    With Pat on holidays it seems Pat didnt want RTE having his show on without him.. So they have Keelin Shanley in Pat's role, in Pat's studio, hosting Pat's show, with a show of exactly the same format.. but they are calling it Prime Time...

    Keelin Shanley as much as I dislike her in that rubbish consumer affairs show with knob hobs, and on prime time is a damn sight better than Pat Kenny in this role I think.

    It's like air force one, it's only called that when the presidents on board.

    Damn got there before me.

    Prime Time: An Audience Discussion why not just rename it The 11th Hour: Extra Time so you thought there would be change.

    lol.. Well I was wondering if maybe Pat has some clause in his contract that only he can present The Frontline.. It was funny cos Keelin was forthright in telling us at the start "Welcome To PRIME TIME".. and then during the last break, the continuity lad said "After The Frontline, Vanessa Williams traces her roots".. lol

    I thought Keelin did well.. I disagree with calex, dont think she was better than Pat, but for her first run at it she certainly did a more than adequate job..

    They should at least give her pat's desk. She looked like a school teacher.
