RTE mentioned in the Pheonix Magazine

I was reading through the various threads over the past while that were criticising RTE programmes. I wonder were the Pheonix hacks looking at the threads too. This is an article in the current issue (Jan 25th), you may find amusing.

RTE's Christmas Recipe

RTE has come in for a great deal of much-deserved criticism in recent weeks. First there was the Justine Delaney Wilson High Society dabacle - for which the station gave itself a clean bill of health, as the RTE Authority washed its hands of the whole affair - and then the critical reaction to the 'quality' of the station's so-called comedy output.
However, Goldhawk must confess to coming across something genuinely hilarious on the station recently. Having struggled with duds like the "experimental comedy" The Roaring Twenties and the dreadful Katherine Lynch's Working Girls (not to mention The English Class and Makin' Jake) a surreal comedy gem was broadcast on RTE One on Saturday January 12th, albeit carelessly hidden away in the early afternoon schedules. Jenny's Country Cooking (with Jenny Bristow) was dedicated to the to the preparation of the Christmas dinner, complete with seasonally-decorated kitched and plenty of references to dishes that should go down well at Christmas.
Goldhawk was especially impressed with Jenny's mince pie recipe but will probably wait a little while before trying it out.
Is anyone in Montrose actually monitoring the TV at all these days?
