Broadsheet on the Telly did not broadcast last night due to unforeseen circumstances.

We are very sorry to viewers and our guests (Vanessa Foran, Johnny Keenan, new father Neil Curran. Olga Cronin, Tony Groves and Derek Mooney).

‘Preposterous’, who produces the show, fell into a deep sleep earlier in the evening and was impossible to contact. While in no mitigation the recent workload on the site with the disclosures tribunal and whatnot has left all of us dramatically pooped.

‘Preposterous’ is extremely apologetic and painfully embarrassed and will make it up to everyone next week.

Again, very sorry.

Last night: Broadsheet on the Telly

You are invited…

…to spend an hour in the company of a panel of your peers – real people NOT pundits – PLUS a special guest as they feast on the news of the week.

Broadsheet on the Telly returns tonight at 11pm streaming LIVE (above) and on our YouTube channel.

Matters possibly under discussion include the Budget fallout, Fianna Fáil and Harvey Weinstein.

Swearing unavoidable.

Sorry

A short introduction to the working life of Dun Laoghaire, County Dublin-based potter Helena Brennan as she celebrates her 75th year with an exhibition opening tonight.

Helena’s son Luke writes:

Both my parents were potters, my mother having her first exhibition with my late father in the Irish Times gallery in 1966. My mother is still making, 50 years on, I’m glad to say her work has only got more interesting.

Her exhibition is opening this evening at the Vintage Tea Pot Gallery, Number 8 Catherdral Street, Dublin 1. we’d be happy to invite anyone interested to come along.

My brother Fergal spent the summer making a short video (above) to introduce people to her work and…

 

…this is  myself Fergal in 1980, appearing on “Anything Goes”, it’s worth checking out if only for Aonghus McAnally’s hair at the end. I suppose were a sort of pottery Van Trapp family…
