We know Ray doesn't deserve a puppeh on the thread, but he's had a tough week...especially at the Ploughing :pac:

PUPPEH!






Derry Girls star Siobhan McSweeney will join Ray on the couch to chat about her role as the hilarious and iconic Sister Michael.

Kym Marsh will join Ray to discuss her upcoming role in 'ELF – A Christmas Spectacular' at the 3Arena.

RTÉ rugby panellists Bernard Jackman and Stephen Ferris will lineout in studio with Ray to tackle the latest updates from Japan ahead of Ireland’s opening game.

Welsh author, singer, songwriter and BBC Radio 2 DJ Cerys Matthews from Catatonia will be joining Ray. She’ll be talking about her latest venture into cookery books.

Wedding planners to the stars, Tara Fay and Bruce Russell join Ray to tell him all about their latest TV project.

'The Ray D’Arcy Show' on RTÉ One at 9.55pm.

Thank you Welsh Megaman for starting this thread.

I like Cerys Matthews, I have no idea what brings her on to this show but I'm glad she's here.

The Derry Girls Nun is usually good value on these shows too.

I look forward to hearing stories from anyone who has worked with Kym Marsh, not looking at anyone in particular.

SEPT 23 1989

Cookery bukes?

Songs is what you should be writing

On September 18th 1997 there was a Devolution Referendum in Wales (Yes won by the thinnest of whiskers)

Cerys Matthews appeared on a debate on S4C late that night with lots of other Welsh people including Weathergirl Sian Lloyd (who was later dumped by Liberal Democrat MP Lembit Opik for one of the Cheeky Girls)

One of S4C's finest Miriam O'Callaghans asked Cerys a detailed question about Devolution. To win a £10 bet Cerys replied "whos ffycin Sian Lloyd?" which you don't need me to tell you is "Who's ****ing Sian Lloyd?" in Welsh

Cerys was banned from S4C for life, although she has been let back since and has done lots of shows on that station.

I may break my boycott of The Ray D'Arcy Show just to poke fun.

Also, I want to win the competition, so I have a torch, a candle and a prophylactic on the table in right in front of me for when we do the family house object search game.

Atlantic Dawn

Starting at 9.55pm because Mrs Brownes Boys is on (2nd time this episode has been repeated) before it.

I know AD, RTE already have my letter of complaint.

"Dear Sir,

I would like to complain about The Ray Darcy Show being pushed forward to 9.55PM so that Mrs Browne's Boys can be put on right after the news. The Ray D'arcy Show should never be given any time slot on any TV channel at all because it is a steaming pile of horse manure.

Yours,
Disgruntled Viewer"

Will Ray mention that he played a bit of rugby, and ask Stephen Ferris what height he is?

P.S. Leave Lyric alone, you shower of pillocks.

I don't think I'll be watching tonight. There's a festival of sorts on in the village at the minute. A good mate of mine is drumming with a band in the local so I might mosey on down.

Not Darcy show related but I know some of you will like this. I was speaking to an eminent professor in the pub last night. He comes here for this thing every year. I mentioned that I heard him on with PBH on Drivetime a few months ago. He threw his eyes to heaven an muttered under his breath, "That f***kin **** ***** ". He was called away before I got him to elaborate. Hopefully he'll be there again tonight.

On the subject of drummers. My good mate Brendan, who drove Sinead O Connor to Thurles last night had Brian Downey and Eric Bell on board for the same venue tonight.

Welsh Megaman

Evening all

Looks like there's a 'rarebit' of Welsh celebrity on the show tonight.



Rarebit.


Suit yourselves.

On the subject of RTE, can I draw attention to what appears to be a legit campaign to dumb everything down and turn it into ITV (where you can call a random person off the street a celebrity, and then carry on as if it's true, even though the word celebrity is clearly related to celebrated, which means you are lying f*ckers), I see we have another example of the dreadful recent RTE trend of calling anything at all "iconic".

The nun from Derry Girls is iconic? Right up there with The Beatles and Grace f*ckin Kelly.

Gah.

I'm narky tonight.

Are you sure it wasn't Tubridy he was on with :pac:

This Mrs Brown ****e never seems to end

It goes on and on ...

I've heard gossip that Kym Marsh's appearance in the Elf musical is very good.

But then again, it could just be Hear'say.





Thank you, I'm here all week! Try the special!

Keep the last friday of the month free, material like that can be beneficial on a certain radio show

IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT, AND WE'RE...LOIVE ON DE TELLY!

"And also tonight, we have Dee Wall who I met at the Ploughing Match ..."

Welsh Megaman

Ray credits her as 'Cerys Matthews from Catatonia'.



As if they didn't split up about 18 years ago.

Rock Lesnar

Is there music playing in the background, very professional

Yer Da sells Avon

"The whole nation" is excited about the match, apparently.

The arrogance of rugby people never fails to amuse me.

She should come out and say "Hi Ray D'Arcy from the f**king Den".

Atlantic Dawn

How much would each cardboard cutout have cost €100?

Welsh Megaman

Would be funny if Bernard said ''What do you care Ray, you said you're ashamed to be Irish...yet you take 450,000 euro from the taxpayer...''

Pity he wouldn't run behind the curtain now and stay there for the rest of the show.

Less than bringing the actual players to the studio. More personality too.

Welsh Megaman

Hell of a try from Stockdale, in fairness.

I've a feeling the team will completely fall on its arse and we will lose tomorrow to Scotland.

This Jacob Stockdale chap is the first famous Stockdale I remember since Admiral Stockdale, Ross Perot's wacky sidekick Vice President running mate in the 1992 US Elections

That iconic introduction once again.

That story was a real viewer grabber, nobody switching off now

Who built that horrible dressing table of money?

Ugly carbuncle.

You display money in vaults. Or Briefcases.

I've got Georgia on my mind.

Say Your Number

"You'll go very far. but you won't be liked"

One of the best lines from the show.

glenfieldman

If them 3 boxes were full of €50s I think Daniel K would be happy to have that in his pile

Skid X

Eh, not Ireland's most famous Nun

Sister Assumpta from Pajo's Junkbox didn't die in vain

Ally Dick

Who's the heifer?

Atlantic Dawn

Being a nun must be a proper pain in the hole, at least if you are a priest you can work the altar.

Welsh Megaman

Why do you have to remind us of her role in 'Derry Girls'?


I thought she was 'iconic'. :pac:

No interest in rugby at all but each to their own. If someone doesn't like hurling it's no skin off my nose.
In my local in Sligo town the owner and a few lads are big into it. If the time suits, myself and another lad go in for the second half and cheer the opposing team. Best crack is when England beat us.

Mental Mickey

Zzzzzzz

Welsh Megaman

'Derry Girls' made considerably better by the appearance of Kevin 'Tyrone Man' McAleer.

RTE not even showing the England game tomorrow

She comes across well ...

Ray still comes across as a terrible host and interviewer.

Atlantic Dawn

I think she has sampled the green room heavily.
