    No idea, but..

    ..wtf is this crap on rte at the moment? Seriously? It's "now that's tv 2008" or something, and it's the biggest load of unfunny rubbish I've seen from RTE in a long time. And that's saying something.

    I feel like asking for my license fee back!

    Awful, awful, awful. Awful enough to deserve its own thread to highlight its awfulness.

    If it was live they would be pushing it hard.

    Hasn't been live in years so why change. Much cheaper not to have it live.

    They have Robbie Keane one year and he wouldn't have been there cause I think he had a match on New Years Day.

    A few clever touches I though esp the moments on the couch with Seoige.

    You mean this Turbidy show that's on right now? I think it's live. Didn't Leo Sayer mention he had just rang in the new year in Australia? I wasn't really paying attention but I'm sure he said something like that.

    It is live and has been for the past two years.

    Someone's going have to have fun with a hoover in Studio 4 in morning.

    don't worry, your entire tv license fee didn't go into the making of this show. in fact, if you add up all the hours broadcast on RTE tv and radio over the year or consider the budget of this show as a proportion of their yearly budget I'm sure it represents next to nothing of it.

    You should have waited 2 more days , you have paid for the whole of December now.

    The fact that licence payers' money is now lining the €2000+ apperances fees for Liz O'Kane et al must really endear Tubs' show to other posters now.

    Haha I love it.

    Not a bad show tonight - hit a bum note with Kenny zzzzzzz Egan, but otherwise light-hearted and relaxed. A lot of dodgy breaks in transmission for some reason.

    RTE never do the new year live last year they had the new year gong at 11.55. It was recorded 3 weeks ago. Friends worked on it. The unions would want loads of cash for the night.

    Went channel hopping from 11:30 right up until midnight, I thiought RTE was (as usual) really crapp . . . turned over to BBC One which I thought was right on the button (as they always are) With the Big 10,9,8, countdown followed by a massive 20 Min Firework display (Via My Hi Fi system) :) I also thought Jools was Greeaaaat on BBC Two (pre-recorded or not)?, got in a bit of Elton at the O2 on UTV which was really FAB (if you like Elton).

    Why cant RTE get it sorted on News years Eve? every year its the same little parochial chat about how far we have come since 1916 & God bless Joe Dolan, etc etc etc > or an I out of step with the rest of ye ?

    That was the vilest piece of TV I've seen in a long time. In contrast I found Bernie Lynch or whatever her name is to be amusing in a very bawdy way. Near the knuckle but at least she made an effort.
