    Did anyone else find the sketch about the government containing footage of the late Brian Lenihan offensive, considering the man wasn't even buried when it aired?

    Just wondering do RTE even view programmes before they are broadcast...

    It was a repeat and was broadcast very late. I think it was ok to show it.

    It wasn't a repeat and it was on at 9.50. Just saying I found it strange showing it the night before his funeral...

    Sorry but you are easily offended.

    It was no more offensive than the News showing images of him as well.

    It was a repeat, that the third time I watch that episode and its still funny. The image of Lenihan was on screen for about a sixth of a second - however I believe that the Minister for Speaking Breathlessly may have been cut, not 100%, but if thats the case then the OPs fears should be allayed

    I still find it hard to imagine how any one watches this programme.It is by far the worst show on tv.

    That sketch about the hospital consultant dancing around the ward is definitely a repeat.. And MacSavage is hardly gonna be disrespectful to a Fianna Fáil politician, given that he's from "the family" himself..
