They should have just brought back the panel and told Eoghan McDermott to make the tea.

Oh God another one.

To be fair, this has become surprisingly good.

Maybe they're trying to disassociate themselves from this laugh free fest

I know this is completely un PC - I'm sick of pride.

Almost forcing people into at work now.

I remember Maxwell used to ruin the show going off on these unfunny, making it up as he goes along tangents, it was tedious.

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.

I'd always assumed travel shows were at least partly paid for by travel companies, being, as they are, just ads for them.

Scriptwriters involved in The Den, The Panel and Waterford Whisperers sketches should be kept on. The rest of them by should be fired.

ETA: Sorry Foils, Arms and Hogs lads were good, but they write their own sketches.

He's wearing a feckin dressing gown!!

Just when you think you can't hold the lad in any more disdain..

So much of it is awful though.

Compared to the first hour, it has become quite entertaining.

Maybe the ones that involved package tours but lots of them didn't and I'm also including comedy shows that opted to film in countries outside Ireland because, why not?!

Some good production quality in fairness.

Atlantic Dawn

Liam Ó Maonlaí looking fresh.

Hozier just raises it all to a completely higher level

Ah no..

Say Your Number

I like the idea of All-Ireland finals Christmas week.

ibFoxer

Whatever about the rest of it, Hozier is some man for a tune.

Hey, I forgot about it!

I'm surprised Hozier didnt move that gig to a smaller venue.

He's murdering it..

phonypony

Hozier sure loves his 6 pints of reverb

Insect Overlord

Are the Hardy Bucks involved at all tonight? Or the Rubberbandits? Or Damo & Ivor?

He sings like he is eating something at the same time. Good setup though, they should have just got someone better to front it.

I'm finding it remarkably consistent, apart from the far too brief cameo from Dustin.

Would be a pain in the balls trying to get around Hozier in the midfield.

Could take a violinist out but.

Hozier is the musical equivalent of a rich tea biscuit, boring as f**k!

pinkypinky

I thought I'd only watch a bit but have stuck with it, laughed a lot of times and donated.

Also glad that there hasn't been too much hand-wringing worthy bits.

AndyBoBandy

What Charity benefits?

The Dee Forbes Licence Fee trust?

WoollyRedHat

Have to say if you edited this down, deleted the five presenters segments and got one good presenter, there's the makings of a good variety show here.

castletownman

Stunning cover from Hozier.

Ireland's best male vocalist since Luke Kelly. Bar none

What sort of accent is he trying to sing it in?..He's been hanging around with Saoirse ronan too much..

What? Sure RTE have no room for actual comedy. Notions.
