RTE has received a "significant number" of complaints after an appearance by the dance troupe, the Satanic Sluts, on Friday's 'Late Late Show'.

The group shot to fame recently following the infamous telephone call made by BBC stars Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand to the actor Andrew Sachs.

Mr Sach's granddaughter, Georgina Baillie, was the focus of lewd messages left on his answerphone by the pair, and later broadcast on BBC Radio.

Ms Baillie is also a performer with the Satanic Sluts and, after an interview with Pat Kenny in which she spoke of her disgust at the prank call, took part in a risque performance entitled the 'Robot Routine'.

"I'm looking forward to this ... I think," Mr Kenny said, introducing the performance.

It is understood that Ms Ballie agreed to talk on the show provided that her group also got to perform.

"There have been a significant number of complaints," an RTE spokesman said yesterday. "The information office would have been open until 11 yesterday and was taking complaints."

Controversy

The spokesman declined to reveal the exact number of complaints. Perhaps predicting that the performance would generate some mild controversy, Mr Kenny ended the segment on Friday night by saying, "Sure you would see more in a Marks and Spencer's lingerie ad".

No doubt Mary from Castlebar will have made her views known.

I've no problem with the content of the 'act', but the quality was something dreadful.
We should really be complaining about the fact that they chose to broadcast such an awful interview and 'performance' at all. Sheer drivel and idiocy.

Absolute crap.
Kind of stuff you'd see on a podium at a dance club (eg. spirit..), except they couldn't dance

The LLS is repeated tonight at 00.35 hrs

I missed the late late but heard that Pat tore up the tickets someone from cork won in the competition!! Good on you Pat. if people dont want the prize they should not enter the competition. It always drives me mad when people who win prizes on those shows and they sound totally unimpressed.

Did crazy angel lady publicly expose her fat folds while mimicking intercourse with a large silver alien surrounded by barb wire?

I think they're saving that for the Toy Show.

Clearly this was just done to cause a stir as its not the kinda thing thats up Pats alley at all (make what puns of that as you will). But if they'd really wanted to create some controversy, they could have had the group on, then bring on the surprise guests of Brand and Ross :pac:

So will the Plank get the sack if there's enough complaints about this?

GhostInTheRuins

Not a hope

Liveline are in serious mode today, no chance of this being discussed.

as others have said, I wouldn't have minded half as much if:
1) they weren't chubby
2) they weren't wrecked
3) they could dance
4) they were any good
5) they weren't wrecked

That said it was the late late show - so you have to expect shite.
I missed the ripping up the ticket. Any chance that's on youtube? Would love to see it.

The whole show normally goes up on the RTE website the next week sometime.

Didn't see the interview (I can't stand Pat Kenny so I don't watch (and I'm normally a t football anyway…) ) but caught the "performance". It was one of the bizarrest things I've seen on Irish TV. 3 girls with no rhythm prancing about in goth-y lingerie in front of a latex clad gimp, and then putting fke blood on their mouths. I had to sit through just for Kenny's reaction "So there they are, the Satanic (noticeable pause as he shifts in seat) sluts - sure you'd see more in a Marks & spencer lingerie ad"

Worth catching for the cringe factor.

No wonder then Kenny said "I'm looking forward to this".

He always struck me as a per ... man of unusual interests. We all know what goes on outside the doors of that Dalkey home of his but who knows what goes on behind them.

My God, I might just watch the Late Late Show.

The Satanic Sluts have achieved what Jesus himself could not.

Barbara Heavey, from Cork city, yesterday described Mr Kenny's actions as ungracious but Mr Kenny has questioned why she entered the competition if she didn't want to attend the popular annual event.

Ms Heavey said she entered out of "boredom" and had no interest in watching children play with toys for two hours, and added that she has no children of her own. She also said that she didn't see the presenter rip up the tickets as she had turned off the television to prevent an echo on the line.

:mad:

The ironic thing is they were on at the same time that the Jonathan Ross show should have been on.
Another irony is that thanks to all the idiots in England complaining about Ross and Brand, they've helped put strippers onto primetime tv. She's getting her exposure for her Satanic Sluts, Andrew Sachs has got a part in Coronation St, everyones a winner except people watching the Late Late show because Jonathan Ross isn't on.

It was awesome Jill. The one Friday night I regretted not staying in and watching it. But I caught the interesting clips on YouTube.

She did say that he could raffle them just as he tore up the tickets.
I think Pat was a bit pms that night, his hasty reactions were regrettable & childish.
Altho that lady was a bit of a twit for her behaviour. She let down the people of Cork.

Dudess

Meh, I don't feel left down. It's nothing to do with where she's from...

jill_valentine

No, Dudess, he's right. Make sure and sort your shop out down there.

Don't let this happen again. :mad:

Pigman II

Not really. It's nothing we haven't already come to expect from Corkonians.

We'd come down and sort it out for you, if it didn't mean 323723783 million hours in a car.

Still a few hours shorter than driving the M50 then.

Ooooh, road-pwned!

You'd get to stop at Urlingford though, which has Josephine's Restaurant - a legendary institution!

That woman who won the prize on the Late Late is an ignorant pig. Fair play she had no interest in going to the show, but surely she could have given the tickets to someone who had. The least she could have been was a little polite and dignified winning. After tearing the tickets, Kenny should have moved onto the next caller.

It's not like he can get hold of another two tickets from anywhere..... oh wait.

Red Sleeping Beauty

I wonder is there any chance of our politicians bringing this up in the Dail and then forcing RTE's hand into making a complaint ?

Anyone ?
Eh ?
No ?

Not surprised!
/sarcasm
*rolly eyes smiley*

Pigman II

They'll have to deal with the complaints over "Colin and JimJims Home Run" first. That show features two overweight narcissistic gobsh1tes talking blathering crap whilst wasting public money in the process ..... so its already within the field of expertise of those at Dail Eireann.

It was a nice gesture to see Pat tear up the tickets. It was the closest to calling her a gobsheen he could have on air.

The Toy show is the most popular late late show of the year and demand for tickets is always massive.

I thought the funniest bit was at the start when Pat pronounced it as 'Satanic slots'.

sudharao85

i THINK IS NONSENSE, ITS NOT THE 1950'S, RELAX, nobodys little james or mary is gonna be out there on the street reciting satanic cureses or whodoo, and by the way andrew sach's granddaughter, since getting an apology and what im sure will be greater future financial compensation from the BBC and numerous PR/Tabloid sources has also been adorning every "mens interest" magazine for the past fortnight, Im sure she was very very upset by the publicity this affair has caused her and her family, roll on the next 15 minutes of fame sucker.:rolleyes:
