RETURN OF THE PANTEH!


RTE's legal advisor...




*popcorn*


Coming up on the show this week Donal Óg Cusack and Simon Coveney will be in talk about the new initiative that they’re both supporting and have bonded over despite being from very different backgrounds. Richard Harris’s actor son Jared Harris, who is well known from his roles in Mad Men, Benjamin Button and Sherlock Holmes, will be in to talk about marking the twelfth anniversary of his father’s ...death at the Richard Harris International Film Festival and what it was like growing up in the Harris household. Former Fair City star Hilda Fay who played Tracey on the soap for years will be in to talk about life since leaving Carrigstown. Panti Bliss AKA Rory O Neill will be back on the show to tell us about how his life has changed since the last time he was on the show and he’ll also be talking about his new memoir book “Woman in the Making”. The Lost Brothers will be in to perform their new single, “Derridae” from their recently released album “New Songs of Dawn and Dusk”. Tune in at 10.05pm and enjoy!!

I had written a post about how Simon was decent enough in the Alan Partridge film ...

then I realised I had confused Simon Coveney and Simon Delaney

Panti will fast become an RTE regular now appearing on these chat shows twice a year. Like Sinead O'Connor, Twink, Dustin, Westlife, Boyzone etc.

Oh bliss. Oh joy. I wonder if he remembers in his memoirs where he got his American accent from seeing as he was born and reared in Mayo.

I'm sure it will be pre record this time, if RTE have any sense...

I doubt it. Rory O'Neill didn't say anything libellous (or inaccurate) the last time he was on, so there's no reason to believe he will this time either. If RTE had any sense, they wouldn't have handed over a bucketload of cash to a bunch of homophobes.

A brilliant opening post with those pics Welsh Megaman:D

Brilliant OP WM.

I haven't seen Hilda Fay since she was off Fair City for a while.

I like the sound of Jared Harris coming on the show. His father was a fine actor to see on film.

It would be nice Rory O'Neill to be back on the SNS after a while. There must some talk from him about his new documentary from his crowdfunding project.

I'm looking forward to Panti!

Howdy y'all!



Oh cheer up matey, it's Saturday night! :pac:

Pryceh! :eek:

I didn't know that! Think I see the resemblance, all right

Matress Mick is on, it doesn't get much better than this, the superior legend of bed salesmen.

Ol' Donie

Evening folks.

All present and correct. Ready not to comment one way or the other on this Panti business for fear of offending someone, or worse still, derailing the thread (although I fear that is inevitable).

CountyHurler

It always strikes me as odd that this chap who is so vocal in expressing how he has been victimized and judged all his life decides to adopt the name of an undergarment, and expect to get more respect and less abuse....

I mean, what would you think if I walked up to you and said my real name is County Hurler but you can call me....... Underpants Ecstasy :cool:

efb

great day today little nephew was down, can't wait for Panti, and a birra Simon Covney, #roadfrontage

Skid X

Has Panti given up doing performances? Her effort on the SNS last time was woeful (before the controversy started).

efb

anyone else have a bit of a black out there?

David & John at the RTE transponder...

We here and were ready and raring to go now with Brendan's gags.

Evening all.

I have just finished watching The Descendents with George Clooney, really enjoyed it

Atlantic Dawn

I'd love if they had to pay out more cash as a result of Panti.

No, it works better in the context of a gay club with loads of beer

Please stop the jokes Brendan.

Her book explains that- his stage name came from a CandiPanti doble act when they were in Japan

Yeah I did. It wouldn't be funny if the whole show went live while in blackout style from RTE.

amdublin

I don't agree with making fun of our President in that way...

Atlantic Dawn

Coveney, he is probably the best Minister Of The Marine the country has ever had.

C.K Dexter Haven

Who are these peeps?

He hasn't made any breakthrough into the mainstream with his act yet despite getting a huge amount of publicity ... but maybe he's happy enough making a living working the gay clubs.

He is selling out shows in Ireland and abroad, drag is quite niche, he won't be doing 5 nights in the 3 Arena

I don't think drag shows will ever become mainstream.
