    Bloodbath! Or so said the Star (I think it was), slightly surprised RTE managed to screw up a cheap mid afternoon slot during recession

    They can put on dark green velvet dresses and show people around Bunratty Castle - maybe the tourists would appreciate their smug smiles :D

    Interestingly, RTE said they'd be working on some prime-time projects with Grainne in the Autumn, and that they were 'sure they'd also be working with Sile again in the near future' ;)

    It's probably not a big surprise - what with the 60 odd million they need to save. Half of that is probably saved on the daily hair and make-up bill.

    Wonder if they have plans for the afternoon show - sheena ain't presenting it now, and blathnaid has her bullying scandal. What'll happen there?

    I wonder if RTE have some sort of overall plan for the stations - ala with Kenny going, X person will move here, Y person there, etc. But then again, that's probably giving them far too much credit for forward planning.

    Seoige put on far too much weight to even warrant watching the show with the sound off.

    You think putting Lorraine Keane in the Seoige slot (ooooh matron) will change this? ;)

    Isn't the Afternoon Show rumoured for the chop too, what with all the rumours going around about behind the scenes?

    Hopefully this will be replaced with some quality daytime TV - I suggest an Irish version of The People's Court, it would be amazing!

    It would require a change in the law first I think.

    My mother will be gutted, but if this brings Murder She Wrote back to my screen then I don't care. I do think Jake and the Fat Man deserves another airing along with Barnaby Jones.

    I think Grainne would be very suitable for Prime Time, I don't know why RTÉ keep putting current affairs presenters into Light Entertainment.

    Imagine RTE News on Two with the Seoige Sisters, that grump old fart on TV3 wouldn't stand a chance :)

    This is going into an afterhours retro discussion! I always thought Remington Steele was a skit on all of the other 80s privated detective shows like Hart to Hart and Murder She Wrote. It was very funny, one of the best comedies from the US, totally underrated IMO. (In saying that I haven't seen it in 10 years so I could have a different opionion if I saw it now).

    Repeats of Live @ Three anyone or 12 TO 1.

    It always struck me as exceptionally dumb to have two live afternoon shows back to back that were basically clones of each other with different presenters.

    It was just stroking the egos of the Seoige sisters to give them there own dedicated show with their name on it, as if they couldn't mingle with the other afternoon show presenters.

    I think it was more, all we need to do is to delete and oshea and we get seoige.

    The two shows are far too alike, I think keeping the Big Bite would have been a better option but it didn't really suit daytime TV.

    The used to have Live @ 3 and 12 to 1 running at the same time.
