The Holiday Show TV3

ScumLord

No post at all on this one? I guess ye're all spoilt with your sky pluses and what not. I on the other hand have to make do with TV3 from time to time.

I'm fairly impressed with TV3 on this one. It is a fairly generic off the shelf holiday show but I think it's a tad more original and the presenters aren't nearly as dull and sickening as watching RTEs finest jetting off on another freebie.

Yeah i have to agree with this one, a really funny travel program - the on-screen chemistry between the two hosts is brilliant.

Plus it helps that Ciara Whelan is Fit!!!

I thought straight away when I saw the presenters they were a couple..You can see the chemistry alright

iseegirls

I'm sure they are a couple tho . . . . aren't they?

Their profiles sounds like it anyway on the TV3 The Holiday Show Website.

Saw one episode of it and yer man came across as fairly pervy if they aren't in fact a couple. She is pretty hawt though.

Someone was telling me that she was one of the spoilt ones from that RTE show "I'm an adult, Get Me Out of Here", any truth to it?

sillysasauge

I like her accent, your mans 10 years older than her

It is another Property Show as far as I am concerned. Produced to promote a website www.thetravelchannel.ie

Jon Slattery remains as bad as he was when he present several shows on RTÉ and when he was on of the on screen N2 continuity announcers.

They meet on possible one of the worst quiz shows RTÉ ever produced he was the presenter.

The only difference between this and No Frontiers is that "RTÉ's finest" won't be guest presenting, I am looking forward to seeing Alan Hughes guest present

I think The Holiday Show is bleedin' deadly! Roll on Friday!:)

PS: how can a holiday show be a property show?!

I was saying it was like the Property Show not that it was a property show.

It is an advertisement for Sunway Travel and the Travel Channel. Like the Property Show I wonder how much money was provided by TV3 to the show? How did they commission the show?

iseegirls

Only a few shows left of this. I'm impressed - it's funny and informative, and it's just easy viewing.

Don't really care who it's made by or how much TV3 contributed to it - but they're getting around 180,000 viewers which is good for a show that competing against Eastenders on the "other channel", so they must be very pleased.

I am sure that they don't care. Also it is supported by Coronation Street on either side of it. I amn't necessarily knocking the show, but I don't think it is wonderful, it is a Holiday Show. I feel that TV3 have "produced" allot of these "types" shows in the past. This isn't anything new. And I amn't a fan of Jon Slattery as I have said, and I would say that even if he was on any other channel.

EastEnders isn't the strongest Soap on the TV.

Elmo

Also just in case Ciara or Jon is pfeiffer, my apologies for my criticism.

pfeiffer

I wish! I'll definitely be watching anyway, unless of course I bag myself a cheap holiday in the meantime!

callaway92

Tis on now..over at 8.30

Must say I've seen a couple of episodes of this and I've been impressed too. Very refreshing compared to the Kathryn thomas drivel on RTE.

There's a good buzz off the 2, although I do recognise the Slattery guy from some terrible RTE shows of the past! He co-presented a motoring programme on RTE a few years ago, it was brutal.

And yeah, she's easy on the eye

wilson10

Two pretentious prats.
Give me down to earth, honest to goodness Kathryn any day.

pfeiffer

Pretentious? The outtakes are hilarious - I love the way they take the piss out of each other and themselves! Pity TV3 squish them though.

He might be, I don't think she is. Perhaps that just my bias from the other shows he has presented, he hasn't changed. The motoring show that he did was ill advised as it was produced for RTÉ and Men & Motors, I think they had just the price of petrol!

UnderpantsGnome

I've never liked holiday shows at the best of times but I think it's pretty damn silly to have one now. First of all because less people can afford holidays and also because I believe the license payers are funding the presenters vacation.

pfeiffer

RTE are the only ones who get the licence fee so it's only the celebrity's holidays we pay for. I think it's the perfect time. I'm sick of the bloody 'R' word. Didn't see Fridays show but gonna watch it tomorrow instead, followed by No Frontiers. Nothing like a bit of escapism!

Yeah in fairness to the holiday show it isn't funded by the licence fee.

However many of the prime-time TV shows currently running on TV3 are part funded by the BCI's Sound and Vision Fund which comes from the License fee.

I think they funded the programme themselves....

Fair enough, if I'm wrong I'm wrong.

pfeiffer

Yeah, they were in the one of those magazine papers at the weekend and they did fund the whole series themselves. Fair play. Saw it on Sunday and it's much better than No Frontiers.

