    Tis awful garbage to be sure,to be sure:).Don't Feed The Gondolas (with Moncrieff presenting) is the benchmark in home produced satirical comedy.

    We absolutley need The Blizzard of Odd back on tv...

    To everyone on this thread,i fully recommend Newswipe with Charlie Brooker.Thats tv satire at its absolue best and shows Neil Delamere and his tv show up for what it truly is..televisions equivalent of a porn fluffer! ha!

    We need a tv show to unmercifully savage the absolute sh1t on our tvs,Midday is one example,a good couple of broad swipes will take that thing apart.Amanda 'Tits McGee' is on it now..dear christ.

    Mairead Farrell must have a contract on rte..unfunny on the panel,unfunny on the radio and now this.Its a poor Balls of Steel esque attempt at humour which does not come off.

    They must think we are so stupid.

    She seems to be on every now and then.

    The shows structure needs to be reviewed. Why does Delimer have to do the "Headlines", far too many intros to things happening in the rest of the show. Of course scripting etc needs to be sharper.

    Its a big improvement from when it first started but that isn't saying much.

    @Dangermouse27 yeah Charlie Brooker and Blizzard of Odd are excellent but both are very different to this show.

    Brill show last night!

    Was that Mairead's wedding/engagement ring on her wedding finger last night? Or was it 'accessory' ring(s)?

    To be fair to Mairead, she scrubs up well. She got a bit frumpy while she was married, but she's lost a lot of weight and looks very good now. She is a LOT better than that other wannabe Apprentice yoke that used to be on.

    She split up with the husband earlier this year, so unless she's got back with him. ??

    I don't know if they are back together or not.

    Some weeks she wears ring(s) on her wedding finger, other weeks she doens't wear ring(s) on her wedding finger. I'm beginning to think her marriage is over and she is only wearing ring(s) on her wedding finger

    A) To keep people guessing as to whether she is back with her hubby or not
    B) She wears them as accessories.

    I'll go with option B.

    Jesus, what was that A-Team sketch all about? Derek Davis and the weatherman from TnaG and Baz etc. anyway it was awful shíte.

    Wasn't watching the show, just flicking.

    Seriously doubt if they'll give him another series.

    Great show tonight, am disappointed it was the last show of this series and I really hope it get's another series.

    Also, I reckon Mairead is back with her hubby as she was wearing her wedding/engagement ring(s) tonight and at one point she said "when I was single".

    Her dress was nice as well. It's from Karen Millen, nice price tag of €325.

    I actually enjoyed the show tonight, for a change:o

    I thought the A-Team sketch was brilliant, I laughed all the way through. But being honest, it was probably too little too late, as before this I'd given up on it, unless there was absolutely nothing else on tv instead.

    I think Neil Delamare is better than it though, hopefully that'll be it for now.

    Herald made this big deal about that "question" Maguire asked Michael O Leary. Clearly it was edited.
    From their story he paused for a moment before replying. Big anti climax that. Show is good in places I admit.
    Did like the joke about who would have a million quid to buy a house in Drumcondra through.

    It's back for a new series with new host Dermot Whelan.

    http://www.rte.ie/tv/audienceparticipation/republicoftelly.html

    The Republic of Telly is back. Dermot Whelan is our new host to skewer everything in pop culture and take a wry look at what's happening throughout Ireland and the world. He'll be hosting a show filled with new comic talent and twisting tv till it breaks.

    We've got celebrities like you've never seen them before - Daithí O'Sé as James Bond, Breffny Morgan rapping - gangsta style - and even Crystal Swing get down and do some Dirty Dancing.

    The irrepressible Jennifer Maguire is back to insult the rich-and-famous and ask the questions that nobody else would have the balls to. She'll also be visiting a town near you looking to air everyone's dirty laundry and drag those skeletons out from inside your closet.

    The Republic will be welcoming regular contributions from some of the brightest comics around. From the Rubber Bandits telling us about the real Ireland, Gearoid Farrelly reporting from the seedy underworld of illegal fake tanning, to Damian Clark investigating what people really get up to on a night out... And if you've any personal problems you need advice on, give us a shout - we'll answer them sensitively in our own, unique, way.

    Music lovers won't want to miss our unique songs and videos, whether its original songs or our spin on the classics.either way, our version will be. unforgettable.

    Oh, and we'll be taking apart Telly too.did we mention that already?

    Dermot Whelan as a TV host,really??

    Maybe I should pretend to be a bad comedian/bad radio presenter or just an irritating cúnt and then RTE will hire me.

    Pretty much Pat Kenny's entire CV that is!


    On topic tho, I have to say I will miss Neil Delamere as the host. I won't write off Dermot Whelan just yet, I'll wait until episode 3 before I do that! :P

    It's a bit ridiculous.. It took Delamere a few episodes to get the hang of working off the autocue, and he eventually got pretty good at it... And it was a solid enough show, without being particularly groundbreaking...

    And now they have to train in somebody else from scratch...
