RTE does comic relief

Never mind the pubs or anything else, the end of these ****ing zoom group song things will be the single greatest thing about lockdown being over.

Between these and those awful poems I never want to lay eyes on Imelda May again.

Ol' Donie

I flippin love this song.

It's absolute magic.

It was indeed. Marianne and Conall singing in confession with the priest from Fleabag.

Your missing the point though. I'm grand with not watching it. It's the having to pay for this complete and utter shíte part whether I watch or not part that písses me off.

It's not just this tonight. It's almost anything RTE put out. If I don't like Netflix, Amazon prime, sky, whatever, I can just cancel it. If I don't pay for RTE I go to jail. ðŸ‘

Just waiting to see if there's going to be any comedy. Have to suffer the other stuff until then

Oh, it was amazing.

Wowzers, I'm a little emotional here.

Few hours entertainment there, ya know something as bad and all as it is it's something, I've donated €50 to it there and as the government is matching up to €3 million that's €100 in my head, bad an all as it is at least it's something

They look very tired standing there. Jennifer had to change her shoes with the feet probably being painful. It’s a warm, humid night and taking the life out of them.

Great to see such positivity here tonight for a charity event. Christ, cheer the **** up people or change the channel.

Irish Begrudgery. Unfair to be comparing rte with Bbc considering the vast difference in budget and viewing population.

I like the classic Guinness ad, all systems go.

Even if it does the player will will crash multiple times while viewing and play three adds each and every time you try to go back to where you were. Again, pure value for money.

They all left for a pee I’d say and RTÉ couldn’t afford Nicky’s appearance fee for more then an hour or two I’d say. Leave Jenny and Nicky on and let the rest off screen.

Sure they're hardly standing there for all the VT bits? It's 3 mins here and there??

Friend of mine bought a house from Nama round here too and there wasn't a scrap of metal left when he took ownership.

Even if it does it'll be impossible to watch.

RTE choose to waste tons of their budget on
A) salaries of TV 'stars' with average talent
b) unnecessary American exports
c) sending their overpaid TV presenters on travel show junkets
d) an abundance of terrible comedy shows that have no focus on providing quality.

CH4 have less budget than BBC and still do a great job. TG4 get less budget and still churn out quality TV.

This just reminds me how much hard work the main characters of Normal People are.

It would look more natural if they were sitting on couches and chairs, maybe in a “home” type setting with a telly in the corner, a pretend bottle of something on the table, kind of appearing to be watching the scenes along with us.

I imagine if there was English equivalent live commentary thread, you would get the same 'I hate this bollox' 'What was that sh1te' 'Can't believe I'm paying a License Fee for this'

Banana Republic.

Can I eat both plates? Is there a hidden meaning?

Holy cow. And that was a sketch about it? Watching it must be hell on earth.

Within a couple of seconds I wanted to kill yer man..is he wearing a dressing gown?..
Anyway, I was like..'there's surely an epic thread bitching about this on boards..'
