    As per the last couple of posters - really poor show title.

    RTE should just show some comedies similar to a Christmas schedule, but with more inspired movie choices.

    Nobody want to see Catether Thomas, nor another insipid reality show.
    It is another 'prime' example of the disdain that RTE has for the majority in this country. They are totally detached from the rest of society in their D4 bubble. The organisation needs to be totally revamped from the top down.

    As I quoted in another thread about RTE:
    "Never was so much owed (€) by so many to so few ...."

    Is this disease only attacking Irish female celebs?

    I honestly thought this was a joke when I seen the thread earlier and then I seen it for real.

    I always roll my eyes a bit when somebody says or does something stupid and everybody starts demanding that they be fired for a mistake. This however is one of those times where multiple people at RTE thought that this would be a good idea. Surely the people who agreed to put this out are not fit for purpose.

    I do believe in public broadcasting. RTE do a good job on elections and national events. News etc but they still over pay their " stars " and peddle this ****. They don't realize that people get tired of the likes of Thomas.

    To be honest I can't believe how utterly stupid and detached RTE with this one, even for them it's bad.

    If it was maybe say prime time doing some interviews with those who finding the isolation hard, things they are doing to help keep sane etc it wouldn't be bad

    But RTE taking this and making a cringey play on one of their own shows as if it's something trivial along with just sticking cameras into participants homes is just unbelievably crass and disgusting

    What a wheelbarrow of sh1t, RTE "entertainment".

    Even reruns of Fr Ted or 20 year old episodes of the Simpsons sounds better.

    Of course there detached, looks at there line up of presenters.
    Only one I can remotely relate to is Tommy Tiernan.


    Every single host is so awfully posh and from the south side. Don't get me wrong, it seems like RTE have a internal struggle with employing people who are real life experiences and charm apposed put on accents to much make up and not enough ability to relate to people only of a certain class based on the fact they were and most likely are privately educated.

    Katherine Thomas went to Kings Hospital...


    I rest my case.

    even Reeling in the Years would be a better bet, and that's been done to fcuking death and back at this stage...

    Like everyone else I thought this was Waterford Whispers type wind up. Unbelievable idea thought up to keep those Operation Transformation goons going. Presume KT will have her usual different designer clobber for each episode to make the poor contestants look even worse?

    it's been filmed already, were just waiting for the production team to complete their 14 days of isolation before they can cut the show and air it.

    Sure Dee Forbes will give Kathryn/Those who suggested this a big fat contract as BBC/ITV/American stations are looking to "poach" her and the rte "talent"
