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

    They did, Shirley

    Imagine if you will, Barry Murphy chairing a topical news quiz with Kevin Myers and Mario Rosenstock as hosts with one guest each on their team

    You've just imagined RTE1's 2010 just one series never recommissioned Have I Got News For You? unwatchable clone 'That's All We Have Time For'

    There was also a Dermot Morgan topical news quiz called 'Newshounds' which never made it to air

    Okay, they are flawed but for the lightsaber battles alone they far better than watching Rey and Kylo just talking to each other

    Watched that ZZ Top doc on Netflix, doesn't give an in-depth look at the band but it was fun nonetheless.

    You can say whatever you want, and I'll just say Jar Jar Binks, and that wins any discussion about crapness.

    The RTE introducer should be censored,
    saying ‘till death us do part’ before the start of ‘A star is born’ what a spoiler.

    The intro for Home Alone 2 mentioned something about Macaulay Culkin "at the height of his career" in the movie, talk about damning with praise.

    Just looked at the Young Offenders Christmas Special. It's basically just a load of the f word stringed out with whatever they can think of at lthe last minute to get funded by RTE. Mrs Browns Special was worse. DIdn't last 10 minutes.

    Decent lineup, but I find Acaster painfully unfunny and annoying

    Saw The Busk. Could look at Lisa Hannigan all day but she has no voice at all. She acknowledged this on the programme about busking. But I've seen her before on stage on t.v. and she just can't get any sound going at all. Couldn't imagine paying a cent to listen to her. But what a beauty.

    I hadn't seen this before, he has Pat down to a T "but it's not a military toy, not properly camouflaged, leaving your Action Men exposed surely...".

    I hope RTE rerun Savage Eye, doesn't appear to be on DVD or on the RTE Player...

    I loved ‘The Tube’ - so many big big names and performances, The Jam’s final TV appearance, Frankie Goes To Hollywood’s debut.
