I don't get the love for "The Death Of Stalin", I struggled to watch it through

I remember when it used to be on RTE and Channel 4. Fuck Sky anyway, the c*tton h*aded n*nny-m*ggin' bastards.

If anyone felt their spidey senses tingling its probably because Spiderman Homecoming is on BBC at 7:55pm

If I pass any busker performing a Bob Dylan song, I must hurt them.



I don’t want to, I feel like I owe it to them.

The “paddy raff” Christmas show on bbc2 at moment

Kind of a comedy sketch show. Never heard of him, it’s not bad though.

‘Heyday’ - class

I am looking forward to 'Laochra Thar Lear' on TG4 on Wednesday at 9.15pm, it's about Ireland's early Olympic heroes

Also, someone needs to make a movie about Peter O'Toole's flag antics at the 1906 Athens Intercalated Olympics


https://olympics.ie/laochra-thar-lear-tg4-olympic-feature/

One of the stars of Ireland’s Olympic story is Wicklow man Peter O’Connor, who won acclaim not only for being the best long jumper of his age, but for making the first ever political protest at an Olympic Games. O’Connor climbed the flagpole at his Athens award ceremony in 1906, removed the British flag and unfurled the Irish flag, to the amazement of spectators and dignitaries.

‘Paddington 2’ on BBC One at 4.15pm - Hugh Grant’s best performance!

‘Gremlins’ on Sky One at 9.45pm - Gizmo’s best performance!

The 2 Johnnies Christmas Spectacular on RTE Two tonight at 10.15pm.

I assume they’re like The Two Ronnies, only more x-rated.

PTH2009

Pretty disappointing schedule on Sky Arts and BBC4 this year. Used to be always good for concerts and music documentaries

The Dubliners thing on TG4 tomorrow night should be decent

Say new years eve will be a blu ray concert and a few cans

Watching The Last Jedi, the Star Wars sequel trilogy is just awful even worse than the prequels. Laura Dern as an admiral is just unconvincing, should got someone like Sigourney Weaver be fair more convincing

Bill Ponderosa

Father Ted Christmas special coming up, I've already watched it twice this week but will have to give it another watch.

Will take a look at the two Johnny's and see what they're upto tonight.

Yeah, think Una Healy is on so can't resist that!

Ray Donovan

30 years highlights show of Have I Got News For You at 10:15. Should be decent.

Please let them have the clips of the 2 boys destroying Aengus Dayton!!

I flicked on "ABBA Christmas Party" thinking it was ABBA performing because ABBA are the best pop group to have existed, to my horror I witnessed Nadine Coyle butchering Voulez Vous

Have RTE ever attempted a ‘HIGNFY’-type show?

The Panel is possibly the closest thing which had a few moments.

I feel old after watching that HIGNFY look back. It was a staple at one point for me but not something I have watched in years. Got a few lol moments there.
