    As anyone who watched the Telethon will have seen,Charlie Bird was very annoyed with one of RTE's "stars" after his anonymous stint.
    After they came back to Charlie after showing the clip he didn't look at all happy
    and he said the editing was brilliant.Had a look around You Tube and couldn't find it.
    Anyway if anyone here knows who it was please do tell!
    Some of the "stars" in the clip were:

    Gerry Ryan(i think it could be him)
    Pat Kenny
    Joe Duffy
    Derek Mooney
    Brian Dobson

    and im missing a few here!
    So as a licence payer i demand to know!!!!:confused:

    Sounded to me like "with their fish". The incident didn't occur on Moore St. by any chance?

    Dude tell them about the whole picketing RTE Cork plan!!!

    And speaking of Anonymous, just remembered that I'm in one of them. The Des Bishop one, I was in the audience and they kept using me for reaction shots!!

    Oh, and as I said in another thread, hope it was Joe Duffy!!
    Oh I hope it was Joe Duffy and then all the women from Clontarf can ring Liveline and give out to him.

    I'd just like to say, although I have no idea what a "telethon" in, that Pat Kenny is some piece of arse. He's like Christopher Reeve would be like if he didn't get paralysed by falling off a horse and dying afterwards.

    Classic line.. did you copyright that??? If not, well then COPYRIGHT!!

    So he's like Christopher Walken?

    I dont think Pat was the one Chalie was referring to: after all Pat was the only one to have a bit of banter with the Charles Black guy ("You cna buy cheaper wine in Lidl") and he laughed when he found out. I dont think Brian Dobson would be pissed because from what I hear he and Charlie Bird are good friends and the two top dogs in the newsroom. Gerry Ryan looked sour enough with Charles Black, but then again he was the only one who took the wine! I think whats more than likely is that the person Charlie said was pissed off with him would have been completely cut out from the segment. So what sour bastard or bitch with no sense of humour at RTE could it be?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,139 ✭✭✭Orange69


    Can someone explain in detail what the hell this is all about?

    Charlie Bird this this thing for Telethon where he put on all a mask and stuff to make him look different, only he didn't look different cos you cant hide that nose. They called him Charles Black.

    Charlie wouldn't stop laughing like a girl when he saw the 'transformation', only he was really laughing at his own face. Idiot.

    Because he was laughing they couldn't explain to him what to do so they sent him around rte to try and fool people.

    Charlie is crap at accents so the minute he said hello everyone said 'Howya Charlie', or something like that.

    This happened loads until he got to big brave Pat Kenny, Gerry Ryan, Derek Mooney and Joe Duffy. Derek Mooney was on the phone but he'd never been asked for an autograph before so he signed it.

    Charlie tried to give them wine. They refused. Joe Duffy said if he took it he'd be up in a tribunal. Gerry Ryan took it though. No surprises there.

    Then they showed the above people laughing because they were told it was Charlie.

    Cut back to Telethon studio where Ryan Tubridy, Charlie Bird, and the audience seemed terribly excited about the whole thing. How amusing.

    Charlie Bird tells Ryan that the editing was brilliant because some of the people weren't that happy with being fooled.

    Charlie Bird was, of course, wrong. It is not difficult to remove a clip of an angry person and put in a 5 second clip of someone laughing. Idiot.

    Then they showed some crap about Charlie messing up interviews with politicians and with his colleagues about him. Charlie coughed during the interview, which annoyed everyone. He coughed because talking was clearly not the way to go, as he can't do accents.

    Everyone laughed when they found out.

    Except David Norris who, although he had been fooled before on Anonymous, still did not realise who it was even when Jason Byrne said the word 'Anonymous' and threw in 'Charlie Bird' for the laugh, to which David replied, no this is Charles Black. The penny finally drops about 10 minutes later. Everyone laughs.

    Charlie, in studio, again mentions the brilliant editing and sulks like a little girl who has lost her dolly.

    Conclusion:

    1. How did Telethon make money out of this?

    2. Is David Norris on crack?

    3. I now realise why Charlie Bird could not get a visa to get to the country he was meant to be doing a story in and instead had to stand outside that country.

    4. Yet again Charlie Bird has proved himself to be a big girl's blouse, even more so than that Amazon debacle.
