Lady Chatterton

Brendan’s guests this week are as follows;

Singer and Reality TV Star, Peter Andre. Peter will chat to Brendan about his brother’s battle with cancer, fatherhood and his future career plans. Peter was previously married to Katie Price (Jordan) and they have two children together.

Republic of Ireland and Liverpool soccer legend Ronnie Whelan will give his assessment of Ireland's Euro 2012 chances and the motivation behind his upcoming charity walk (from Belfast to Dublin for Myasthenia Gravis Ireland. Ronnie's eldest daughter, Elizabeth has MG.

Three new entrepreneurs Deirdre Collins, Grainne Kelly & Aisling Maher will talk about their new enterprises.

Jane McKenna, the Founder of the Laura Lynn Children's Hospice Foundation, together with families who have helped by the hospice talk to Brendan about their experiences.

There is not escaping the heavy topics this weekend folks.

More to follow in due course.

Oh .... Not very promising, is it?

Lapin

So we have a Z list celebrity talking about his brother's cancer.

A former footballer talking about his daughter's muscle weakening disease.

And families of dead children talking about hospice care.


Christ, this is the misery quota for an entire month in one show.
While the topics are all very worthy, Saturday night is hardly the time to air them.

Whoever is responsible for "light entertainment" in RTÉ should be first in line for the proposed cuts in Montrose.

As for the three entrepeneurs. I'm getting a bit sick of all this hero worship for those who happen to do well in business.
Good luck and well done, but come back to me when you've found a cure for cancer.

At least then we won't have to put up with Peter Andre.



Accessories for The Saturday Night Show.

Scotch to get you through it. Gun to shoot the television set.

Hope that's a 12 year old malt there Lapin....(did ye have no bed to go to at all??)..:)

Sounds a bit depressing all right....:(

Fine Gael TD Michelle Mulherin has been added to the Guestlist. She hit the headlines during the week for her comments on 'fornication' during the Dáil debate on the Abortion Bill

http://www.independent.ie/national-news/mulherins-fornication-stance-progressive-says-colleague-3087873.html

Ms Mulherin described "fornication", or consensual sex between an unmarried couple, as the biggest cause of unwanted pregnancy.

She raised eyebrows with her use of the archaic phrase during a debate on abortion legislation. "Fornication, I would say, is probably the single most likely cause of unwanted pregnancies in this country," she said this week.

Lapin

If we still had a monarchy she could go and
fornicate
under the
consent of the
king
with herself.

Bellerstring

Still, at least we have some gud jokes to look forward too....!

was watching an eppisode of gay laughs back or something recently where they showed various clips of old late late shows

on one show from the late seventies , gay had on fred astaire ( legendary hollywood actor and dancer ) sitting on the same couch as peter ustinov , himself a renonwed actor and legendary racantour

on another clip , he had actor peter sellers sitting next to sir mat busby

now i ask myself , was ireland richer in the late seventies than now that RTE could afford such giants of entertainment and sport or was GAY a giant who could lure such greats to our shores , the decline is shocking

Yes, so would the decline in talking abilities of all four men. They are very dead. The world is a far smaller place, A-listers can do a Leno and a Norton (throw in an Oz show for safety) and they have covered the English speaking world.
BTW, from the same period, Oliver Reed attempting to rape Susan George live on air was interesting. Actually Oliver Reed needs a greatest hits compendium of his various chatshow appearances (they'd all be over-18).

The Guest Lists were generally better in the 70s and 80s, but people tend to look back on those times with rose tinted glasses.

There were a lot of mind numbingly boring shows then too, but they got away with it because there was little or no alternative channels available.

not sure what the world being a smaller place has to do with RTE,s ability to attract big names as guests on thier weekend chat shows ?

when has tubs ever had as big a name as peter sellers on his show ?

i remember gay having bill murray on in the mid nineties , he had billy connolly on every other week , he would be considered a huge catch for the late late show now

Think I'll slash my wrists now, save me doing later.

Good promo for the show from André.

The TD one was spot on by the way. Abstinence works. Either that or put a rubber on FFS...:)

Obvious troll is obvious

Peter Andre and Mullhern look like a suitable pairing on a panel show of the quality of Brendan O' Connor's, don't you think?

Maybe you missed the Birds and the Bees class in school mate. Google it...:)

What are the odds of Mulhern and Peter André fornicating in the green room?

Hang on, André just gave the intro before the ads.

I reckon its O'Connor and Mulhern back in the green room.

Silvio.Dante

Watching two snooker matches online and now Brendan and chums...

Silvio.Dante

She ain't half bad for a Mayo Blueshirt...

Some loud as**ole in the audience! :mad:

JONJO THE MISER

No opening gags tonight

The visceral side of me wants me to see her make a bigger idiot of herself.

Atlantic Dawn

She's a real Holy Josephine...

I was kind of expecting her to be in a duffel coat, not a slutty little red number.

She actually looks like a man. A bald man wearing a wig!!

I shall name him Derek!

M cebee

speaking of fornication.....

can't remember the last time I got it

Lapin

She looks well.

I cannot help but think if fornication looking at that dress.

Silvio.Dante

O'Connor's been forced to play the abortion card like Tubbs last night. Looks like the the Stickies are back in control of RTE...

It is a desperate attempt by Mulheirn to get the Holy Joe vote next time around, because FG certainly won't hold on to 4 seats.

the middle ground is leaglise abortion for whoever wants it ..very simple really

jimmynokia

she is the dark haired version of samantha brick

JONJO THE MISER

Jaysus what kinnda yoke is this one.

Politics: showbiz for ugly people

Kurz

Reminds me of John Cleese or a Monty Python character dressed up as a woman both in how she looks and what she says.

Or the Three Nualas.

JonathanAnon

hmmnmm. So Mulhern was catapulted on to the Sat Nite Show at short notice... Methinks that RTE were under pressure from Ronán Mullen and his ilk, because of the pro choice agenda that fawning sycophant Tubridy was driving last night.. I'd say this is to counter that segment so that they dont get in trouble with the BAI... AGAIN..

Suzie4

shes just a mad one who needs a ride..

Aoife9

Hello everyone! hope you're all having a nice weekend! now who's this sour faced doll!? I'm guessing she's not into fornication?:rolleyes:
