This has an 8 week run and will feature '“surprises and unexpected revelations for the guests, as they all agree to be asked, absolutely anything” and more importantly Angela is "“trying to have a house kitten on set (ginger obviously)”.

My AMA question is.....Angela what did you have to do to get a job in RTE ahead of Gerry Ryans kid.

flazio · 24-01-2020 6:54am

They really don't want to put Ray D'Arcy back on TV it seems.

This finally made it to air, The show & angela are already showing how crap the late late show & tubridy are.

Samsgirl · 23-10-2021 10:35pm

In fairness, that's not hard to do. Tubridy is just an imbecile when it comes to interaction with people.

The chat here is just flowing, no cue cards, no misery, no death etc...

Only criticism is that the people in the audience at the tables need some drinks and snacks!

Atlantic Dawn · 23-10-2021 10:36pm

It's not bad for an opening episode, was expecting Martin Compston to be via Zoom, great he was there in person. If only Jim Corr would be allowed on, he would have lots of comment on the current world order, I expect Trump's new social network will allow him on.

Samsgirl · 23-10-2021 10:39pm

If this was Tubridy, it would have been so Sharon tell me how your Mother's death affected you as a person.

Montage of Feck · 23-10-2021 10:41pm

Maybe it's the mediocrity of turbidity and d'arcy, giving me low expectations, but I'm pleasently surprised this isn't complete cack.

Samsgirl · 23-10-2021 10:52pm

Great that the guests are just on for a chat too. Not flogging a movie or a book.

jos28 · 23-10-2021 11:04pm

A breath of fresh air on the RTE schedule. Lively, great guests and Angela definitely engages with them. Fair play Angela

In all fairness, you're setting 'the bar' fairly low there................mind you, that Pamela Anderson interview with Darcy was comedy gold.

Now that you mentioned it....Mrs Mc Carthy are transfixed by the empty/ clear tables

Hangdogroad · 24-10-2021 10:16am

Was she asked about the mad brother?

connemara man · 24-10-2021 11:28am

On the scale from Darcy to Tommy Tiernan where does Angela sit

24-10-2021 11:39am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118065551#Comment_118065551

Well, obviously Darcy is the lowest common denominator, Tommys show is a totally different animal to Angeles gig so I would say they're on a 'par'

JP Liz V1 · 24-10-2021 1:23pm

I'd say 6, pleasantly surprised it was good

Atlantic Dawn · 24-10-2021 3:38pm

Looks to be pre-recorded a week plus in advance, they showed next weeks guests in the preview.

Mad_maxx · 24-10-2021 10:41pm

She's always very likeable, so easy with the camera

deisemum · 25-10-2021 1:31am

I like Angela Scanlon and enjoyed the show. The guests were very likeable unlike the vacuous insufferable Amy Huberman who'll be on the next show.

Ash.J.Williams · 25-10-2021 1:41am

I think rte haven’t the heart to drop tubridy for some reason, he’s not even an employee

FGR · 25-10-2021 1:54am

Shame it's not live on the telly.

God I knew I wouldn't like that show from the first time he said that..

Brock Turnpike · 27-10-2021 12:53pm

Didn't make it past halfway of the Sharon Corr interview.

Pros:

It's not Tubs.

It's not D'arcy

Guests don't seem to be on purely to flog something

It's not Tubs

Angela Scanlon is a good presenter

Cons:

For a show that has had such a long lead in, they seemed to be really struggling for stuff to talk to the guests about i.e. bringing Martin Compton's wife into the conversation and showing them kissing. Very cringe.

They went with the "tell us how great Ireland is" schtick with MC.

Sharon Corr a very uninspiring guest imo. RTE seem to love getting the Corr sisters on, despite the fact they haven't been relevant for a long time in terms of their music.

I won't be setting aside time to watch this on a weekly basis as I just find it very "meh".

Quantum Erasure · 20-11-2021 10:58pm

searched 'Angela Scanlon' and came across a thread called 'Sack the stylist, again and again' ... but it was locked...

edit: she just mentioned "I was a stylist, back in the day..."

