Take on the Takeaway RTE 1

Poochie05 · 2010-07-14 19:45:17

Does anyone else think this show is missing the point? The concept that you can cook healthier food quicker than ordering takeaway is a good one but I would imagine most people order takeaway because they can't be a*sed cooking and have nothing in the house. Having to go shopping for the ingredients and cooking it up…

This is a god awful show, how this ever even got printed off someone's computer to pitch to someone in RTE is beyond me. Like I said already on this thread, The whole premise for the show is completely flawed... what exactly is the show meant to be proving?... if you hire a professional chef and get them to cook in your house, it might be nicer than getting a takeaway...

What cheek!

Your right RTÉ is an Irish channel. Head of TV is from Northern Ireland and as is the DG of RTÉ. Both from opposite ends of the political divide. Next you be telling UTV and BBC NI not to involve anyone from the South.

This is a god awful show, how this ever even got printed off someone's computer to pitch to someone in RTE is beyond me.

Possibly because it got passed someone from the BBC first. Can you believe the cheek of the BBC employing an Irish TV company to produce a UK TV series. :rolleyes: You would think the BBC do not broadcast into Ireland.

They do and they have. Ballykissangel and George Gentle while both are network TV shows both are commissioned by BBC NI, and both are bigger than a one of the worst TV reality shows ever made. And they have done some filming for some lifestyle/factual shows in the south for local TV.

Perhaps RTÉ shouldn't broadcast any of the NI county GAA teams when played in the 6 counties, or Ulster Rugby Matches.

Newry is in Ireland or didnt you know? Strabane too. Shocked by your attitude, TBH.
Enjoyable show, by the way.

Newry and Strabane are not in the republic. They are in a different jurisdiction.

Nutritionist isn't a protected term, anyone can use it.

I wondered that too, this is an RTE production not a joint production and funded by the Irish TV licence and its filmed in a different jurisdiction surely they should of filmed it in the republic we are short of Irish TV shows. If this was made by a production company I wouldn't care but it's RTE. You don't see the BBC filming home grown TV in the republic of Ireland, the GBP wouldn't stand for it

That's a lie I have already pointed out 3 major dramas produced by the BBC in Ireland, I will add Murphy's Law to the list of dramas produced by the BBC in the republic of Ireland.

Yes the same company that made the UK version of the show for the BBC.
