    That review of 50 Shades of Grey was funny, the best reviews are when the reviewer is describing some awful sh1te and Sean is just taking the piss out of it.

    Yeah, definitely. I always love Movies & Booze but the ones on the live shows are usually the best.

    Especially when the movies are rubbish.

    It must have been very embarrassing for him.

    Was there any boos or heckles from the crowd?

    Np just silence and him laughing to himself. it was the shortest segment i've heard in years.

    Sean will be pissed off when he gets back.

    He'll be wanting to find out who the hell broke his show while he was gone.

    just listening to the repeat now. she even tried to copy his usual link to movies and booze by asking the wine guy a slightly awkward question. is there no originality there at all??

    The stationary slot is finished for now, seemed like a nice idea but there really isn't an awful lot to talk about.

    Paolo's off again, you'd hope it's nothing too serious.

    Not sure of the name of the lad who was in with Sean today instead of Paolo. But Sean said he would see him next week again. So looks like no Paolo next Thursday either

    Either Paulo is unwell, or he was hammered on air. The first would mean he's likely having some needed time off, the second would mean he's likely having some enforced time off.

    Well he sounded hammered to me and very rare that if you were sick they wouldn't let you do a 30 min slot that you were already half way through.

    Any mention of him or wishing him a speedy recovery ??

    Well I thought he sounded unwell when he was last on. If he is maybe they aren't saying anything to preserve his privacy.

    Ditto - but there are conditions that can cause that when you're completely sober.

    Oh agreed but it was more than the way he sounded. It was having no idea about episodes of The Restaurant when he normally was on the ball there as well.

    If he is ill i wish him well !

    Was listening to the repeat of yesterdays show and thought his rant about 50 Shades of Grey was hilarious

    One thing that irritates me about the live shows is when people text in from the audience the general tone of them always seems to be 'Amn't I mad altogether' it's nearly as bad as the PBESO'S on Second Captains but at least I can skip through those.

    I like Tara Duggan. She asks smart questions and knows how to control and interview.

    Then again, I had just switched over from Ray and a teenage girl giggling together, so y'know… it's all relative. I was just happy to be in adult company.

    I like Tara Duggan too. Except on Movies and Booze. That's because Sean's yer only man fer Movies & Booze.

    I liked the chat with McSavage, he comes across as a bit of a c*nt, but he's always interesting to listen to.

    His outright refusal to consider spirits means that one half of movies & booze can get very, very repetitive.

    Why doesn't he discuss spirits?

    I'd love to see them do a segment on the top shelf, even if it was only a few times a year.

    It's getting a bit boring and repetitive with the beers and wines week after week.

    Could you imagine Jonathan Healy's pontificating afterwards? :pac:

    I love Sean's show, I like his personality as well as the diverse show content (some topics off the wall!), love the regular slots ie parenting Pauolo Tuillo (sp) and not forgetting Friday's movies and booze

    Oh that name rings a bell.


    Seriously though, I hope he returns and that we didn't hear the last of him on his last appearance on the show.
