Audience Members Wanted

The Consumer Show, which will be fronted by finance guru Eddie Hobbs and TV journalist Keelin Shanley, is looking for people to be part of our studio audience.

The show will be recorded in RTÉ studios, Donnybrook, Dublin 4 from 6th September 2010 and every Monday thereafter for six weeks.


For those who are a bit camera shy, but would like to experience being in a studio audience, we are also recording our rehearsal programme on Monday 30th August.

Audience members need to arrive at 4.15pm and will be finished at approximately 6.30pm.

To apply for tickets, which are free of charge, please contact Aileen by phone: 01 208 4643, or email aileen@cocotelevision.ie

Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that every applicant will be successful in receiving tickets.

Audience applicants must be 16+ years of age.

Will audience members be able to ask him about Brendan Investments which he touted a year or two ago ?

Kevin!

Would have liked to attend, shame it is recorded in the middle of the day.

No wonder this thing is free.

I remember his show in Vicar St was cancelled due to "lack of interest"

Could only manage watching 3 minutes before I switched off! Good luck getting people to sit through this tripe

It was funnier than last seasons panel:D

(And to make it clear, I occasionally laughed at the show, not with the show. Hobbs stand up at the start was not funny!)

They should be paying people to attend. One thing this country badly needs (or needed) is a consumer protection show...I didn't see too much hard hitting tonight, and that mobiile phone segment was painful to watch... Unscrupulous traders and scammers can sleep soundly in their beds once more.

He's back earning a few quid:)

The last attempt to top up his pension mustn't have worked:rolleyes:

Thanks OP, but won't be taking up this BA

I dunno. I once dropped a mobile phone down the jax inadvertently. (Damn breast pockets). Could be useful to know which phones can withstand that sort of treatment.

As a consumer champion, you'd think Hobbs would be likeable but alas the combination of that accent with the looks of a Transylvanian nerd ensure I encounter him only for as long as it takes to change channel.

Can't understand all the negative comments. You guys must never have been ripped off. I'd say any programme that highlights consumer rights is to be wecomed. But maybe you all like being in the dark about all the ripoffs of the consumer in this country? Having lived abroad for some years and returned to ripoff Ireland I'm glad to see Hobbs highlighting issues raised by consumers. By the way has anyone had trouble getting a paper bill from 02? I'm still waiting for mine - they still send me text to say my bill is available online but still haven't sent me the paper bill despite me requesting it some time ago - whats the story?
