Too much mankle in last photo
Why is Darren Kennedy dressed like the sale rail out of the House of Aran?
cos he’s sh1te?
now now. you can’t slag him off. You’ll be accused of being homophobic
Guy in the DB suit. Put some goddam socks on !
From the photos it just looks like five shows about Travellers.
I guiltily had the same thought ;)
Wow RTE has really brought it this year. Go RTE!!!
I pity any 20 to 35 year olds who have a brain and some taste. There’s nothing here for them. It’s all so mainstream pretending to be alternative.
It’s ok, they won’t be watching anyway. In the age of Netflix the idea that a company decides at exactly what hour you’re to watch TV is just bizarre. These guys are living under the same delusion as newspaper companies, as if we’re going to wake up in the morning and decide to go to the shop and buy sheets of paper that tell us what happened yesterday.
You say this as if tens of thousands of people around the country don’t do this.
People still buy newspapers. People still watch tv.
I know it’s cool to bash RTE and old media but you are wrong my friend.
God love them…they know no better!
People absolutely do buy newspapers and watch broadcast TV. The mentioned demographic was under 35s though. Not so much the case for that demographic.
Would be nice, where you can get the broadband capacity for Netflix. And once you’ve watched everything that’s not complete crap on Netflix, then you still need something else to watch – though not this of course.
That’s what Piratebay is for.
Who’s the big bloke holding a hair dryer?

Who are the McDonaghs and why are they going to be on TV?
A traveller family. There’s a bid to get every traveller on TV by 2016.
It’s the way we get them in the tax net, boss…
because minorities and clichés and Norah needs a TV vehicle.
Norah is a minority…most people do not spell it with an H.

To de songs dey playin on de radio.
Love the shoes, very now in a leaving cert sort of way. Music will be the same lazy Americanised drivel of course. Let’s not forget the 20% voice rule… it’s where geniuses like Turbidity trained.

Thankfully I won’t be watching….annoyingly I still have to pay for it!
Oh right…I thought this was gonna be an INTERESTING story about someone not getting invited to their own launch party or something….bit of a let down. Perhaps teach them to read and write and use a computer first? Might be handy in the business world….just sayin…
It’s days like this I’m glad I don’t pay the tv “license”
I think we should nuke Montrose. It’s the only way
…Who the fupp are these people? Seriously can I just donate my tv licence money to charity or something next year….
confirmation that my tv will be replaced by a monitor so i dont have to fund this nonsense
You now have to pay a licence if you have a computer not only if you have a TV it is now considered a media licence not a TV licence.
I assumed the first picture was to do with some show about trannies…
how patronising and RTEish is that first programme? fuppin hell.
Stars?
Nora patronising travellers, great concept will be success and sell in other markets, perhaps the UK versiob will be anne diamond mentoring four chav’s from Runcorn
Hello. I’m a middle aged, straight, settled, rarely controversial, ordinary guy. Could I have something to watch please.
Is Jennifer maguire the first women ever to get pregnant. There’s been more about her the last few days you’d swear she was.
First I’ve heard
