We wrote him a stern email on the subject.

And then we got drunk and forgot to send it.

Clients of agent Noel Kelly in the new Autumn line-up on RTE:

Craig Doyle, Ryan Tubridy, Grainne Seoige, Joe Duffy, Brendan O’Connor, Clodagh McKenna, Derek Mooney, Sile Seoige, Claire Byrne, John Kelly, Dr Mark Hamilton, Maura Derrane, Baz Ashmawy, Lottie Ryan, Bernard Dunne and Karl Henry.

Meanwhile…

I couldn’t spot any new front of camera talent in the listings either, which is disappointing – surely someone other than Joe Duffy, Derek Mooney, Gay Byrne, Craig Doyle et al could present a programme.
