghan after they recently lost their pitch and facilities due to a sinkhole.

Bosco ???? Ah FFS
Two muppets chatting to each other
As Mrs Brown would say “ dats nice”

This is genuinely shaping up to be the worst Saturday Night show ever.

Ol' Donie

Not being a fan of rally driving, it's disappointing that the lady rally driver is the closest thing to interesting on tonight's show.

Wonder will ray give them a voucher for the barber's.

Rosemary Smith is a Motorsport legend and a pioneer in her sport but I’m afraid Farcy won’t have a clue who she is or what she did.
As far as I know she raced the Monte Carlo rally and was the top female pilot

Ol' Donie

Ah, the sad little cheeta kittehs.

Why do you do this to them, Raymond?

kevthegaff

Getting sick here

Welsh Megaman

Jaysus, that sinkhole :eek:

That's like something out of '2012'!

Or as I always suspected, Twink bringing the apocalypse!

I think the Jack Nicolson impersonator took that prize

Words fail me regarding this “show.”

So that's where she is.

Honestly, a few years ago I never thought anyone would say this, but damn it, this show needs more Twink.

Arghus

Ah wow! A cast member from Mrs. Brown!

SEPT 23 1989

A trip to Spain wow

Ol' Donie

If these kids were serious about helping Maheracloone, they'd sell those tickets to raise funds.

Also, no one should ever, ever do that flossing b*llocks.

Arghus

Wtf was that.

Ol' Donie

Ray even sounds disinterested in the voiceover for the prize.

Cool, we haven't had one on since last week!

paleoperson

Well this is too much for me, see you next week guys. Hope you at least can enjoy the old rally lady.

Sheesh, gimme a break...those kids are 5 and 7.


They should give those match tickets to someone older like me.

Arghus

Seriously, how often is a cast member from Mrs. Brown on this show. It's a joke!

darlett

Great. So.3-2-1...tell us about been a Lesbian

Arghus

Sexuality misery.

Speaking as someone who has actually seen Mrs Brown's Boys, I find that quite ironic.

Who gives a fcuk

walshb

What ya reckon, is it more hip/cool/fashionable to be gay or straight these days?

Arghus

Ray is so disinterested. "Ha, ha, ha, yeah....So you are fronting a campaign, tell us about the campaign."

That’s Ray, period!

SEPT 23 1989

That side view of Ray is like something like out of a horror film

Welsh Megaman

As if Brendan O’Carroll has actually prepared a script. :pac:

At least it isn't stolen which is more than can be said of Mrs Brown's jokes.

Legend is right. My parents were big fans of hers in the 70s

In fairness, its fairly disinteresting. LGBT became LGBTQ and is now set to become OLGTQ. Question is, do we need another parade?

donkeykong5

Yawn.........heard this story about 17 times now.!

Arghus

Ray is loving this. A guest older than him.

The young buck who inhales porridge each morning.

I always think that one day he will lunge on top of some guest. I’m waiting for it to happen.

Jenny Eclair has had the whole menopause schtick wrapped up for about 30 years now!

It's now LGBTQRSWXYZ!

"Right (yawn) great."

At least pretend Ray.

Oh i know who you're talking about now. Wasn't she on Tommy Tiernan's chat show a few months back??

Now bear in mind, if this is the same person btw, that Tommy doesn't know who he's going to interview before he comes on stage that this interview tonight will be nothing compared to Tommy's interview even though Ray should have all the questions and research already in front of him on his cards.

Ol' Donie

Can anyone remember anything good about this show since it started?

Honestly, anything?

Rubbish guests, rubbish interviews and worst of all terribly, terribly rubbish audience participation nonsense The Den would have been ashamed of.

Welsh Megaman

A strange-looking wooden creature, with funny hair.







About to interview Bosco.

:cool:

Ol' Donie

Seriously, it makes the Late Late look sleek and professional.

Rock Lesnar

I sincerely hope Bosco gets more time then Jamie Lee Curtis got last night on the late late, these guests dont appear to often on RTE and should be treated like the stars they are.
