Good
Ye remembered it’s Doctor
Gavin Jennings
That’s how the BBC killed off John Peel, they couldn’t sack him so they changed his broadcasting hours around, getting him up early in the am etc and eventually he had a heart attack…
Whoa there Miss Marple.
I wonder will he still be on telly money?
Harder job on morning Ireland I’d say. Reading the news is like falling off a log, but interviews are tougher….and so early!
I like the Dobser. Professional broadcaster.
Give him a try out first. He should stand in for Ronan Collins while he’s ill. Wonder what Dobs playlists are like.
*ill* playing golf you mean……..one of RTE’s cleverest
That new presenter looks about 10 to me. I’m obviously getting very old.
“special state events including the forthcoming Budget 2018”
Is Budget 2018 a state event? Like will there be a wreath laying in Glasnevin for it and all?
