Wham! star Andrew Ridgeley joins Ray to talk about his lifelong friendship with George Michael. He’ll give the inside story on how the legendary pop duo changed eighties music and became one of the biggest bands in history.

Anna Geary and Mairead Ronan join Ray ahead of the return of 'Ireland’s Fittest Family' to screens this Sunday.

From growing up in rural Ardboe to joining the London Literati, Polly Devlin tells Ray about interviewing some of the most famous people in the world.

For the 2nd year running, Ray is hosting Ireland’s Next Top Madra, which is on the hunt to find the country’s prettiest pooches.

And finally, 240 singers and musicians join Ray for a special performance of 'Hey Day' by Mic Christopher in honour of the late star’s 50th Birthday.

'The Ray D’Arcy Show' at9.45 pm on RTÉ One.

Happy Christmas.

Anna Gearys about the best reason to watch this. Andrew Ridgeley is actually alright, but you can just imagine how akward it will be when Fr Ray starts brown noseing and his silly laugh, Cringe time

Anna got married recently.
To a man.
Ya mustn’t be allowed to get married to yourself.

Could Ray have a bat that flies in or some gimic "We are live on the tele" is kind of well crap.

Atlantic Dawn

Will Mairead and Ray have a cat fight?

lola85

He needs to go back to toady FM with Mairead and realise that’s his level.

Andrew00

Cannot get enough of Anna Geary she's out of this world. Will have to grab the roll of tissue yet again.

Mairead Ronan is amazing as well

I'd like to see a rematch of her and Gráinne Seoige

Nice

My cat’s found himself a cosy position snuggled up against my arm, to watch the doggy beauty show. Can’t move said arm, it’s delegated to the dual tasks of holding iPhone and cat’s backrest.

Atlantic Dawn

Grainne needs to come back from her diamond mine.

Pity muireann o Connell has gone

Welsh Megaman

Welsh Megaman

Fun and sunshine, there's enough for everyone...


Ray: "So how did you feel when you heard that George had died?"

Ol' Donie

Mairead is dressed like an inmate in a jail for Abba fans.

Which, when I'm elected, is on it's way.

She's still on weekdays at 6pm on TV3 should you have withdrawal symptoms

Sure I think she would be great as The Late Late show host.

Not mad about what Mairad was wearing all but Anna looked good.

Christ that was like getting stuck beside them on a train talking about their sh!te that nobody cares about.

Ol' Donie

Groan and groan indeed.

1) When The Saturday Night Show was cancelled Brendan O'Connor revealed he had a contract to present a minimum amount of RTE shows. That's why Brenda O'Connor's Cutting Edge went on air. In all probability Ray Darcy has a similar contract

2) Brendan O'Connor's 2 cancelled shoes are The Saturday Night Show, Cutting Edge and Brendan O'Connor's Time Out (that brief Summer filler where he interviewed Beebrock Legend Nile Rodgers and others)

3) RTE have done 5 pilot shows for new chat shows all with female hosts

5) Tommy Tiernan is coming back with a 10 show commission on Saturday Nights after Christmas (replacing this)

Why is Rays desk positioned completely orseways? And a little bedside locker the other side..

BorneTobyWilde

Too many dogs

Lisha

Doggies love them

Welsh Megaman

POOCHEHS!

Lisha

Bernese mountain dogs are gorge

Welsh Megaman

Ray laughs, but he knows the dog would do a far better job presenting a radio show.

Lisha

That sheep dog had the most beautiful set of dainty legs!

Ol' Donie

Dog shows are bizarre.

Obviously everyone involved is a dog lover, so it's pretty mad that at the end they give a prize to one dog for being better than all the others.

Ol' Donie

Congratulations to Ray and his cue card writers for making a segment about dogs intolerable.

They should all get prizes!

ITV had a series like this in 1988 called Thats My Dog

30 minutes of dog games and competitions every week

The critics hated it but I loved it

Ol' Donie

A year's supply of dog food, and a years supply of bags to pick up all the doodles.

Atlantic Dawn

Is there a competing competition for cats 'Ireland's Next Top Pussy'?

Cat has now got down and sitting right under the telly looking at it and flicking tail furiously.
