    I don't get it, they pay the lady 200k per year but put her show on an after 10.30pm graveyard slot while at the same time they broadcast repeats in the 9.30pm slot.

    She follows either the monthly Crime Call or an RTÉ social documentry which the programme sometimes refers back to.

    In terms of repeats in that slot, purely RTÉ like a good repeat.

    Just to note, there was not originally intended to be a repeat at 9:30pm. Earlier listings had an RTE Investigates documentary on the District Court scheduled in that slot. For whatever reason it was substituted for the repeat after most listings had gone to press.

    If you're talking about RTE timing, why do they have my kids of 4, 6 and 8 up at midnight watching the Toy Show?

    It knocked their clocks off for days, they were more crabbit than usual.

    Why do you let your kids stay up? It's tradition!

    Because they seem to not realise how good she is.
    It's almost being set up to fail with poor production values and general lack of focus.

    I always thought it was to take out Vin B's audience.

    No they always seemed to move their Monday Night Current Affairs show. Q&A was on earlier at one stage and then moved, Frontline was also on at 9:35 for a while before being moved, Prime Time was also earlier and then move and the same for Claire Byrne Live.

    10:35 p.m. isn't unduly late, in all fairness.
