Broadsheet on the Telly.
The independent, alternative talk show that’s been hours months in the making is ready to go LIVE!
A show where YOU discuss the stories of the day, probe the issues and HAVE a natter over a late night doobie martini tay.
And no one – not even your mother* – can tell you to shut up.
Broadcasting tonight and every Thursday at 11.30pm, on Broadsheet.ie and our YouTube channel.
Any excuse.
* unless it’s her gaff.
UPDATE: So as not to clash with Vincent Browne we will now commence at 11.45pm

WTG Broadsheet. Thank god for alternative media that’s not controlled by either Denis O’Brien, or the Irish Government.
Who’s appearing?
Clampers, Neilo…
Sorry, Nigel
I am…..
* stops picking nose, fixes hair, adjusts and prods a few bits… pushes glasses back up the ridge of me nose and rolls up sleeves *
No one told me !
Holy crap, no. I’m not destroying the mysterious romantic mystique I’ve worked so hard to build by turning up on your screens like a convict in a line-up mumbling vague justifications about how it was the other guy wot done it and spilling coffee in my lap while trying to expound on the issues of the day.
Is this only available live or can we watch back on YouTube later?
Ironcorona, it’ll be up on you tube and well do the timing whatsit so you can skip to the bits that might tickle your fancy.
Looking forward to viewing it BS ! :)
….a little earlier might have been nice, but sure… ’tis the tao of the ‘sheet, I guess.
it’ll be something like this

Be a change from the usual….

Better than my guess: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9C4uTEEOJlM
Lol
This is more what I expect

Fair play to them, whom ever you are !
does this mean i need to change my youtube username to Starina?
11:30pm hardly suits your rich expat readers.
but suits a lot of us, we can watch it under the duvet with our beaus xx
…and it’s clashing with Vinb…
perfect for NYC
Yep!
And Boston, as soon as I wade through through 18 inches of snow we’re getting at the moment…
Good luck with it Broadsheet….
rich ?
Hey. I’m a rich expat reader and it suits me just fine.
*hard-working overseas readers* too mean
Too late for me, I’ll have to catch the highlight show tomorrow.
Good luck with it all :-)
Looking forward to it
How do I go about appearing on the show?
have you been vetted, Jimmy?
Mrs Russell insisted or he’d be made sleep in the spare room
but jimmy, you’re not real. don’t you know that?
I’m real when it’s useful.
Only watching if it’s live-animated by Mick Flavin
*stretches fingers, cracks knuckles*
There’s bound to be a joke in there somewhere about crime gang nicknames….
Ha! He’s always on, this guy.
I for one look forward to the return of Johnny Handsome.
But this is the middle of the night for me!
*sets alarm*
I believe ‘Digs’ is doing a special appearance from the asylum?
“How did that eejit get on the telly?”
Fr. Jack Hackett
I have set a reminder ! Excited and no matter what happens yis were brave to unmask
Broadsheet on the tellybox?
Basically footage of Moyest howling impotently and flinging his excrement all over the shop.
Still sounds better than Sunday Brunch.
Howling impotently and flinging excrement? Isn’t that one of LJG’s videos?
In all fairness, fair play in to ye.
Break a leg !!!
will this turn into a running-commentary thread? i sure hope so.
This could be bigger than Newshounds would have been if the interweb had got its act together in time. God speed BS. Going boldly as ever. Gulp.
Anyone else seeing a blank youtube channel?
+1
yeah
doesn’t seem to be working
yep
“Apologies for sporadic streaming etc…”
running late ?
Oh, good, thought i had entered my dark place again.
YAY.

