Rte are lucky we have a pandemic upon us, it's providing plenty of material for the show the last few weeks, and no doubt will for many more months.

another downside of the corona-virus -> keeping the RTE disease alive for longer unfortunately with all this extra local attention due to the inward focus of the situation.

This weeks lesson should be how to make sanitizer gel from every day household goods.

Surely Tubs could get some better guests for skype chats

Lets bombard RTE asking that they show full Late Late Shows adds and all that featured Gay Byrne from years past, way more interesting than Tubridy

Late Late Show Special: Misery edition

Atlantic Dawn

I presume being the national broadcaster the picture quality on these Skype interview sessions will be better than I can reproduce on a €400 laptop running off a Tesco 4G SIM?

Surely what the country needs tonight instead of the late late is a good movie to forget about Corona virus for a few hours....

Tis far, far from the worst guest list we've ever seen.

The best we can hope for is an internet meltdown

So no chance of a light entertainment show where the country can forget all about death and economic destruction for a few hours

Completely agree with you can RTE not realise that we all need a break and put on something that we can enjoy , it's gone so bad guys I work with are avoiding news on Radio and TV

Tonight we have Skype.

Next week: The LLS will look like the time Krusty did an Emergency Broadcast from a Secret Bunker after Sideshow Bob threatened to destroy Springfield with a Nuclear Bomb unless all TV was cancelled

PsychoPete

Why is it when anyone does a skype interview on rte they use an internet connection from 2004

Are you joking? I'd rather lick the soles of the feet of someone with COVID19 than listen to Daniel and Majella O'Donnell.

Paschal, Daniel and Majella!

Just put it to sleep. Please.

Rte and Skype.
What could possibly go wrong.

Atlantic Dawn

The 300 Gardai only a few weeks in to training getting swarn in today reminded me a little of "Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol", long may it continue, on the job learning is best.

Likely last as he's the main guest.

Nothing against Sharon.
But I’d rather hear from Jim at this time of crisis.

Good that suits me big time. I dont mind missing the last 8 minutes.

SEPT 23 1989

It's like 1986 Albanian TV

All that's missing is a well dressed general festuned with medals as the first guest

Seriously TV licence ad.........

Vorenus400

great Irish film after starting on rte2.

'I Went Down'

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0126344/

Early Brendan Gleeson film, hard to find and never seen it released on dvd. The picture is definitely 90s tv quality

SEPT 23 1989

Did he get dressed in the dark?

Skid X

If things get bad I'm going to report back on this 36 minute interview with Boycey from Only Fools And Horses on a Serbian Talk Show

Gods Gift

We know Ryan.

So cheer us all up.

Jesus, when he came out and stared talking i thought he was going to cry

Atlantic Dawn

We should be taking over manufacturing plants to get them to make more ventilators and lash together rough setups in empty hotels to treat people.

When is Dermot Bannon on?

Tubs about to break into

"And if a Double Decker Bus, kills the both of us

To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die ..."

Fcuk off Ryan

Atlantic Dawn

Ffs, it's like an intro to Dr Phil.

He's nailed himself into his expensive new gap. He may appear on skype from the bath that sits in his garden.

paleoperson

oh **** we get it, we don't need a big lecture. Come on. A few words would be grand, not a big, patronizing speech.

Sir Oxman

The weekly TV lecture.
Buzz off and entertain the fckin country instead

Tubs is having the time of his life, never so much misery in the world
