The Saturday Night Show: 22nd November 2014

RayM

So, c'mere... listen... 9:40 tonight, RTE1...





Ok, now that we've got the obligatory cutesy puppy stuff out of the way (hope I'm doing it right), let's see who'll be joining Brendan tonight...

The official 'best Elvis in the World', Ben Portsmouth, will be performing two fantastic Elvis tracks and chatting to Brendan.

Author Colm Keane will be in to give a fascinating insight in to his experience of life after death.

The star of My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding, designer Thelma Madine, will be in to talk about the outstanding dresses that she has made for her clients and her new store that will be opened in Athlone - we will also be treated to a fashion show of some of her new designs.

Mairia Cahill has been making the headlines for the past five weeks. We meet the woman behind the headlines who says she’s been living in fear since she went public with her story.



I don't know about you, but I'm excited already. I wonder does Thelma Madine accept travellers cheques?

Atlantic Dawn

I can see the scenes Monday morning in Thelma Madines shop in Athlone after she's on tonight, it will be similar to when they opened the first McDonald's in Moscow...

Ol' Donie

It's not the most exciting guest list in the world, is it, bejaney?

Edit: is Colm Keane the fella who's on this...like..all the time? The Kevin McAleer fella?

No, the Kevin Mc Aleer fella is Michael Harding, I think that's the guy you are thinking of?

It's not as easy as you might think Lynn... I spent about two hours yesterday looking for a picture of a puppy ripping up a picture of the Pope...

Evening all,

I'm liking this impersonator:):).

grey_so_what

He sounds ok for a dead man....

dublinman1990

Howiya. Ireland done well against Australia in the rugby, fair play to them.

Your man impersonating Elvis tonight looks very realistic tbf. I can't imagine him now when would speak like in an Irish oops sorry English accent.

efb

Caught in a Trap... Wales' second half performance against the All Blacks... eh WM...

grey_so_what

I'd book him for the office party....no hesitation.

Absolutely brilliant and an heroic performance from Ireland. Bodies on the line for Ireland.