Icsics · 20-11-2021 11:49pm

This show is surprisingly watchable…but Kielty tells that story about flying to LA for Deeleys birthday everytime he’s on anything!

Dynomutt · 21-11-2021 5:16am

Dreadful frocks on the host and guests aside, this programme seems to have the least telegenic audience possible.

JP Liz V1 · 11-12-2021 10:45pm

This week finale has actress and writer Aisling Bea, former rugby player Peter Stringer and chef and author Donal Skehan

Tandey · 11-12-2021 11:36pm

Flicked this on. Why is yer man fake laughing at the end of every sentence. Strange guy.

Be right back · 12-12-2021 12:38am

Pussyhands · 12-12-2021 12:50am

Can't stand Scanlon. She'd sell her granny for money.

But the worst thing about it is it's the same as all the rest. It's just an interview with the same people who've been interviewed over and over already on Irish tv.

The same people interviewed on the Late Late, Ray D'arcy show, Ireland AM, 6 o clock show etc.

cute geoge · 12-12-2021 1:10am

This show is easily more entertaining then tubridy ,darcy and tommy tiernan but I think Una healy might be more likeable then Scanlan ,but she is far from the worst and brings the best out of the guests .which neither tubridy or darch are capable of

Brock Turnpike · 12-12-2021 8:34pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118307863#Comment_118307863

This quote makes very little sense when you include Tommy Tiernan in the same bracket as Tubs and D'arcy.

cute geoge · 12-12-2021 9:34pm

well I did not mean tt personnally but his saturday night show can be hit and miss I feel especially if he has no notion who is interviewing

Icsics · 12-12-2021 9:48pm

Aisling Bea is hilarious, her series ‘this way up’ is on Netflix, very funny

JP Liz V1 · 10-10-2022 10:14pm

Angela is back on Saturday night

bodhrandude · 22-10-2022 10:05pm

Just watched a bit of tonight, tonight's guest, Jason Bloody Byrne, turned off straightaway, next guest the girl from Countdown, nice enough lady but Jason Byrne is still there. For all the 'Oh No's' leading up to this, its pretty naff I have to say.

deisemum · 22-10-2022 10:17pm

This one's painful.

Xander10 · 23-10-2022 8:50pm

I switched on for 10 mins (all I could last) and felt for Rachel stuck with 3 utter ass holes and found myself saying, they are not typical Irish people, please don't judge us based on same.

Utter dross .

Who were the guests?

batistuta9 · 24-10-2022 2:07pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119786401#Comment_119786401

Jason Byrne, Rachel Riley & Erica Cody.

Think the old format actually worked better, just another generic chat show now

Brock Turnpike · 24-10-2022 4:09pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119787053#Comment_119787053

Genuinely had to Google search Erica. Never heard of her.

RTE can barely fill the LLS with guests (and I mean that quite generously) so why they think having additional talk shows is somehow a good idea, I really don't know.

Demonique · 29-10-2022 9:54pm

Im on my phone while my parents are watching this

Why is Rylan Clark Neal on the show? He's made his career on being a tangoed talentless annoying reality star

Shakyfan · 29-10-2022 10:14pm

Why the **** do people feel the need to insert the word like so often in sentences where it isn't necessary. Lyra might be like less of an annoying like **** if she like cut back on it!

1992ChainGang · 29-10-2022 10:20pm

Watched the last 5 mins, this is hilariously forced. So bad

JP Liz V1 · 30-10-2022 1:01pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119810233#Comment_119810233

It is a Cork thing adding like

Did Lyra mention her Your A Star time

I think Rylan has a book coming out, his biography

Shakyfan · 30-10-2022 6:53pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119811626#Comment_119811626

It's more than a Cork thing these days unfortunately, More an anyone under the age of 30 thing! Between that and starting the answer to every question with the word so, it's hard to watch anything these days.

JP Liz V1 · 12-04-2023 3:54am

Back this Saturday night

hawkwing · 15-04-2023 9:39pm

Is she on something?

walshb · 15-04-2023 9:42pm

What’s with the f bombs from Duffy? Trying to be cool/edgy?
