It isn't funny anymore. Friday Night should be primarily about Entertainment. People telling funny anecdotes, comedians, interesting people telling interesting stories - that sort of thing. Every week we have at least one misery section. We don't disrespect the guests who come on to talk about these subjects, but it is not appropriate to have so many of these topics so often.

This week we have Euthanasia and Suicide. Last week we had Drug Addiction. The week before it was the turn of Epilepsy. It is not good enough. Your guest policy resembles something which might be seen in North Korea. Is it a conspiracy? Perhaps we are intended to think on a subliminal level "Yes, the economy is still in tatters and none of the Bankers or Politicians who are to blame have been punished, but I should be glad I am not suffering from a terminal illness".

"At the Weekend the people want Entertainment" - Write that in big letters on the wall of your Production Office and remember it when booking guests in future. The same goes for The Saturday Night Show, who have shown a worrying tendency to mimic the Late Late Show's bleak booking policy of late.

Yours Sincerely,
Skid.

The presenters role was gifted to him by his confirmation sponsor.

Suck it up because that's how the chosen ones roll...

He's not there for his interviewing skills.

He's not there for his charming and endearing personality.

He's not there for his looks.

Why is he there?

mister bishi

i'd like to see Dustin the Turkey take on the role

couldn be any worse than ryan the turkey??

Dustin would be far more entertaining and more able to host a show then tubridy even if he is going to rip the piss out of the guests for the whole show it would be far better then the crap thats troted out every friday

du Maurier

Not even making light, but Dustin is a boundlessly moronic turd that should have been put out to pasture a decade ago.

well, yes, but so is Tubridy

du Maurier

Oh yeah. You won't have any disagreement from me on that one. I suppose the point being, who would be a credible, decent host.

Well, I think that after 50-something years, its about time to give it a permanent break. The quality of guest has gone down considerably, and the quality of presentation has sank so low its embarrassing.

Did you actually send in an email? You should, exactly written as above.

As a TV licence holder you've every right.

Callan57

After a week of nothing but abortion :eek: RTE thinks it reasonable to foist suicide and euthanasia on us on Friday night ... what are they trying to do drive us all off a cliff?

Good old uncle Gay would have said "ok folks it's a bank holiday weekend so no abortion, no suicide, no euthanasia, no terminal illness stories & no childhood traumas .... we're just going to have the craic" and on would come Tom O'Connor or Spike Milligan or Billy Connolly or on a really good night all three.
Ah dem was de days! :rolleyes:

At this stage I'd nearly be happy to see Hal Roach.

JP Liz V1

Think the fella Keith who won TVOI is on also singing Baggin or Praise Zoo

I'd have looked forward to seeing the late Hal Roach (RIP) Callan57....

A decent, funny man with a heart of gold. I remember him well from Jury's Cabaret in the '70's......

He would have left me laughing for sure.........:):):)

Can't see anyone filling his boots tonight........Unless.....The impossible happens?......and we laugh?

Harry Angstrom

Evening all. Everybody set for tonight's misery fest?

JonathanAnon

Leanne Moore ... :-)

grey_so_what

And Ryan mimes his way to success..............

Lisha

This would win Eurovision for sure!

cofy

Evening All, I have to say I do like Ryan's tie. He is looking quite dapper this evening. This fella kind of reminds me of Jason in Coronation Street. I suppose we should be greatful that we are sending someone who can pronounce the words of the song he is performing.

Larianne

Oooh I think that song has a chance! Not sure about his eyebrows though. Bit distracting.

Kerrydude1981

Are they the River Boys off Home and Away playing the bodhran's and drums

Welsh Megaman

Evening all!

And helloooooo Leanne!

Rochester

Cringe.

Duckworth_Luas

What's up with his eyebrows? Looks like they were drawn on!

passremarkable

this is beyond belief(not in a good way)

SeaFields

Just in the door. This is very like last years song or is it me?

Uglier versions, unfortunately.

Welsh Megaman

Commiserations for coming in 17th. place, Ryan

And congratulations to Bonnie Tyler :D

nocoverart

Welsh Megaman

Awww, the babbies!

Babies now. I hope they put earplugs on them for the "live" performance...

Hitchens

Yo guys!

Lisha

Ahh lovely babies !
Mad story though delighted all is well

JonathanAnon

Rte sound team having a go on the drums as they are carefully taking them off the stage..
