Late Late Show 5th Feb 2016

Two of the big names from EastEnders history will be among Ryan Tubridy's guests on The Late Late Show on Friday night on RTÉ One.

Spandau Ballet bassist and onetime Dublin resident Martin Kemp, who played Steve Owen in EastEnders, will be discussing his music career and years on the BBC soap.

Michelle Collins, who played Cindy Beale in EastEnders and Stella Price in Coronation Street, will talk about her experiences as one of the few actors to make the journey from Walford to Weatherfield.

Comedian Jason Manford will share his Irish family history - the Mancunian's great-grandfather fought in the GPO during the Easter Rising.

Following the passing of Terry Wogan on Sunday, comedian Phil Jupitus will share his memorable encounter with the Irish TV legend and make the case for bringing back panel show Never Mind the Buzzcocks.

With Room to Improve back on RTÉ One on Sunday night, architect Dermot Bannon will outline why he feels the political response to the housing crisis won't work, and why modular housing isn't the answer.

Jimmy Norman, the founder of children's cancer charity Aoibheann's Pink Tie, will discuss the loss of his daughter to the disease and his work in helping other families.

Transgender rights will be discussed with Chris Ricketts, who began life as a female and gave birth to two children but who has always felt male, while best-selling food writer Ella Woodward will explain how a change in her diet led to her career going from strength to strength.

Music on the night comes from Gavin Glass and Bagatelle.

Why am I even gonna watch this?

Ol' Donie

Bloody Nora that's a bad line up.

If only the best thing ever was on BBC4 at 10 o'clock, then Friday night would be saved!

Welsh Megaman

This much is TRUE...I DON'T NEED THIS PRESSURE ON to start a LLS thread tonight. ONLY WHEN YOU LEAVE the internet, will you realise it was comedy GOLD as usual. But TO CUT A LONG STORY SHORT, let's get it on...

No more graphs. I am full of cheese and can only roll. And type.

grey_so_what

I'm not sure I have the energy for all that lot!

Berserker

Should be a hoot, not! A good old Irish connection isn't good enough for the guests any more. They have to have an Irish relation who was present at the GPO during the rising now.

No proper Late Late show tribute for Terry Wogan on tonight's show, an utter disgrace!!!

He never really fitted in at RTE. Too much talent and he was never one for cronyism.

Rothko

Didn't even realise that Never Mind The Buzzcocks had been axed. It had gone so downhill after Simon Amstell left.

Never liked NMTB - smacked of snobbish music elitism.

The 'identity parade' has humiliating, not in a good way.

Jupitus phoned it in for the last 15 years anyway!

Sadly I have to agree.

Why would they?

It'd only remind them of the standards they would like to achieve to...:(

PeterTheEighth

Feeling more than a little sick here, after listening to that lecture on human kindness from Peter Sutherland. I tell you what Peter, I'll take as many Syrians in to my house as you take in to your mansion. Now F**K off.

/rant.

Evening all, I'm in good humour tonight.

This should be interesting.

Is there any other TV show in the World which has so many features about dead children?

Welsh Megaman

Turn it up!

RIP Maurice White

God forgive me WM but you're as bad as Mr. T.

"Lets get in the party mood"!......

And RIP after that in a split second...it's like listening to the mother :P

Strobe Lighting are on again.

I liked their early stuff.

And off we go. Good luck everybody. Together, we can get through this.

Totally. What a weird show it was. Should have been brilliant, but I always came away from it thinking these guys are kinda d*cks.

''An election-free zone''

*proceeds to mention election and fiscal space*

PeterTheEighth

"I'm not talking about politics cos my team arent winning at the moment."

A bit like my approach to discussing the fortunes (or otherwise) of Liverpool Football Club.

Jaysis, Dermot Bannon on again. He's always on these shows. What else has he got left to say.

Tea and sympathy Peter.

That's all.

He's a decent bull****ter on the construction/design shows once in a while. Where you know it's all bull**** set up for tv but pseudointeresting. Other than that...... SNORE!!!!!

dublinman1990

Not a good call to not have a proper Terry Wogan tribute tonight? I'm not a happy man after reading that only one guest will talk about his past memories with RTE and his great career with the BBC.

That whole load of guests for is quite big and needless really. No need for such a big guest list for the LLS.

grey_so_what

Evelyn - wearing black.

Not more gales.......

PeterTheEighth

Turidy getting irate at what he sees as the misuse of the Queen's (his relation's) English. It's lucky they dont keep guns in the place.

Dermot Bannon is to architecture what Ryan Tubridy is to TV presenting.

Skid X

Every bloody year.

They might as well put a caption up saying "ROOM TO IMPROVE IS BACK ON SUNDAY AFTER THE NEWS" for 15 minutes while they show something more entertaining like classic TV intros

sunbabe08

Late late raided the rte canteen again 😩

Welsh Megaman

We won't talk about the election...apart from saying the word 'election' a dozen times in the last two minutes.

grey_so_what

I'm not even playing that Skid................

sudzs

All very Dublin focused....

I reckon they'd get on well, dare I say D4 type of guys.

So I take it I'm the only Bannon fan

What's depressing about the current LLS show and presenter is that they take pride in not wanting to discuss the election, and instead insist on inflicting more misery slots on us. A sad cry from the days of the old late late.

I love him on his show. But he is absolutely all over the place here. Off the cuff doesn't really suit him, he's a little too frantic.

I love Room to Improve. Can't get enough of watching a middle-class couple from South Dublin overspending, pissing builders off, and ending up with glass walls and a kitchen island.

Berserker

One bedroom housing units, can you imagine the sh1te they'd build. I foresee a glut of poor quality homes being built no matter who is in power next time round. The developers will be rubbing their hands with glee.

grey_so_what

Why can't there be more debates and mad wimmen like my mother wanting to take on the world??????

I always thought Room To Improve should have been called Kitchen Island D1cks.
