Saturday Night with Miriam - July, 7, 2012 @ 9:30pm

Lady Chatterton

Joining Miriam this week will be:

Chef Neven Maguire and his wife Amelda will appear on the show along with their five-month-old twins, Connor and Lucia, who will make their first live television appearance on the show.

Also joining O'Callaghan on the night will be Ireland's most successful children's author, Eoin Colfer. Colfer will chat about his blockbuster series, Artemis Fowl, which has sold over 25 million copies and been translated into 44 different languages. The last book in the series is being published this Tuesday and already one million copies have been printed for the US market alone.

Morning Ireland presenter Áine Lawlor will be talking about her recent battle with cancer as she returns to the airwaves.

Football legends John Giles and Eamon Dunphy will discuss their friendship which goes back over 50 years.

Country band The Three Amigos will provide the music - and will also share a surprise announcement.

Sounds like a good show in fairness.

Four years ago she had Giles, Brady, Dunphy and O'Herlihy on together as guests.

Now she has them on again, but she is splitting them up and getting at least two weeks out of them :rolleyes:

Lady Chatterton

I really hope Miriam gets Dunphy and Giles to sing tonight. They were absolutely priceless the last time

Listening to these pair reminded me of the good old days when Monica O'Dwyer and Sonny Knowles entertained Senior Citizens on 'Live at Three' on Monday afternoons

JonathanAnon

Christ Miriam looked like King Kong reaching for the child...

She seems a lot more relaxed reading the intros than she used to be.

Wonder what they made of Giles and Dunphy.

JonathanAnon

oh well done Miriam.. ffs, you think she'd know how to handle kids at this stage.

Lisha

Im speechless....................too cute for words...............also slightly out of place but still cute

JonathanAnon

Some contrast with that tragic story of the Irish couple in the UK..

jojofizzio

the child will be full of wind the way he's feeding him..

Lady Chatterton

Neven and his wife, Amelda seem like a really down to earth couple. Best of luck to them and their twins

jojofizzio

Lis-bonne,must be an RTE pronunciation!!

JonathanAnon

You can't say that without telling us why?

Atlantic Dawn

25 million sales, jaysus, and I've never heard of him or his books.

Atlantic Dawn

Mmm, the American market might prefer a book based on a leprechan who is a spy, easy money for me...

Fentdog84

Looking forward to Dunphy and Giles. Hope Miriam has the bottle to ask them if there is any truth that they are secret lovers

JonathanAnon

You're grand, lads.. We'll just send the turkey again..

Atlantic Dawn

What's the craic with the first guys Dukes Of Hazzard accent?

calex71

And why is he sitting right beside Miriam.. Is he her favourite... Looks really awkward..

Lady Chatterton

This is so cringey

jojofizzio

When one starts to refer to oneself in the third person....you may as well forget it......

He's like all them country f-ckers. Putting on American accents. That's not real singing. Sing in your own bloody voice.

Fixed that for you

JonathanAnon

Westlife?? Westlife + twenty years and fifty pounds maybe..

mayfire

They sound like they believe they have the Euro gig already? "Asking all songwriters out there to write us a song for EV"????? WTF

RayM

I've never heard of this group, but I can tell, just by looking at them, exactly what type of c(o)unt(ry) music they're about to play. The sort of crap you used to hear on Live at Three.

The men that put c**t into country?

Neeson

All three have American accents now.

Lisha

once again ..............speechless

Lady Chatterton

These type of 'music' is my idea of hell

JonathanAnon

Guy on the left look like Graham Geraghty..
Guy on the right looks like Robbie Williams..
Middle guy looks like a farmer up the road whom we suspect of interfering with sheep.

Atlantic Dawn

These tunes went out with linedancing about 20 years ago.

artful_codger

Bring out the gimp.

Macra Na Feirme dinner dance band...........

JonathanAnon

I like Aíne Lawlor... That RTE morning slot seems to play havoc with people's health..

Lady Chatterton

It is great to see Aine looking so well

RayM

Ah, I like Aine Lawlor... Even if she does regularly scare the sh*t out of me by saying it's 8:24 when it's only 7:24.

le la rat

That music was great. I hope they get the eurovision gig

I'd rather have the turkey back.

calex71

SO the late late formula is in place for this show then, misery story now and the rte shills on later

Or just not go at all perhaps.............

That was a classic bit of music...puts them Beetles in the shade. Off to say me rosary now.
