There once was a Elf called Ryan, whose tv show required lots of wine, so viewers could watch, all that he would botch, then home to his Gaybo shrine

I heard them say on the radio this morning that the show took SEVEN weeks of preparation. And if anybody saw the interview with AP McCoy last week, it's obvious that preparation for everything else gets put on the back boiler while Tubridy tries on different Christmas jumpers and practices locking arms with the Billie Barry kids. Is this show really worth all the resources that RTE put into it, especially given that it's to the detriment to every other show in between?

I think last year it was available to watch worldwide on the RTE Player so that may be an option again this year. If it is it will be busy though and the RTE Player doesn't deal with busy well.

It is worth it for that one show but Tubs shouldnt be allowed do his piss poor performance on every other Late Late Show. It really shows that he puts effort into the toy show. He is less reliant on cue cards and notes. It also shows that he doesnt have to even try the rest of the year. He will milk this performance for everything it has got.

I dont want to drag this into a downer, I like the toy show and Tubs is as good as Gay or Pat at it, probably better. Just wish he would put a tenth of as much effort into a normal show. Roll on tonight:)

Tradition, cringe factor, presents ideas for their own kids, they want to watch it with their kids, etc.

A MESSAGE FROM THE TV MOD TEAM

Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen,

Tonight is the one of busiest nights of the year for the Television forum - The Late Late Toy Show is a fast moving thread which attracts a huge following (1361 posts in 2014, 1700 posts in 2013 and 1547 posts in 2012).

So with this in mind the Television Moderators would ask everyone to familiarise themselves with the charter before posting in this thread.

The Rules:

There should be no spam, trolling or any general muppetry.

All the usual Boards.ie rules also apply.

***** Expect an infraction/ban if you make an offensive/derogatory remark about any minor appearing in tonight's show *****

***** If you have an issue with any post, please report it, don't quote it as it makes it more difficult to clean up the thread afterwards *****

Finally, whether you're a Late Late Show thread regular or a new poster, we hope you enjoy tonight's show/thread.

So any drinking games planned for the show tonight?

PeterTheEighth

A show on RTE ONE now with every RTE staff member saying what a great lad Tubridy is with the kids. And the narration is done by Nicky Byrne just to give it the appropriate amount of class it deserves.

Might be of interest to some people though.

JustTheOne

Billy Barry brats not looking forward too:(

OakeyDokey

But there's adults with grown up families and others with no children watching it.

Sam Kade

I suppose it suits tubridy down to the ground considering he's an overgrown child. They should replace him for every other late late though.

Will Bono be on it

Not a child in sight in this house, cats snoring, wine chilling, T-kick off....

The rugby is being very accommodating finishing in time...

Time to have a little taste of the grape before the fun begins....

Apparently, it's Beauty and the Beast-themed, this year.
When on Earth is it going to be Bedknobs and Broomsticks-themed?
WHEN?
Or One Of Our Dinosaurs Are Missing?
EDIT: In Hindsight - maybe not. A bit too racist.

Drove past the Billie Barry "school" in Fairview the other day. The hairs on the back of my neck were literally standing on end from fear. My mother used to threaten to send me when I was being bold. Who needs borstal when you have that? :rolleyes:

Welsh Megaman

There could be one or two Star Wars toys tonight... :pac:

Evenin' all.

Enjoy the show.

There's a friend-of-mine's daughter performing in the show tonight, and another friend in the audience, so that's two extra entries in the list of drinking cues for me!
