Going by their Facebook page they are currently filming and looking for extras so if anyone's interested....

Part of the problem is that when he appears in interviews as himself he's combative, evasive, weird, patronising and not very funny. At least the times I've seen him. The time he was on Vincent Browne's Friday night show was a case in point.

I like The Savage Eye a lot, and I think he's also a gifted comic actor.

I agree. I just think he is a massive P1ss Taker and cannot bring himself to take the Interviewers as seriously as they would like him to and thats why he usually gives stupid or meandering answers to their invariably stupid questions.

I have completely gone off chat shows for this reason. I mean Tubbers ...

......really ????

I used to absolutely love watching PK Plank squirming in his Swivel chair when he had Dave on

I happen to like Comics that are fearless and say what I am thinking.

Of course I understand how he could come across as arrogant etc but in fairness, the majority of the sketches in the Savage Eye are hilarious and really hit the nail on the head. Some are hit and miss of course but thats the nature of all sketch shows and all comedy in general.

We need more of that and less of that Agnes Brown tripe !

There will be an Xmas Special, not sure about another series. Hopefully!

Christmas special, Christmas eve at 10:30 RTE 2 (double check that I'm right though

)

Yes, should be good.

cloud493 · 24-12-2011 12:22pm

Got it onto record

cannot wait, looks amazing from the little clip they have on the advert.

I didn't think it was great tbh.

briany · 25-12-2011 2:23am

It was very funny in my opinion. Not really any weak sketches in there. Roll on series 3 I say.

James T Kirk · 25-12-2011 4:21am

It being Christmas, going to be charitable and just say it was... bad.

And by 'bad' I mean the literal definition, not the hipster one.

I loved the last series though.

omahaid · 25-12-2011 9:27am

It was pretty good, i had a good laugh

Ash.J.Williams · 25-12-2011 9:54am

Not bad...might need to up It's game for series 3 though.:..the guards were priceless

youngblood · 25-12-2011 11:21am

Wasnt impressed, love the series though
Hope this is not a sample of series 3 quality

fryup · 25-12-2011 9:20pm

the re'work of stop the cavalry was very clever

Ash.J.Williams · 25-12-2011 9:40pm

'mere
Wha?
C'mere

Grayditch · 26-12-2011 1:12am

Love the series, but that was absolutley desperate.

Ash.J.Williams · 05-01-2012 1:08pm

overall....it was one of RTE's better offerings over xmas

cloud493 · 05-01-2012 1:13pm

I thought that was pretty funny

Father Damo · 09-01-2012 7:56am

Have only just saw some of this, being away and all. The barman is absoloutely priceless, hurt your sides laughing. McSavage has always been a class act, jesus I remember 10 odd years ago he would be in Temple Bar with a guitar taking the piss out of every passing skanger, goth and other subhumans.
