Here's the line-up - here's hoping P&R will be the best they were, when they were the best.

Not holding out hope though.

On the other hand, Mammy O' Rourke should be very watchable.

On a serious note, -91-year-old Holocaust survivor Dr. Edith Eger - if not watching, record it just for this interview

Podge & Rodge, who make their return to Irish TV this Monday night after an eight-year hiatus, will join host Ray D’Arcy this Saturday night to introduce their new co-host, Doireann Garrihy.

Also appearing on this Saturday’s Ray D’Arcy Show will be solo sailor Gregor McGuckin, who arrived home to a hero's welcome this week, after his attempt to become the first Irish man to sail non-stop around the world.

He joins Ray to talk about his journey, which ended when he lost both of his masts during a violent southern ocean storm.

The doctors of doom will see you now . . .
Nine-year-old Lucy Harrington is one of Ireland's youngest award-winning sheep farmers and she joins Ray with her All-Ireland champion lambs and prize-winning hoggets.

Political stalwarts and former ministers Mary O'Rourke, Gemma Hussey and Niamh Bhreathnach will be in studio to talk about claims of sexism in the Dáil and why only 19 of 200 senior ministers in Ireland have been women.

Martina Fitzgerald
All three feature in Martina Fitzgerald's new book Madam Politician, which made headlines this week when it emerged Charlie Haughey pulled on Gemma Hussey's bra strap during a Dáil debate.

And 91-year-old Holocaust survivor Dr. Edith Eger joins Ray to talk about how she learnt how to 'find joy within' after the horror of Auschwitz and to discuss her Irish number one selling book, The Choice.

There'll be music from Maria Byrne, with her stirring take of the Genesis classic, Follow You, Follow Me.