Guess their daily avatars! Not a competition until we say it is…
I stayed up late for this and the tea will only stay hot for so long.
However.
I’ll put some popcorn on too. I’m looking forward to this.
Is that Bodger!? So much more modelly than I expected. Fair play in fairness. Also, lovely house plants-possibly lose the fairly lights for next broadsheetcast
First time seeing John Ryan? Dated a few celebs back in the ‘Stars on Sunday’ days.
Am I the only one that want’s to know what Mike’s ‘Crap from the Past’ bookmark is?
Nevermind, it’s a podcast.
Hopes of unfortunate slips dashed
It’s a great blog, too, lots of notes and such on early CD and other obsure formats for pedants like myself.
Is it still on
Am I too late,?
It’s still on Frilly, stream above or got to their YT page.
Tubed in niw
This grand
But its in Black n”white
‘Cept for Johnny’s plants
Tell you what- this is a hell of a lot better than I thought it was going to be. Fair play.
Agreed. Well done lads. Very good so far.
RTE, along with a lot of other state institutions, need to be dismantled and rebuilt minus the bias,cronyism, corruption and wastage of the taxpayers hard earned money. It’s the only way to reform, they can’t manage to progress or evolve on their own.
Every now and then, RTE do some proper investigating programmes. Admittedly, very rare. Like a rare glimpse of something shiny in a tank full of poo.
Agreed, I really dig Claire Byrne, no nonsense and very formidable. If RTE was just any other TV and Radio outlet with no license or squandering of taxpayers money (Tubridy 900k a few years back) they could do as they pleased.
Mike, we look quite similar. Devilishly handsome, obviously.
;-)
Which one is Memes d’ think… Not the red head anyway
They wouldn’t let me do it in the nip so I refused to take part.
I was gonna suggest Marcel
Great to see an alternative to Redacted news + RTE news….. I think this program will get better over time. Also, would be good to have short sharp snippets that you can post on Facebook, Twitter etc …… I would love to see John tell/narrate the story about the time Redacted’s legal team asked Broadsheet to remove a story about him.
…my theory…this happened on a Friday when they’d all stayed in the pub and nobody was left in the office…next thing they were being portrayed as the Davids who had stood against Goliath…brazen it out lads…turn it into a virtue…
JR just lobbed an absolute grenade with that comment about Soros funding the repeal campaign and it’s been almost completely ignored.
soros is the ubiquitous bogeyman
But sur hanging on ta’ all that money is just brazen bad manners
If he wants ta’ lash it about
Let him at it
Yeah was delighted with that bit of grenade lobbing too! Keep it up JR!
You only realise he’s been trolling you for years NOW?
That guy Johnny is great.
Nice ta’see a gang of lads discussing abortion
Right-On-Ranelagh Journo did prove his bone fides by mentioning that 6 guys weren’t allowed to have an opinion.
Made a nice change from the usual, yes?
Nice ta’see a gang of lads discussing abortion
Ha!
ABM just got busted
Jesus…a panel of lads slipping easily into tone policing as soon as the 8th is mentioned.
Goodnight…
Will you have some zingy, well-illustrated commentary on tonight’s episode?
I do hope so.
Well, JR was spot on about his concerns about having an adult conversation about it all.
The repeal side can be just as snarky as the pro lifers
When’s the cursing and talking about other contributors gonna start lads
C’mon ou’da
Well done lads. Enjoyed that.
Good stuff lads and ladies, will check in again next time.
Tis on too late
For a school night
Like
Maybe after the late late
T’would be grand
Or head t’head with Marian
…there has seldom been such a display of consensus on Broadsheet…
Satisfying swipes at the usual suspects and a few low blows at the Pound baiting big swinging dick made for a decent night in. Was waiting for a Panini Sticker reveal and a craft beer top 5 beardy chat so please get a gender balance next time. Watching 6 men in a video chat room after midnight of a schoolnight talking about women’s sovereignty is a bit Priest Chatback.
A great start fellas, get some ladies on board and the sky is the limit
Worst chat roulette ever!
Nice one Gerard
John seems nervous – otherwise it was grand
Good job
Fair play y’all, look forward to the next.
a good start , even if I doozed off to the dulcet tones after a bit ;)
in my humble opinion it needs more work. was clunky and not natural. im a big fan of site in general, and no expert, but hey everything has to start somewhere. god I’m so Irish I can’t admit it just was not at the races. sorry mammy.
would it be easy to throw it up on to a podcast?
didn’t get to watch it last night (was love making) and it’s hard to something that size throughout the day, podcast could be listened to when out and about though?
I’d second the podcast thing.
“Was love making ”
