    I had at least five twenty-somethings and thirty-somethings mention the LL Toy Show to me in work today.

    I hadn't the heart to tell them I don't give a fúck. Sorry but why is this "a thing" now? When I was a kid my older siblings went to the pub and the kids watched the Toy Show. Even back then it was a bit lame. I don't think I watched it at all after the age of 14.

    Supposed to be going out tonight, but I'm worried everyone is going to bail, in order to stay in and watch that insufferable bean pole.

    It's okay not to "get it".

    But by way of explanation, the fun is in the fact that late-night live TV and kids do not mix, and the show is genuinely dreaded by production people who are so used to co-ordinating everything into bland, spoon-fed nonsense.

    We might have to pan a bit in the river, but there will always be at least a chance of a few golden TV nuggets.

    For those of us with nostalgic memories, it's a heritage thing - a shared experience - and you kind of have to be there.

    Let's hope it all goes haywire.

    They've promised that dreams can come true - but forget to mention that nightmares are dreams, too.

    Gaybo was the best. His thinly veiled hatred of the brats on the show was a joy to behold.

    In fairness Gaybo only seemed to hate those kids who upstaged him.

    Every other kid just got a variation on the patronising contempt he had for the rest of the country.

    We've replaced them with token nGaelgoirisiseoigeisis, infesting RTE like a bad dose of syphilis

    I know someone was going to say that! In fairness Angeline Ball and Samantha Mumba are or were genuinely famous.

    Bit of a tangent but is there some well-known, never-published story about what happened Samatha Mumba? She had genuine American billboard success, and then disappeared quicker than a line of coke on a Krystal toilet. Does anyone know what the hell actually happened there? She's like, our Malaysian Airlines.

    Apparently it has a chitty chitty bang bang theme tonight but no child catcher as he might frighten young children, to be fair it already has a pretty sinister presenter so maybe RTE have a limit of one weirdo per show.

    Live TV, kids, and a slightly hyper presenter. What could possibly go wrong.

    Hopefully this thread will be better than the actual show - inflicted on me by OH who want's family bonding/memories watching LLTS with Kid(s).

    So this and a few tinnies and it may be bearable.

    Just not the same without PK. His general warm and easy-going nature around the kids really warmed the heart.

    This one's for you....

    After reading that 'non-exhaustive' list, I realise that a slab of beer may not be enough, I feel a Tesco homedelivery coming on.....
