    Ryan on Morning Ireland at the moment. Last year they had 40,000 applications for 100 pairs of tickets.

    This year they have already passed 100,000 applications AND the online closing time is 5pm today so expect a few thousand more today AND they have a bad of postal appilcations.

    Time to forget about getting tickets so. It'd actus probably be easier to win the actual lotto haha.

    I know they say that tickets are given out based on your application form answers but it has to be physically impossible to read that amount of forms.

    It's 90minutes this year. Filmed in RDSfrim the toy fair, Brian McFadden hosting with help from Jedward.

    I didn't watch last years and will prob watch this years out of boredom.

    I watched it last year and from what I remember it was only half hour, didn't think it was great thought, - in saying that I will prob watch it again this year

    That would have made it half an hour too long. Last year was dreadful. Little more than pointing to a toy and giving it's name with some christmas music playing in the background and kids standing around looking bored. Hopefully 90 minutes will give them a bit more time to put some quality and interaction into the show.

    Then as of today I haven't won. But with over 100,000 people applying I wasn't holding out hope. Watching it at home with a take away and treats with the tree up and candles lit sounds just as good to me ;)

    That sounds lovely too! With wine, of course.

    I always do that every year anyway....lots of nice treats and wine and sit down next to the Christmas tree and enjoy the toyshow! Since I'm off this year, maybe I'll do something nice for dinner, that's if I have time with all the cleaning and decorating I have to do :pac:
