Christmas and New Year TV Thread 2021!

Did she pump air into them?

after midnight, not sure when.

ringing in the new year on rte listening to Brendan Bleedin Courtney talking Shite. Nearly missed the countdown with him talking. Not a firework in site. Then some depressing band on. Pure and utter amateur rubbish.

Compared to the liveliness of BBC, the Irish one was abysmal

So u can't stand her but u follow her Instagram, odd

I wouldn't be too upset at rte for that effort as I think they had planned the concert on the quays to be the main event.

That didn't work out re getting cancelled and I honestly think it's a huge coup and a sign that there must be at least one person with a brain in there that they decided to cobble together something live as opposed to just re running reeling in the years or killinascully. Youd have to think that re running those was suggested by someone given how they are thrown on at every opportunity.

I would never ever expect rte to have the timing of the countdown right either, I think thats asking a bit much of them. My opinion of the people who work there is so low that I'm impressed they had a live program on for 30mins at all.

Also i used think Courtney was alright, not my cup of tea but a straight shooter and pretty serious presenter.

Now I see he has gone and gotten his woke credentials and is prepping his pitch to rte for a show about the lives of women in Ireland a few decades ago. I guess we have another deep dive into Catholic Church abuses and the associated horrors to look forward to next year - cheers Brendan! :) looking forward to that! Maybe throw in a bit about how bad we all are in modern times too!

Craig David really has not aged in 20 years.
