The Ray Darcy show shafted to 10.30 = March 25th Thread

The Parish Priest.

Thankfully Darcy has been shafted to a 10.30pm start to make room for a simulcast of Mrs Browens new chatshow from the BBC. Hopefully this is the beginning of the end for the Farcy show and it'll get axed in May

Harry Angstrom

Mrs Brown's chatshow sounds like a low-rent version of Mrs Merton, presumably without any of Caroline Aherne's subtlety, humour or charm.

George White

It looks more like Brendan's House Party with Finglas replacing Crinkley Bottom.

Atlantic Dawn

Interesting, the show is getting a 15 minute haircut to accommodate MBB, I suppose if it wasn't Ray would be up past his bedtime...

But the biggest upset has been brought to The Ray D’Arcy Show as it loses its primetime slot to Mrs Brown. It will now be aired at the much later time of 10.25pm and has been cut by 15 minutes to run on a shorter broadcast time.

The problem being that if any show can be more nauseating than D'Arcy's it surely has to be Brown's Boys?

I might be too tired by the time Ray is on...from laughing so hard at all the swear words.

Or the most grating and exasperating mammy laugh!

Oh God yeah. I have no problem with O'Carroll. Fair dues to the guy and he seems decent. The show is terrible and THAT laugh is insanely annoying.

The Parish Priest.

Ian Dempsey and Mario Rosenstock are the main quests tonight

Atlantic Dawn

Ian Dempsey, Mario Rosenstock and Joanne O'Riordan will be on the show tonight. Also some Tinder slot on the show with the audience.

Ray will let one Irish Mammy chose whether to swipe right or left on a gaggle of gorgeous girls for her singleton son.

I wonder are RTE management being passive aggressive with him over him moving the Nuacht. If so, I hope it continues.

The way Buzzkill talked to Pamela Anderson was pretty disgusting tbh. She's had a pretty interesting life and is a bit of craic so a decent host could have made her relaxed and chatted to her about her highs and lows but Ray had to give us the line "There you are in this picture... down on your knees"

Disgusting being honest, it was a cheap shot that made her uncomfortable along with the nervous giggles from the audience that added to the car crash interview for which he is getting obscene money.

In a way I have to admire how he managed to get both a radio show and prime time television programme without having a modicum of talent.

Our cat has already turned his back to the TV

Looks like All Round To Mrs Brown's is not live, it finishes at 10.15 on BBC and 10.25 on RTÉ.

You dont know what you're talking about .... because that was the audience's fault again. Well my first witness, one Raymond D'Arcy says so anyway.

"We live in a world where people get indignant on other people's behalf" ... says the man who invented getting indignant on other people's behalf.

I wonder would he have got back into RTE in 2014 if Dee Forbes was Director General then.I doubt it.

The mind boggles. He should be struggling to get a part time job on community radio, let alone getting half a million from RTE. No wonder they're broke.

Remember all, Spring forward tonight.

Lowest common denominator twaddle so. I won't be spending my reduced hour watching that.

sligojoek

Just saw him doing his promo. He's not as cheerful as he usually is.

Weather forecast followed by three RTE ads. Darcy, Mrs Browne and BoCs Cutting edge.

Two paying ads including RSA

And another for DWTS,then Francis Brennan's At your Service, On the Farm and Would you Believe.

Harry Angstrom

Anyone notice that there's 3 different brands of tea on Mrs Brown's counter? Either she's a huge consumer of tea or the programme makers are getting a few quid from product placement.

Lady Chatterton

Mrs Brown certainly wants to keep in with all the Irish Tea companies - she has Barrys, Lyons & Bewleys in her kitchen :eek:

Probably extra running time on RTE for adverts?

Woodville56

And RTÉ want to increase the licence to regurgitate more of this Mrs Brown rubbish ? More puke television as Pat Spillane might say !

Icsics

Jeez it's as bad as Ray!

Lady Chatterton

The Irish Wax Work museum is priceless, the wax models are shockingly poor. Check out Eamon Dunphy and his buddy.

Didn't think Saturday night on RTÉ 1 could get worse - it just did

TheRiverman

It's worse than awful:eek:

Lady Chatterton

This chatshow is sh1te so I think we should play a game of spot what Irish products Mrs. Brown has in her kitchen instead....

This is all over the place.

Which is the real one?

Cazale

Mammy of the week. I'd hate to see the segments they rejected as being no good.

Lady Chatterton

This is soooooooooooooooooooooo awful, I feel it might actually be a relief when D'arcy starts.

Icsics

Jeez it's as bad as Ray!

TheRiverman

Don't forget the licence is great value at 40 cent per day:rolleyes:

Harry Angstrom

Even Kenneth Williams would be embarrassed by the amount of times Mrs Brown has mentioned her box.

Lady Chatterton

I bet Ray is gutted that Mrs Brown doesn't have some of this in her kitchen...........

Harry Angstrom

That reminds me - I must buy some Odlums flour tomorrow.

Anyone remember these vans? Used to deliver JMO'B bread to your door along with lovely cakes?

I never thought I'd be sorry the Ray Darcy show was an hour late.

This is pure tripe.

Has Joe Duffeh's buke appeared on a shelf in the background yet? :pac:

(I refuse to watch, but I'll be here for Ray - can't believe I said that )

It's probably RTE's way of telling us posters to put up or shut up:D
