'Only you Miriam could have a husband working away all week and not have a problem with it'

Even though Miriam has her knockers she is popular with a lot of people

RTE make her out to be some kind of national institution.
She can do the misery stuff that RTE is so fond of with her concerned voice,otherwise useless.

I heard the "Exciting" news is that everyone in the audience is getting their TV Licence for free for life.

Meanwhile, it's being raised to €200 a year for everyone else.

I'm so excited.

Tubbers is bringing the Late Late on tour.

1st stop is Rockall

Off on a junket to London, it seems.

In contrast to the absolute drivel RTE subject us to, I will say that Reeling In The Years is a good show to watch, it's one of the better shows RTE do and strangely it has no presenters....

70's, 80's & 90's is excellent, 00's not so much, too much about Westlife & RTE 'celebrities'.

All expenses for himself and his crew. This is the big change they were on about.

I know I started this thread giving out about RTE

But I do like Miriam. She has 8 kids, she doesn't sound like a typical D4 person to me. I don't know any D4 type people that have that many kids

I suppose compared to that woman in the with the 7 kinds in the Garda station, she's a godsend...didn't go looking for handouts, and more than likely wanted her kids.

This all over. Her vs Pat Kenny during the the abortion referendum was cringe worthy. And on prime time she is pretty much next to useless with any debates.

Why the hell is she all over the news sites

If you wanted cringe, you only had to look at Claire Byrne's abortion debate. Disaster would be the politest term you could use to describe her efforts.
Embarassing would be another polite term you could use.
I'd be banned from the internet for the words I would use to describe it.

Amy Huberman gets yet another vehicle to promote herself basically, as well as a writing credit (ching ching) for her comedy. If it's one thing RTE certainly know how to make (a balls of) it's comedy.
.

Everything Huberman touches in the comedy space turns out to be a flop. Cant Cope Wont Cope, Threesome, Chasing Leprechauns, all flops. Also she has being going to LA for pilot season for almost eight years now and still has not landed a role. The closest she came was when she did a pilot and the show got commissioned but the director dropped her and cast a different actress instead. Her acting career has not been a success but not to worry about that when you always have RTE ready with a blank chequebook to splash out on mediocrity :rolleyes:

I suppose we should be grateful 'Nowhere Fast' went nowhere....fast.
No season two commissioned.

Speaking of flops, what is with RTE trying to make Laura Whitmore a thing? She's in two or three shows, including Huberman's stuff. She's not an actress, she's got no personality. Who hires these people?

I know it's from the Irish Sun but Tubridy has apparently said yes to increasing the licence fee.

https://www.thesun.ie/tvandshowbiz/tv/2993732/ryan-tubridy-tv-licence-fee-rte-new-season/

I love how they have it figured out how much they think they should be getting from it.

I wouldn't mind but all this talk of fees when splurging on a trip to the UK, a country who at the moment is looking to bend us over.

The reason they aren't going after the TV license at this time is simple, the government raise it or change it to have a charge on all computers ect and there will be uproar.

The "new line up" same as the old line up
Podge and Rodge are back though.



https://www.breakingnews.ie/showbiz/new-drama-and-old-favourites-in-the-mix-as-rte-reveal-new-season-line-up-862659.html

I'd be embarassed to offer this as a 'new' lineup-it's incredibly poor. Podge and Rodge's guests will just be 'was on Celeb Big Brother/ Love Island/ Strictly or Dancing with the Stars etc'.

Amy Huberman's show will get maybe two seasons, and done. And the rest...

How can you justify a license increase based on this drivel? Get lost, RTE, ya idjits.

I’ll say it again, people are morons if they are paying this license fee ...
