    I have a copy of the broadcast, she made very damaging remarks about Ms. Harney.

    I am aware of the remarks made about Harney. I had heard such damaging remarks form other people who are not in the habit of damaging people or spreading rumours. But the remarks have been denied and proven wrong in court, so that's that.

    There is no point to this Friday Night Show, It is indulgent meandering pointless conversation every week.

    Come in 'Friday Late with Vincent Browne', your time is up.
    I'd say you won't have to suffer much more, he will be going on holiday soon.

    Someone suggested a while back they should give Matt Cooper an interview slot on Friday Nights, 'one to one' rather than a panel.

    I think this is a very good idea, it would shake it up a bit and make Vincent Browne (and Ryan Tubridy) raise their game.

    I have to say that the ammount of garbage talked on this show tonight was ammazing.
    I must say that I find Alan Stanford to be highly pretencious.
    Nell is spouting complete nonsense with a very narrow focus and with very little appeal to any sort of logic.
    Actually the guy on the right is the only reasonable person on the show I think.

    I remember that, it was live and could go on for hours at a time.

    Hit and miss, but it had it's moments.

    Including Oliver Reed

    Alan looks like he is in a hurry to get back to his 27 years old girlfriend, aaaaaaah.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,449 ✭✭✭SuperInfinity


    I can imagine the tv3 staff now... "Well I thought that went well", "Yes, another excellent Friday night show, let's do it again next week and make sure to invite these guests back." :rolleyes:

    When the highpoint of a show is a discussion on Glenroe you know it's pretty bad... :o

    Sounds like it. I would have been a bit under the weather watching it:) but we all rushed home from the pub to watch it, young people's tv.

    She's become a joke. You don't know what crazy thing she's going to come out with next. You could see Vincent talking through gritted teeth at the end trying to ignore her and get the hell out of there.

    "Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen, it's back to the 80s tonight on TV3 with our twee theme tune, a discussion about blasphemous picures of Our Lady in a bikini and a chat about Glenroe. Don't forget to tune in tomorow night when we'll have a controversial discussion about condoms and the rising appeal of teenage discos."

    Vincent Browne was on Ray Darcy's Radio show during the week.

    He let it slip that the Friday Late show wasn't getting good audience numbers and would probably be dropped soon.

    No harm.

    I don't think it is the same show actually, but have a look and see:

    I do remember the one you are talking about, though. Iremeber Julian Lennon on it one night really ripping Yoko Ono to shreds.

    They should cut back to 3 nights per week (Mon, Wed & Fri).. 5 nights is just overkill. And put it on at around 9PM too.. 11:15 is mental. They're so obviously afraid of RTE.. they may as well merge with them.

    The guests are really terrible and I don't think VB does casual discussions very well. It's probably a little too serious for a Friday night. That said, I don't know how the LLS is still so popular given how morbid that can be.

    Well, in all fairness, UCC is paid for by taxpayers' money, so people have a right to give out if they don't like what it's being used for.

    I was referring to the content of VB show, not the protestors down at UCC.

    The independent.ie's editor was on thin ice earlier whinging about thejournal.ie's polling methods. The Sunday Independent refuses to publish their methodology and get very dubious results.

    She was rightly pulled up on it.
