    As Bosco himself would say: F**king uafásach.

    It would have been bearable if they just showed the old clips, rather than the usual 'celebrity' non-entities making banal comments about programmes that they probably don't even remember. I mean, Jedward reminiscing about Wanderly Wagon; a show which was from before my time, and I'm nearly ten years older than them.

    I thought it was going to be along the style of those Justin Lee Collins shows over in the Uk such as "Bring back Dallas" etc etc! woud have been quiet interesting to see what happened to some of the former presenters and show staff.
    Instead we got z listers once again. Good concept poorly put together.
    Does anyone in Tv3 actully watch these shows before there put out for the rest of us to watch?!!

    In fairness the Den did get away with a lot that nowadays wouldn't have a hope of being allowed.

    good enough show this in my opinion. Only flaw being the usual rent a mouths all stacked up to get their face on telly for about 20 seconds!

    My Sister bought me a Zig and Zag DVD a few Christmas' ago, and you have described it perfectly. Instead of 90 mins of funny stuff from way back when it was actually the likes of Louis Walsh and Twink, passing commentary on Zig and Zag. Having Twink on saying "Zig was always the more introverted of the two" and stuff. Utter waste of time.

    Some of the stuff Dustin came out with was shockin'! :eek: - like very adult, insider jokes, swipes at celebs and staffers/RTE etc.
    I'd watch it sometimes just for Dustin and be shocked at the carryon!

    ill always remember the skit he did on garda patroll with some staffer standing in for the usual host (twas a fat red head guy).

    both of em next to each other dressed in casual gardai uniforms (the jumper one)

    dustin :" gardai in the sallynoggin area are looking for help from the public in locating a stolen black mariah (or however the hell ya spell that). its not so much the van itself but the six gardai that were in it at the time"

    cue staffer stand in falling apart laughing trying to give his line.

    made me wonder just how much of the den was made up on the spot.

    :)

    That would have been Simon Young who did the music spot each week! ISTR they did a different RTE show each day over the course of a week - one of them was a brilliant spoof of Glenroe!

    I was looking forward to this show but it's turned out to be a real dog's dinner of a mess. Anything Goes was a seminal RTE Saturday morning show but there's only fleeting clips of it. Instead we get that awful Mary Kingston rabbiting on as usual with her loud banalities. I have to turn down the volume every time that eejit comes on.
