TMNT and Batman were great shows.

Well that is true, most cartoons.

Derry Girls gave the game away mentioning the Fleabag priest

Is this a joke or is Normal People just billions of teenage rambling?

Is anyone completely sick with Normal People - it was mainly the millions of adds that were outrageous spoilers that did my head in.

Modern adds for anything are daft - like watching the full thing.

Yeah, load of sh1te.

Aw The Den really brought back memories. Amazing to see a glimpse of Ray not being an arsehole.

I actually like Nicky Byrne as a presenter. The others in studio are painful.

I thought he was Brian Ormond.

I'm definitely getting out of touch.

Honestly, is this a sketch or what?

RTE hoping this bit will go viral (it probably will)
Still waiting for the funny bit.

Your man playing the priest was in film 'Handsome Devil' with lad who plays Jamie in Normal People

Didn't want to be the first... Phew, I feel like Normal People

FixdePitchmark

Felt sorry for the Westlife lads - you could see it was a complete fake persona they have had to create - fake smile.

Grown men - and grown women going on like they are teenagers - bizarre.

All a bizarre act.

You manage to sign up Andrew Scott and get him to do this

I rarely watch anything on RTE anymore, particularly anything they produce themselves. Gave this a go and wish I didn't. I'm just getting angry watching it. Total and utter shíte. RTE are giving us about as much value for money as the HSE.

Sick to the teeth of it. It has to be mentioned in every show on RTE radio for the last month.

I didn’t even bother looking up from doing some painting of a picture during sex scenes, didn’t follow it, but was on in background.

Purple Mountain

The Normal People sketch was absolutely brilliant.

Andrew Scott looks so like Mark Ruffalo.

I've enjoyed the sketches tonight. Normal People, Derry Girls, The Den. Some funny stuff.

Shelga

Good concept, the hot priest doing confession with the two stars of Normal People- thought it started off funny but then what the hell?? Bloody singing? Wasted opportunity tbh.

There's about 50 similar shows to it on netflix...but its Oirish of course....it was hardly a groundbreaking show

Normal people always looks so terrible, I don't get the hype

It's so strange.

I can understand the lads, filling their pockets etc.

But jesus, how do adults still love boybands? It's so weird. How can you be so interested in something and never notice that they themselves have next to nothing to do with the crap songs? They don't even pick them. It's weird as all hell.

One of these was good, the others were as funny as the flu.

Agreed, start was good, but second part was so out of place.

When they called it Comic Relief they didn't actually mean it would be funny

If I watched Normal People, I think I would have enjoyed that sketch a lot.

It is absolute rubbish. Totally over hyped

I got bullied out of the normal people thread for sharing some truths with them and since then ppl have told me they actually agree with me that it’s very bland and meh

Where does the comic relief money go to exactly ? Script writers ? Great now the comedy genius of travelers .

I would like to see a telethon where just once they said "the phone operators are asleep, there is nobody donating. We are 45% below our projected total so far, it's a disaster"
