    The main problem with this show (apart from the host) is it's far too long.
    Half the time, double the quality of guest and it would be twice the show.
    I have every sympathy for Anita and all the illness of the week cases but they would be better placed on breakfast/afternoon TV.

    Very sad.

    I don't want to make light of the poor Woman's disease. I wish her well, but this interview was very badly planned.

    Is the wife famous..?

    Seems to be an author. Never heard of her before. It's sad. However, will her husband being on talking about it prevent it from happening to others ? I don't think so

    Alzheimers is hanging Sausages on your line in the middle of the afternoon. Dementia is taking a flamethrower to 'em.

    I think Alzheimers is memory, and i think Dementia is a little more... "hyper" for lack of a word.. Dementia is going slightly bonkers??

    Somehow I don't remember there being so much misery porn in Gay Byrnes time?

    What the fup has happened the LLS in the last ten years?

    I thought it was meant to be a light entertainment show.

    The most serious social issue Gay Byrne covered when he was on it was the Bishop and the nightie scandal.

    Sorry I'm showing my ignorance here, but is this "Illness of the Week" thing a thing that's just developed that people on this thread have given a name to, or a legitimate planned segment on each show?

    Oh no they have an illness or misery story every single week, sometimes both.

    Anyone remember the sex episode of the Late Late back in Gaybo's day? I remember him saying before they started that it wasn't suitable for little ones so I was swiftly sent to bed.

    Gay Byrne ALWAYS got the audience involved. It was the better show for it. Plenty of witticisms and rows to boot. Pat Kenny abandoned the idea. I was hoping Tubs would bring it back. Sadly he didn't. The last good Late Late show was the one with Jim Corr and Lord Monckton or the one with Rhys Ifans and Mr Nice Howard Marks

    This is a condition that is affecting more and more people, it was once considered an old person's condition. I think it is important to raise awareness, it might prompt someone else to make an appointment for a loved one who has been behaving differently recently.

    This is a terrible cross to bear for him, especially being so young.

    He's enduring it but it must be taking a terrible toll on him too.

    Well I think the LLS have given up trying to entertain.

    There's a time and place for these sorts of interviews, maybe a Thursday night program or a program similar to Newsnight of the BBC.

    But a friday night on a light entertainment show is not the place, and trying to use interviews like this to boost ratings is frankly the pits.

    We should have been listening to the Dubliners and Friends for the last hour.

    I'd say he's probably singing "Please Release Me" to himself.
