    And making a bollox of it.

    Was he on the late late show as well, getting their money's worth.

    Is ray finished on TV for the foreseeable future. Here's hoping.:)

    In terms of his radio efforts , how has he not been snapped up by international media outlets.:pac::pac::pac:

    Just announced that the Den with himself Zig and Zag and Dustion is coming back live on Sunday evenings at 6.30pm.

    Not a fan of Ray and never watched his chat show but I guess that is the end of it - probably a good thing. At least Ray can justify his mega salary now without doing the chat show.

    Looking forward to seeing the Den again - back to my childhood

    Have they a new voice actor for Dustin? He sounded completely different.

    It's good that RTE have finally realised Ray's level - playing straight man to 3 lumps of upholstery rather than displaying his innate dullness whenever he has to talk to adults.

    The only pity is the Den isn't coming back 5 days a week in it's original slot

    But why though? What purpose is it serving in 2020? Also where's bloody Zuppy?

    Leave the memories for those old enough to remember the Den alone, god damn it.

    Usually these RTE Nostalgia comeback fests don't last long: Zig & Zag, Podge & Rodge etc - I'll give it 1 season and it will be axed.

    Brilliant memories - but some things are best left as they were 30 years ago.

    I'll admit the lively aspect of the den suits ray better, his problems seem to fall down to live interviewing and trying to manage the control panel

    They must have gotten great feedback about their appearance on Comic Relief so are resurrecting it

    I wonder was it the bit when he said some children won't be able to see their grandparents again because they are dead.

    I'm actually looking forward to resurrection of the Den. There's seriously little to laugh about these times, and I hope Dustin sends up a few of the RTÉ presenters.

    "Our post person" flogged to death in the first few minutes, anything to avoid saying postman.

    Gerry Daly sounds either like he's had a stroke or is terrible pissed.

    You'd swear they weren't paying or something.

    How does he get so much attention from the media.

    His hotel is €500 per night for B&B for next Friday and Saturday.

    Maybe because he's confident, chatty and the camera loves him.

    The Brennans run a really good hotel.

    Rooms are sold according to demand like hotels all over the world.

    You can get better value mid-week.

    A search for 6 & 7 October, Tuesday and Wednesday, comes out at €720 per night.:pac:

    It is a 5 star hotel.

    I think the media could give some other hotels a chance.

    There are other hotels in Ireland you know. ;)

    Are you looking to get away?

    Try Hotels.com.

    Don't worry, there will be another hotelier with a bit of spark and go about him along eventually and then Francis will get back to the day job.

    To be fair, she does seem like a nice girl. But yeah, that accent is something to behold.

    Francis obviously has great PR people.

    You said the camera loves him in an earlier post, thanks for the laugh :D.

    The Ray D'Arcy show was lazy putting on the same old inoffensive rubbish.

    Francis was on the Tubridy radio show in recent weeks and on the Late Late if I'm not mistaken.

    Francis has good PR.
