At Your Service

BabysCoffee

It's like an episode of serial hoarders

I like the end result.

It's a nice hippy dippy place

It wouldn't be for me at all. Once a hoarder, always a hoarder. As soon as the cameras are gone the old ways will return. I'm not choosey but I'd rate basic tidiness and comfort over 'unique rural charm' every day,

The Tripadvisor reviews are varied, it seems to be a place you either love or hate.

I don't know why they are reshowing stuff from 2009, why not just make a few more RTE, the budget is hardly that big, new suit for FB maybe, and am sure there are plenty of businesses crying out for the help/free advertising

the_pen_turner

they could have at least went back and revisited that place. it would be interesting to see it after all these years

Yeah, it's a bit mad "convince us why you should be considered for this adventure!" and then you still have to cough up €700.

I think the participants had to pay last time too. The closing date on the website is 31 March. I don't think it really worked last time, it'll be interesting to see how it goes this time.

humm interesting, wouldn't be interested in going myself (except if that good looking girl from last time was going again) but will definitely tune in for lots of
"where's Mary, a will ye come on out of that, ye'd be late for your own funeral"

As with Coach Trip and it's host Brendan, Francis will be the one to tune in for....oh and to see if we know anyone

This series is a bizarre mixture of new, revisits, and just plain old repeats. Wish they'd make their minds up!

Although the sight of the two boys on the skewbald ponies, moseying down the drive slagging each other, made up for any irritation I may have had with the producers

It would be much better if they added on 10 mins to show us how they are getting on now. Did you see the state of that roof on the 'gazebo'? How hard would it have been to clean the moss off?

Radio5

Interesting to see that the Grand Tour is back. Going by comments in his most recent book I didn't think Francis would be too keen on it.

From what I read, he felt the group were rushed in going to too many destinations in too short a space of time. Also he wasn't seen too happy with the way programmes were edited and felt they didn't reflect the experience of the entire tour very well.

happyday

Quick turn on The Mario Rosenstock Show. Francis is on and he's only priceless!

happyday

I'm an even bigger fan now! You're a scream Francis !

HeidiHeidi

2what channel???

Eyepatch

It was a repeat, but still very funny. Good man, Francis! Also the episode with Pope Francis was quite funny.

If you like At Your Service, you might like Francis Brennan's new RTE Show, starting next Sunday on RTE1

Here's a thread for it ...

Francis is on Saturday Night with Miriam now.

PeterTheNinth

This is a new one or an old one?

Jasper: "I play the drums. It's a bit of release for me."
Francis: "Well it's cheaper than a psychiatrist"

:pac: You gotta love Francis

amdublin

What was wrong with the terracotta?

PeterTheNinth

The ideal death show. :eek:

Do they provide a ticket to heaven

amdublin

Oh that looks better

amdublin

The colours are good

PeterTheNinth

I'm not sure this is an "At Your Service in the true spirit of the show. It seems like Jasper was blowing a lot of money on doing the place up anyway and wanted to get a bit of promotion. He would have been doing the place up whether Francis arrived or not.

happyday

Did any of you see Francis on the Late Late Show? He has a line of goods with his own brand now. I missed the bit where they said where you can get them. Francis trying to put a duvet cover on a duvet was a scream.
