    Oh, really!, as Podge in the Den days would say
    Remember when Podge first came along (without Rodge), he didn't have any hair, and was a fairly creepy character? And then, after a while, it all went downhill...

    I'm sure he meant yer wan Garrihy. Ray was around before Podge and Rodge. Even before The Den, there was Jo Maxi! :pac:

    Just because I don’t care for them doesn’t mean I can’t make a thread asking what people think. :)

    Calm down man, you’ll give yourself a heart attack.

    Completely agree. It is most likely being used to promote Doireann Garrihy. Before you know it she will be fronting everything.

    Yea, I wonder who she's related.

    Scare at bed time, brilliant. Characters like Enda Meshaft :D and remember the one about the "brown Haleys commet" :)

    Actress Aoibhin, 31, PR guru Ailbhe, 29 are her older sisters according to the Sun.

    Aoibhin Garrihy who was in Fair City, has been floundering around RTE and TV3 recently. She lists RTE as her general employer on LinkedIn.

    Ailbhe Garrihy, while stated as PR guru, appears to be general manager of Dublin Bay Cruises.

    The implication of the above uncertain bios would indicate there is nothing overly special by way of talent and therefore it would not surprise me if connections were used to secure roles with RTE.

    Maybe it's for the best, like we really want another vehicle for Montrose connected people of dubious talent.

    The presenter could look like a pug's arse for all I care so long as they have the talent to do the job.

    They're an embarrassment, up there with zig/zag, dustin and bosco. We are certainly adept at producing cringe-worthy stupid puppet shows in this country.

    Zig and Zag are actually by the same guys who do Podge and Rodge.

    Zig and Zag, Dustin and Podge & Rodge were all excellent characters (Bosco was always a bit of a tosspot). Podge and Rodge talk shows didn't work, sure. I'm not sure where this hate is coming from.

    A Scare at Bedtime is one of the most emblematic and quality shows of Irish humour ever created.

    There's an element of Scarlett Moffatt in there, and therefore Marty Morrissey.

    So, no thanks.

    Regardless of the quality of the programme (I've never seen it myself), you have to feel bad for "no talent" "pug"-faced Doireann Garrihy who's getting slaughtered for absolutely no reason in this thread. As if Ian Dempsey being her godfather means he actually is The Godfather and he can sort any job out for her in the media in Ireland. He hasn't even worked in RTE for about twenty five years. Get a ****ing grip on yourself, lads.

    Podge and Rodge was axed years ago when it was growing in popularity and in height of its popularity,that is well documented. 15 years later? There was zero possibility of a comeback from that!

    The Saturday show hosted by Brendan o Caroll, it became more popular than the late late show! And that was the end of that. He was fired because he was doing his job too good! And replaced by Ray Darcy! Someone to lower the ratings!

    Crazy!!!!

    All her siblings claim to be "influencers" from a well off family ,one sister works for rte., been on Fair City, and a series of Dancing with the "stars" (and other things) and the other sister is a publicist so probably has links to RTE, and as if Dempsey doesn't have some mates he can call to give dear old godchild Doireann a job/opportunity.

    ye'll be saying next Lottie Ryan got on the radio for her talent and ability and not who her dad was...

    I'd say they'd fetch a decent sum at auction.
