What program would you axe off RTE from an After Hours prospective?

You'd have to be absolutely painful in the first place to enter Ireland's Fittest Family.

Reeling in the Years. Enough already.

How often has this bloody thing been repeated? I don't know how many times I've seen Charlie Haughey and the arms trial. It's been done to death. Time to rest it.

Yet in our house it has new fans in our children aged 22 and 16. They like watching it and asking questions about the black and white days, or events they may of heard about. It's a good opportunity for me to sit back and tell my stories of life in the olden days

Events in 'The North' are of particular interest since they view Belfast as a cool place to visit and are largely unaware of 'The Troubles'. It's interesting to see their reactions to the very recent history of a place just 130 miles up the road from where they live. School doesn't appear to have told them much about it all.

Why continue to watch programs, if you know you don't like them!

Painful, as in painfully healthy, fit and competitive?

What's the problem?

Who are the role models for girls?

Donnacha?

That granny who could bate anyone out the door at hang tough?

Kathryn?

The fit and healthy teenage girls who show how they outdo their brothers, their dads and their mams in physical activities.

Operation Transformation. I'm no fan of fat people, and I would never promote obesity, but that programme is just exploitative.

And worse than that, they still insist on using stones and pounds instead of kgs.

Might not be targeted at your demographic but
Nationwide is hugely loved and watched all over the country. Made for buttons too I'd say.

A friend called to her granny's house one evening last week. Granny came to door, said 'Nationwide is on' with a horrified look on her face and shut the door, leaving the visitors outside.

Claire Byrne Live. Terrible presenter. They should get rid of her and give Vincent Browne a weekly current affairs programme where he just sits there sighing and grunting for an hour.

You could be onto something there. Vincent was a bit much four nights a week, but once a week could be interesting with the current generation of pols.

The Rose of Tralee. Hard to believe that it's 2019 and the 'lovely girls' competition is still going strong.

Any reality tv show

or a show hosted by Vogue/influencer "star"

But RTE only needs one chat show, no need for D'Arcy, Cutting Edge etc and just use the LLS and have Tommy Tiernan host it in the style/format he does his chat show

04-08-2019 10:26AM

If the Late Late Show went back to having truly controversial guests as it did in the past - for example the modern equivalent of Annie Murphy as a guest would be someone who is staunchly anti abortion - that recent UCD president whose name escapes me - and give her a proper grilling. Or have some feminist on and actually argue with something she says nd ask the hard questions - like why are there almost no men anymore on RTE news.

Or have relevant guests on, someone like Tim Ferriss for example. Then it could be a good show. As it stands it's a pile of horse manure.

Good suggestion.

i know its not a program per se....but The Angelas

i mean in this day & age...we're so suppose to be a modern secular country aren't we?

if you want to pray by all means do it in the privacy of your own home or church...but don't have it as a national broadcast (radio included)

School is incredibly dumbed down now. As long as they learn about the 84 genders it's all grand. You should check out some of the questions on the Junior Cert "Science" paper this year. A 5 year old could answer them.

What school covers 84 genders?

04-08-2019 10:34AM

I think Ireland's Fittest Family is great. It shows how a proper family should work, with each contributing to their strengths instead of all this gender role bull****.

So that didn't happen at all, right? You just threw it in as part of some other agenda that you have going? Is that what's going on here?

Scrap the endless repeats, especially repeats of programmes that are shown 3-4 times in one week.

Typical RTE fodder of repeats...
The Simpsons.
Top Gear.
Big Bang Theory.
Fr Ted (It was good but come on, how old is it now?)

What is the point of RTE +1?
Only applies to RTE1 and only after 6pm.

The Angelus, trying to be a secular country yet we have a call to prayer daily on national tv. What other non theocracy has this?

Winning Streak either needs to be taken off air or have a more interesting format.
Late Late Show needs to be overhauled with less fluff than at present.

DoozerT6 · 04-08-2019 12:42PM

Definitely reality TV in all its guises. Singing, skating, jungling, cooking, islanding, dancing, etc....

It's been done, guys. Over and over and over and over and over and....

TG4 have Mary From Dungloe sewn up so RTE have to follow suit.

Get off your high horse. Its only a minute. Not too much out of your life and a high percentage of people appreciate it.

Silent Running · 05-08-2019 09:48AM

The Thane direct Saturday and Sunday morning "presentations". Selling steam mops on a Saturday morning. RTE's finest hour. :rolleyes:

really

in all honesty how many people out there would actually pray in front of their TV sets?? ....i reckon in these modern times a dwindling few, less than one percent (if any)

But they don't appreciate it enough to get out of bed on a Sunday morning and get into a church to do their praying.

I started watching killing eve on the rte player, that was excellent.

EVERYTHING else on rte is absolute garbage

It is annoying RTE2+1 is time limited but that's the Ministerial permission they got
