    The theme of Friday night’s show is
    The Wonderful World of Roald Dahl. The opening number is based on one of the favourite books by the late children’s author, Fantastic Mr Fox, the tale of the crafty fox who outsmarts the dim-witted farmers and eats all their chickens.


    TOMORROW NIGHT, 9.35PM!

    That thread was started in midsummer. The official Late Late Toy Show Megathread™ should only ever be started on Late Late Toy Show Eve.

    I hope it won't end up full of AH-style comments like that when the 'outsiders' descend from AH.

    I think I will give it a watch only because I think this could be the death nail in his RTE career
    All Toy Shows from Gaybos time was the live audience of dressed up, drunk adults and the participation of the Billy Barry kids and strange kids demonstrating the non working toys.
    With this virtual guests and very few kids I think Tubs will be found out as the amateur he is

    Whatever happens, it will be hailed as a success. Noel Kelly has already written the articles for the meeja.

    This thread, however, will be fandabidozi.

    Hi,
    I know The Toy Show is repeated on Saturday but why is it on so late on Friday evening? It doesn't end until 11:55pm, even for a 12 or 13 year old that's too late. Give me 1 good reason why it shouldn't start at 8pm....

    He should leave any mention of the pandemic outside the studio door for this but the miserable bollocks wont be able to resist.

    I don't watch, but it irritates me that Tubridy makes the Toy Show all about himself.

    I can only imagine what he will be like this year. :rolleyes:

    Why is everyone so downcast?

    I live in New Zealand and love showing my daughter the magic of our Toy Show. She's 5, and she loves it!. It's something unique to Ireland. Appreciate it, lads!

    Looking forward to it this year. My granda had a mini-stroke the night of it last year and I had to rush to Naas and missed it.

    Happy to say he's still here, in good form & hoping to see him at a social distance. Think toy show will always remind me of 2019.

    Just caught him on with Maura and Daithi..."we need the Toy Show this year"..."harnessing kindness"..."kindness is contagious" etc., etc.

    He seems to see this as some kind of metaphysical event that the country needs to help us understand and cope with our lives in the year that "the thing" (his term) happened. No Tubridy, it's just a f**king TV show....no more, no less.

    I don't think I can even bring myself to watch for the craic at seeing such a deluded individual make a show of himself. But I suppose (young) kids will enjoy it.

    Yet possibly the most watched. With all the pubs closed, this'll get well over a million viewers.

    My neighbour is reading Matilda by Roald Dahl with her pet rabbit at the moment. I wonder if it's a coincidence or was there an inside job with RTÉ. BOOKS!

    Every year I try to watch this on the RTE player and every year it craps out. What are the chances that it's actually gonna work tonight? Coz I'm not optomistic.

    Am I the only parent who wishes that for this one night the LLS would start a bit earlier?

    Maybe start it at 8?

    Starting at 935 means young kids are not getting into bed until midnight nearly, and then they are tired for days after it.

    Anyone watching the "Singalong" showing Tubs' opening performances over the years? He held that note long in "Greatest Showman" (the show without a glimmer of Christmas when they were trying to cancel the C-word out of the season.)

    Are the billy barries still a “thing”? Have they been on the show in the last ten years even?

    It's not (primarily) for kids. Also, it's always been repeated on the following Sunday afternoon.
