Worth watching just to see the lovely Audrey McGrath . She is stunning, she should be doing more than just the odd European Weather bulletin.

If you're talking to the lovely girl Skid, ask her where she got her dress.....

And Lapin, stop drooling.....you're spilling the drink:D:D

Harry Angstrom

Audrey McGrath's had an interesting career. I remember her presenting the weather on RTE. Then she moved to TV3 for Ireland AM and then she returned to RTE again, which surprised me because I didn't think RTE looked all that favourably on people who left them to join commercial TV or radio, apart from the bould Marty Whelan.

They should have Jean Byrne on Miriam's show tonight instead of Nuala Carey. She's a lot more interesting.

Neeson

Purse strings tightened again. Getting all the rte folk out.

Owryan

Definitely looks like the RTE canteen was raided for guests

shockwave

Terrible line up, I think ill watch some repeats of the angelus, the 80's box set is a classic.

Welsh Megaman

Noswaith dda!

Lady Chatterton

Gach duine tráthnóna maith

Good Evening Everyone:)

Poor Evelyn Cusack doing the Weather while all her pals are getting ready to be interviewed by Miriam.

A bit like Babysitting.

I'd say she's off to the Green Room for a few scoops.....

Put the feet up there Evelyn....:D

I think the red dress is lovely, it is a nice change from the blue.

Did the Garda check all the suitcases in Peter Darragh Quinn's house?

Lady Chatterton

My mother will be disconnecting the cables from the Sky+ box because my Dad loves Nuala Carey

pierrot

Miriam has her dress tucked into her knickers :pac:

Harry Angstrom

Audrey is looking well. Nuala reminds me of the teacher's pet sitting next to Ms O'Callaghan.

grey_so_what

They will never beat Jean!!!!

It never works having guests on both sides of the Presenter. The dynamic is all wrong - some of the guests are ignored.

Russell Harty got a slap from Grace Jones for that exact reason.

Lady Chatterton

Nuala having a little dig at Jean Byrne :mad:

Thargor

This is like a piss-take to see how boring and backwards they can get, next up they'll bring out 3 priests and ask them what they like about saying mass...

grey_so_what

My dad used to call them "Dolly Birds" when women started on the weather forecast and my mother used to sniff at him most disapprovingly.....

She's only jealous!!

John Eagleton was my favourite presenter.

He was a great character, he would say things like "and looking ahead to Tuesday, well it's anybody's guess to be honest ..."

Lady Chatterton

I think Gerald Fleming sort of fancies himself

darragh_haven

Audrey........ The best weather forcasts ever.

grey_so_what

"I have an honours degree" and six weeks of intensive training....say that to Jean, Joan or Evelyn......

Harry Angstrom

I hate the way the weather forecasters talk down to us sometimes, like when they tell us we can expect Mister Fog.

grey_so_what

It might rain....or not.

RTE started hiring "Weather Presenters" after TV3's success with Martin King.

Kurz

It would be nice if the weather was as dry as Nuala Carey's undergarments.

Welsh Megaman

Jason Byrne :mad:

Miriam giving a wink

grey_so_what

I''d love to see Ger Fleming doing requests for happy birthdays on his gig the way Martin King throws them out!.....

He at least looks confused when he is guessing the weather!

She certainly airbrushed out her long stint on Ireland AM there when she was talking about her career. Maybe nobody in RTE ever watched it.

Skid

Jason Byrne can be very funny on stage, but he doesn't usually make for good television.

Welsh Megaman

*toilet flushing*

Harry Angstrom

How did he ever end up taking Pamela Flood to the Debs???

Lady Chatterton

I like Jason Byrne, he did pretty okay for a nerdy type, he took Pamela Flood to his Graduation.