So was I. But I still was able to hold my iPhone in my
other hand.
Not all of us are multi-taskers, you know.
Not to mention those that have the opportunity to use both hands ….
Catching up this morning. Depending on how late I manage to stay awake, either my night finishes or my day begins with the Broadsheet papers so I’ll be tuning in. It’s like the comments only now I can keep working away instead of having to read the screen ;-)
It’s on far too late for me so a podcast would be great.
Best of luck with it chaps :)
…you got a mention in the credits at the end Bertie…
Well, in a “The following individuals will never be permitted to feature or participate:” way. It wasn’t the first name in the list, though.
Did I really?
That’s gas, must take a look later so.
They should have you on there doing your film reviews. My only negatives on the format was that it was
A) a cockfest – we are all dying to see what Frilly or Anne look like, or Mildred for that matter
B) a boring cockfest – where’s the levity that is a integral part of the site? The only funny bit was at the start where some people introduced themselves saying that they had an entry in the book of things that looked like Ireland – in fact it seemed to be a criteria for getting in :)
C) on too late. Some of us have jobs for fupps sakes and go to bed at a “normal” hour
Other ideas:
Special edition of “Call My Bluff” or “Countdown” style punogram game featuring Spaghetti Hoop
Musical guest introduced by Scottser
Anything by Mick Flavin as others suggest
Weekly GAA betting tips with Frilly
Anne’s rant – each week watch Anne take out some high level figure taking them apart with numbers and spreadsheets
And “direct quotes” from something they said 5 years ago one time in a pub
Oh and Commenter Nemesis Deathmatch
Each week watch a commenter have a water fight or something with their Broadsheet nemesis
This week: Clampers and Nigel throw snowflakes at each other
Really great. Looking forward to the next one!
Oh very good, a few tweaks and it would be brilliant.
John ’10 tokens flash’ Ryan
I could only watch a small bit of it last night, but thought it was good. A good format. Ye’re on to something there. Well done all.
11:45? some of us have to get up in the morning and pay PRSI for you people
It’s on bleedin’ Youtube, for your viewing, whenever
I didn’t have time to give this my full attention so had it on in the background. I found the subject matter a bit heavy and as an ex-pat I don’t have the same vested interest in or in-depth knowledge of some of the context or background to the topics discussed, nor am I aware of the feelings of the average person in the street towards them (other than what I read on BS), so I found a lot of it difficult to relate to but that’s just me, I’m sure viewers in Ireland were well engaged with the discussion.
I wonder if covering a less weighty topic at the end would lighten the mood and give the panellists a chance to show their wittier sides, as they didn’t really get much scope to do that in this session.
Also, perhaps covering an issue that BS has been highlighting that is not getting enough coverage elsewhere might stimulate more interest than just covering what the mainstream are saying.
Finally, you could make it a bit more interactive by announcing which topics you will be covering beforehand to generate interest and then picking up on any interesting comments while on air. Another way of making it more interactive could be to take suggestions on what people would like you to talk about, a bit like The Last Leg’s #isitok questions.
I hope these suggestions are helpful :-)
*1
Hear, hear…. sounds good to me that
Who is the pretty boy with the beard?
Cristiano Ronaldo.
Very good.
It’s seems a great concept , I hope it works out well ! I missed the 1st , I’d to see Billy Bragg on the beebs Question Time !!
Brilliant. Love it.
My only criticism is it’s on a bit late and is a bit long.
A bit more humour too would be good. That’d be easier if you had people on that you could take the p*ss out of in fairness. Any volunteers there? Kfc, Rotide perhaps?
How the fk do I swipe left
I kinda just loved it – it was like having a BS conversation in real-life? Admittedly, though I did watch it on Youtube, or whatever, later. I did wonder about commenters on BS – I know there is a certain hiding behind avatars and made up names. This is an opportunity to step behind the curtain…. if you’d watched you’ll understand. It was 6 guys, no women? I’m pretty sure that Frilly Keane is on, on Thursday night coming. Live “On The Telly”, am almost tempted to say, “Sure where would you get it?” It would appear I said it then?
Oh. My. god. This is horrific. This is like a scene from Derek. What were you guys thinking? Sad men sitting in front of computers giving out about mainstream media. Thank the lord we have ‘mainstream media’ and not this chimps tea party on a daily basis.
Good luck with this
