No Place Like Home

Kathryn Thomas and daughter Ellie travel around Ireland for RTÉ, and for our delight and edification.

https://www.thesun.ie/tvandshowbiz/5712267/rte-kathryn-thomas-new-show-ellie-travelling-ireland/

RTE's Kathryn Thomas has teased a new show that involves her and young daughter Ellie travelling around Ireland.

The Operation Transformation host is currently on staycation across the country in a campervan with her two-year-old.

The presenter is known for her travel shows across the world but due to Covid-19 restrictions in place, there'll be no adventure shows abroad to be shown on RTE in the near future.

Kathryn teased the new show called No Place Like Home which is set to air next weekend.

She said: "Good morning from beautiful sunny Cove. Hope all is good. I'm trying to get the steps in before we hit the road again.

"I don't think I actually said to you. The reason that we are on the move is for a new TV show called No Place Like Home which will be going out on RTE from Sunday the 9th of August.

'SO BUSY'

"It's all about staycations so myself and Ellie are touring around in a camper van. Loving the old camper van life, I don't mind telling you.

"We're camping, glamping and we stayed in a hotel last night so it's a mix of everything.

"Anyway that's why I have not been posting daily because we've been so busy but I'll put up a few pics and videos now."

She also showed a kayaking experience in Wexford and stand up paddle boarding and yoga in Waterford.

Kathryn gave her fans a sneak peak inside her camper van on Instagram as well.

The news comes after the Irish Sun revealed this morning that RTE are struggling to fill their Autumn schedule due to coronavirus restrictions.

As a result many of RTE’s most loved shows, including the Tommy Tiernan Show, First Dates and Dancing With The Stars will be missing from our screens.

One RTE insider told us: “Travel shows, dating shows, anything involving choirs, all those sorts of programmes are gone.”

Back on again, bit strange screening a summer travel show with September just a week away

That spot on the Erris peninsula in Mayo looks nice though, one for next summer maybe

Did she lock Ellie in the camper when she was off doing the adult fun stuff on her own.

You think they could have edited it a bit. I turned over when they gave Friday’s announcement from the government.

LOKdown all over again

I cant believe RTE are repeating this show about summer holidays in November. Tune in to get Covid travel advice from June :rolleyes:

Unfortunately due to Covid 2020 is the year of repeats.

Bit of escapism on a dull November evening, you could do worse.

I enjoyed this first time around.

It looks good and our tourism providers could do with a bit of exposure.

Muahahaha

And the need for them to play Westlife tunes during the interview, ffs, they probably had to pay royalties on that too :rolleyes:

I got the impression that Kathryn and Kian might have once been a bit more than just friends

Tonight's show was more like Who Do You Think You Are with Kathryn going back generations to her ancestors who came from the Blasket Islands, her mother, cousin etc. If it's not her family it's her friends that are on the show.:rolleyes:

Honestly, who really cares?

Imagine having to meet up with feckin’ Kian Egan to surf? And why would it be of interest to the general public that Kathryn hadn’t seen Kian “in ages”?

See the hubby got a free holiday too. KT preaching about ‘wellness’ is hard to take

Muahahaha

The band are back singing the same stupid song again! At least this program is the last in the 'series'

Muahahaha

I still dont get what the idea of having a band on to sing the same song over and over again is for

I really enjoyed tonight's show.

I am familiar with all the locations and I thought they were well represented with some lovely film work.

The two Olympians were very good and so natural in front of the camera.

Ireland is a great place to spend a holiday.

Hubby or some other adult must have been there to mind the small one as she’s not in all the scenes...

Having just driven (in a car, not a motor home, TG) along the Mourne Coastal Route and then a good part of the Causeway Coastal Route, there is no way I would attempt the former in a motor home. The roads on the Mourne Coastal Route are simply not up to it, neither condition wise nor width wise. The Causeway route is much better, but having encountered a rather large tractor and (loosely) associated trailer on the first one, coming the other way at top speed, my strong recommendation is don’t do it in a motor home!

Im scratching my head as to how they filmed this. Some scenes have her daughter in it and then others like the interview with Taghd Furlong do not. Does that mean they paid for a full time babysitter to follow them all around Ireland? Or is the husband with them but not on screen and getting a free holiday out of this.

Doubt it. The only ones obsessed with their lives are themselves, nobody else interested, not even red top rags.

Can anyone explain the need for the 'House Band' ?

From the Irish Times review of the programme, this extract might help

For these segments Thomas wears a flowing white dress to indicate, I think, that she’s the Ghost of Holiday Plans Past. And there’s also a nifty house band, The Homebirds, who play country music. This is presumably to warn Dublin-based viewers that they’ll hear nothing else on the radio once they get beyond Bray. To quote an anonymous source in Montrose: “It was this or a clip from Deliverance.”

Is that a banjo I hear?

Not sure what the point is in starting this series now. Schools should hopefully all be back in a few weeks so not much time left for holidays around Ireland unless you've young kids or think your kids need more time off.

On planet rte such practicalities rarely enter consciousness. They’ll be cheerleading keeping the schools closed anyhow so it’ll fit fine.
Must be due a Primetime on the horrors of schools and deadly Covid 19 soon.

Camper vans seem to be the flavour of this unusual summer.

Mores the pity.

The roads are full of these lumbering beasts and their inept drivers.
