    Think this show just started today. Fairly badly promoted. I don't think it suits a Saturday Night on RTÉ TWO. Since it is a repeat wouldn't Friday night be better to continue with News on Two?

    It actually started last week. This is the second show. When I first saw this last week my first reaction was, "What is the Week In Politics doing on at this time of day? I thought Richard Crowley had taken over from Sean O' Rourke!

    Totally agree with you about the time, it's wrong for this type of show. It should be on RTE1 on a weekday night after the news.

    I think it is wrong that RTÉ TWO gets away with only 4 news programmes a week. I think that this show is a good addition. However as I said the day and time are both bad, it is shown on Saturday Morning on RTÉ ONE also.

    RTÉ TWO also has News2DAY I guess.

    Saw the advert for this a few weeks back and thought that looks interesting. Horrible scheduling means I'll probably end up forgetting it most of the time.

    Oh noes Tis a conspiaracy! More like Sir Tony has got many fingers in many pies and some of them have tanked recently. 8-10 years ago he'd have been considered a buisness genius. Its all about timing.

    I wounder who would have called him a genius When he was chairman of Heinz he was given Eirn foods by the Goverment of the day, at the time they were providing a lot of job's. They were making pea harvesting machine's. He striped the company bare, I think thats all he has ever done to any company he took over ie EIRCOM.