Elmo

It is a bit ridiculous that TV3 couldn't pay them for the series. They could well afford the project. Very disappointing. But well done to the producers and presenters for their hard word. I would said it definitely meets the standards of most Holiday Shows/Feature programming on any channel.

Can't believe its the last one next week, you seem to know alot Elmo do you know if they are making a second series? I presume you also work in the industry, you know alot about the two presenters....John must have p***ed on your corn flakes or something???

Eddi

I think the show is really good. Much better than watching 2 prats just reading off a fact-ridden script. This has interaction and humour. Some puns are not exactly side-splitting, but it keeps you engaged and laughing the whole 30 mins.

And anybody notice Ciara's strange attratction to the weird people they interview? Does she not know Jon is right there?!!! A bit of discretion...

brangelina

I can't believe people's reactions to Ciara and John. The show isn't a conformative holiday show, so a different type of presenting is needed. It has me in stitches and almost always makes you want to ring up and book the holiday they're on. They use their relationship well on the show. I'd say stop being so critical of problems that hardly appear, if even at all.

And also they say that they are keeping the 'R' word in mind, you financial tight-arses!

I just don't think he is a particularly good presenter.

Alot of first timers on this thread, I don't usually mention it but even if you where talking about a show that was the next "The Wire" I might beleive the comments made.

Again the show is as good as any other Feature programme on the TV at the moment and both the presenters and producers should be commendend for a job well done but I think some of the comments are a little OTT, if you are from either the Production company or TV3 I suggest to tone down your opinions to make them more beleiveable.

Seriously

The show isn't a conformative holiday show, so a different type of presenting is needed

It is still a holiday show nothing very different about it IMO its good but nothing too Original.

They where in the UEA last week, yes I must sort out a holiday in this R :rolleyes: They skiied in an indoor skiing range!

Agreed, it's not spectacular but it is surprisingly good for a show that TV3 made got for free?!! :eek:

It is an improvement on No frontiers too. They had Joe Duffy on the orient express his life long ambition last I saw. It just sickened me that he got a free holiday out of us and I had to turn off. I loathe seeing RTEs finest on that show.

I absolutely agree with you on this point. Isnt it bad enough the fortunes they get paid without paying for their holidays as well.. ffs

Though I would have paid for Kenny, Ryan, Finucane and all the other GROSSLY overpaid RTE presenters to take a journey on Minister Cullen's helicopter.

brangelina

also couldnt agree more..no frontiers 's time has come to the end..

My Aunt and Uncle were on the Orient Express at the same time as the No Frontiers crew. They used their life savings for the trip - a special occasion for a 50th birthday. The crew were obtrusive, they never asked other passengers minded being filmed and never so much as apologized for any incovenience. My Aunt was so so upset. Joe didn't even offer them a drink!

they now have a site http://www.theholidayshow.tv TV3 have paid them nothing as far as I know, nothing for the show or for the site, and they were their second best viewed show in series 1....and yes, they are a couple, but gaaaaaaaaawd, how did she fall from him. Shes pretty damn hot, and even nicer when you meet her in person. Damn them for there job though :pac:

FouxDaFaFa

I've watched a few episodes of this and really like it. It's funny and easy to watch. The presenters don't annoy me either, which is quite an accomplishment! I tend to find holiday show presenters a bit smug in general but these two are warm and pretty entertaining.

AEG

This show is so much better than No Frontiers. When you see the likes of Sile Seoige & Clodagh McKenna getting a free holiday yet again it can be quite annoying.

She should ring liveline to complain.

alwaysadub

I really like this show too-can't believe TV3 aren't paying for the holidays!! I was actually only wondering that last night when watching it as Ciara was saying things like "we found these flights" and " we booked this hotel" whereas on things like No Frontiers they just say things like " i was staying at.."
If that make any sense at all:)
The chemistry between them really helps with the show too,they don't take themselves too seriously at all.

yogidc26

It was my first time watching it last night and though god this is sh1t but then the funniest thing happen to me :eek: I started to like them two gits they made me laugh and by the end off the show I really liked it

Maybe he's rich ? Doesn't he own the company that makes the show according to the website and she was a " runner" until she met him

It is a paid for TV show. Product Placement. However that could have since changed since the first season.

I think its cringeworthy stuff tbh

Silly one-liners and cheesy......Surely they could get better presenters than those two.

Awfull stuff!
