The Ray D'Arcy Show - 13th. January 2018

Welsh Megaman

As the new series of Operation Transformation kicks off, Ray will chat to the five inspirational people who’ll be leading the country to a healthier 2018…

…The ‘bad boy’ of ballroom, Brendan Cole, will talk to Ray about the ‘Strictly’ curse, his thoughts on Dancing with the Stars and touring Ireland with his stage show – ‘Brendan Cole: All Night Long’.

…And discussing the big issues facing Ireland today, former Supreme Court Judge Catherine McGuinness joins Ray, as she looks back over her life’s work in Irish political, legal and social life.

Ray will also surprise an unsuspecting member of his studio audience and one family in the country will get their five minutes of fame with “Ray’s House Hunt”.

That is pretty pathetic.

Operation Transformation and Dancing with the Stars.

Is there no end to RTEs self promotion?

Great pic WM.

Why does he always have to SHOUT. He has a perfectly good microphone.

Evening all, some jaysus lineup.

Bus bringing the guests over from the canteen.

Hopefully they haven't eaten too much

Who will he make cry first?

Ol' Donie

I would prefer just watch a live feed of that poor lil' puppeh.

Surely he'll cheer up? Maybe when this show gets close to the end?

Icsics

Not bothering to watch this. They're obviously struggling for guests & content. RTE would be better off using the extortionate amount of money this is costing to buy a good film!

Welsh Megaman

Who will Ray challenge to a chin-up contest?

sligojoek

Go on Ray Bollock him over the sugar in the ketchup

I find the running round the house nonsense brings me close to tears any time I see it.

Although tomato sauce on curry? Did I catch that right? Gross! Tears of anger, is that something?

Oh FFS. Operation Transformation!! Jesus. We had DWTS last week. Honestly, i could give a decent stab at what the line up will be the first couple of weeks in January next year as well. Pretty much the same as this and last year.

I'm bailing out, that's a woeful line up. G'luck!!!

I can feel a big power off porridge speech coming ..

Atlantic Dawn

He doesn't look 19 stone at all.

Dead mother. Child with Downs syndrome. Bad accident. Is this Liveline?

Welsh Megaman

Bressie has really let himself go.

He won't. He is going to get the supreme court judge to judge his press ups. It's going to be the highlight of her career.

Border area?

Berserker

Tell them about porridge Ray. Ray won't know anything about these unhealthy foods.

Arghus

Bit of food virtue signalling there from Ray, "what is a... Jambon?"

Den14

Ray or whoever is running this Saturday night slot has transformed what was once fairly decent entertainment under Brendan O Connor into a real cheap fare which feels thrown together without much thought or inspiration.

Ol' Donie

I'm getting really, really sick of this.

If I wanted to know about the people on Operation Transformation I'D WATCH OPERATION TRANSFORMATION!!

Michael Jambon, wasn't he in Harry Potter?

I'll get my coat.

Atlantic Dawn

How much weight could you add on in on a super heavy eating session right before the weigh in?

Atlantic Dawn

Creme Eggs are nice too.

Welsh Megaman

One of the best takeaway chips I have ever had was in Ireland, in Youghal  - can't remember the name of the chipper.

*books ferry crossing*

Atlantic Dawn

It sounds like her parents were to blame for a lot of it.

anthonyjmaher

Evening all.

This reminds me - I meant to order a pizza and a bucket of chicken. Thanks for the reminder RTE.

Welsh Megaman

You know Ray is loving this, taking the moral high ground...I'm healthy, YOU ARE NOT.

Dakota Dan

Operation craperation, that sh1t is getting more ridiculous every year.

Arghus

And not an Autobot in sight.

Atlantic Dawn

Feckin jaysus, I'd leg it now Des off up the N11.

anthonyjmaher

Honestly how can it come as a shock to you. Did you not notice yourself starting to not fit through doors.

anthonyjmaher

Ray doing his best to look like he's just got out of the bed.

sligojoek

Ray mining for tears now.

Welsh Megaman

Morto for Des.

darlett

I did like that quote. "I used to be able to eat lots of the stuff that I like, but now I can only eat a little...of what I don't like!"

Berserker

Where was all this information years ago? Diet is really important. Who would have thought!

Dakota Dan

KT is carrying extra weight this year.

Arghus

This is great isn't it?
