The Late Late Show: November 15th 2013

Skid X

Making the trip to Donnybrook this week are ...

The most successful British Singer in Chart History (sort-of) and the man who brought Rock and Roll to the UK (ish) - It's Cliff Richard



He's been in Downton Abbey, Rome and The Sweeney, but not at the same time - it's Irish Actor Allen Leech


Speaking of Downton Abbey, here's a cat that looks like the Dowager




She's fresh from her recent lauded appearance on The Graham Norton Show, she's the Ken Barlow of Eastenders, she's Dot Cotton aka June Brown
(That's her on the right)


Seminal Irish band The Blades are reforming and playing in the Olympia in Dublin soon after 27 years. They'll be in to promote that



There is something about Teddys - Photographer Mark Nixon has a new book out which has photos of old loved Teddy Bears. He and some others will be talking teddys tonight

There is a Celebrity Comedy Improv Night on in Dublin this weekend.

Those well known comedians Sile Seoige, Jenny Buckley and Daniella Moyles will talk about it








Also - from the World of Golf - three time major winner Padraig Harrington




And finally, priest talk with Father Brian Darcy



No Graham Norton Show this week so hopefully there won't be any split thread awkwardness.

There isn't a Ghost of A Chance I'll be anywhere else on Friday at 9.35pm

Welsh Megaman

I'll just leave this here...

If I was cynical (which I am ) I would say his PR people started that debate to get some publicity for him and his upcoming tour.

It's a tough time for Cliff - he is losing the Calendar Sales war to One Direction. It will be the first time in decades he hasn't had the top selling Celebrity Calendar. He's like an English version of Eoin McLove

Allen Leech is such a ride

cofy

Looks like a great line up. I love June Browne, Allen Leech is gorgeous, (Tom could fix my car anytime:);):))

Will be interesting to see Paul Cleary and the Blades play again. They'd a big rivalry with U2 in the late 70s, most music journalists at the time were labeling the Blades as the 'next big thing' not Bono and co.

Today's the day that Tubridy talks 'bout Teddys.

In your face Children In Need - You might have Pudsey but RTE has lots of Teddy Bears.

Edit: Also a Celebrity Charity Comedy thing

See the bottom of the Updated OP for more details.

I love June as well, saw her on Graham Norton show. Now let's watch DLB mess up interviewing every one of the guests.

I know he hasn't been trendy since the word trendy was trendy, but I have respect for Cliff.

He was one of the first British People to 'get' Rock n Roll and it's amazing to think he is still recording today (after 100 Albums)

He hasn't been any good for a while, but from about 1975-85 he had plenty of good songs.

And he was in Summer Holiday. And he sang Congratulations in Eurovision

And Little Town is an underrated Christmas Classic

Cliff Rocks!

***Note to self***

(Calendar) Gift sorted for Skid for Christmas........

:P:D

Ol' Donie

Can't argue with the facts, Skid!

Evening all.

It's sad that I remember Lapin bragging about having achieved that last year on the LLTS thread, and I only read the first and last page of it.

I need to get out more .

Now he should ask someone to sing a song :P

It's the only LLS of the year I skip.

It's too popular, I prefer the ordinary, less popular shows.

I'm an LLS Hipster

Dot is 86, her body is in good shape

Mint Aero

I dont feel guilty about drinking every night now

Skid X

It must be odd to become famous and typecast later in life.

Lady Chatterton

This interview needs Lady Gaga.

kittytwister

Is this show recoded as he never mentioned the match

edelweis

That must be the best thing about getting older I assume - you just do as you want… and you can let your personality shine if your mental faculties permit. June Brown is fantabulous!!! So funny, so vivacious, so independent..
