The Late Late Show Friday 6th April

A bit of a yawn line up for me tonight- I'll probably be giving it a miss.

but HAY, it's the weekend so have fun.





There's quite a sporty theme to this week's edition of The Late Late Show on RTÉ One.

Joining Ryan Tubridy are horseracing legends Ruby, Katie and Ted Walsh. It'll be their first joint television interview since Ruby’s unfortunate fall at Cheltenham.

Ruby will tell viewers about the frustration of falling and breaking his leg so soon after getting back in the saddle and Ted will reveal how it felt as a parent to see it happen.

Katie will recall what it was like to race to victory later that day, with her brother’s condition foremost in her mind. And we’ll be finding out if Katie fancies her chances of becoming the first woman to win the Grand National at Aintree.

Outspoken pundit Joe Brolly joins host Ryan Tubridy to discuss everything from the upcoming GAA Championship and working as an advocate for cystic fibrosis patients; to growing up in Northern Ireland during the height of Troubles and the impact that seeing his father interned had on him.

With Ireland’s hopes at Eurovision victory resting on his shoulders, Ryan O’Shaughnessy will be in studio to chat about heading to Lisbon for this year’s contest and the controversy around the Russian take on the video for his entry Together. Plus he'll be performing the song on television for the first time.

Rachel Moran was coerced into prostitution in her early teens and spent seven years in the Dublin sex trade. She campaigned strongly for a new law, brought in last year, to criminalise the buying of sex. On Friday night she will discuss why she believes a failure to fully enforce this new law is making the sex trade more dangerous.

Ryan will meet some of the people whose objects caught the eye of the curators on National Treasures, the new TV show and exhibition telling the story of Ireland over the last century through the ordinary objects treasured by families up and down the country. He will be hearing some of the stories behind these objects and what they reveal about the Irish.

Dermot Higgins will also be in studio as he celebrates becoming, at 55-years-old, the oldest person ever to travel around the world by bicycle.

James Brown

There is nothing worth watching in that.

I liked when the Eurovision was an all comers, write a song, take you chance competition. Now it's clinical and no offence to the lad, but a bland affair.

Ol' Donie

Horsey racing people? Again? Wow.

Room 101 is on at half 8. I wonder if someone picked LLS guest lists - you know, the canteen people, the sick people, the constant tide of fake country music people - would Frank Skinner not believe them that such nonsense exists in the first place?

Evening all. Missed you all last week. I was in the deep South (Tipperary) drinking with great gusto.

That Walsh story was all over the radio for days after it happened. You'd think Ruby had died or something.

Hmm, that is a conundurum

But I would just like to point out that Frank Skinner will be starring as Johnny Cash in 'Johnny Cash and the Ostrich' on Sky Arts on a few weeks

Their childrens allowance must have been like a big win at the bookies each month.

Pinch Flat

Jaysus prime time telly and interviewing a 90 year old woman with 19 kids. Sure where else would you get it?

Atlantic Dawn

None of your homelessness then, just give a man the blocks and he built his own gaff.

corcaigh1

Ages 47 to 67. So that is pretty much a child a year for 19 years??

The Talking Bread

Atlantic Dawn

Would have been great if you were ever in a row, the brothers would have been able to sort out any rival family.

No, a 90 year old woman does not deserve to be called a slag.

You don't get it............. you don't get the context of the comment.

Let me make it clear, I do not think anything negative about the woman, I was joking at the SITUATION. Tongue in cheek

Now go get faux outraged elsewhere because I am not bothered with your pedantic morals

I bet there's someone at home who has more kids ringing in to lay claim to the title.

Nah, every time you disagree with someone you go on a tirade.

But I'm entitled to my opinion, your comment was well out of order.

Atlantic Dawn

A snowflake factory is what the schools have become.

Welsh Megaman

Didn't know Tim Robbins was going to be on.

We will pay for our water and then create a company costing billions to pay for our water a 2nd time.

Ah Joe i was looking forward to this and you've fell into the rte trump trap and ruined it already with a dig about trump
