You give us 120 minutes.
We give you two hours of quality chat.
Broadsheet on the Telly returns tonight at 10pm streaming LIVE (above) and on our YouTube channel.
Join a panel of your peers with an adult beverage as we celebrate our 40th episode.
Matters under discussion will include the possible removal of Tánaiste Frances Fitzgerald (top with Taoiseach Leo Vardkar) and an insight from Olga into the latest bungling in the Maurice McCabe saga.
‘Blue’ and/or unacceptable language (including words such as ‘fuck’, bollocks’ and ‘twinkle-pooty’) may ensue.
Sorry.

Testing.
Are you replacing a broadcast quality microphone?
We are on the lookout for a reasonably-priced, job lot (if possible) of decent second hands mics for panelists and guests on Broadsheet on the Telly (often beset by audio ‘issues’). Contact Bodger at broadsheet@broadsheet.ie. Thanks.

Ken writes:
“We told them it was on a floodplain but they ignored us. We pointed out that the site was listed as such on the Government website floodmaps.ie and they said sure we’ll make them put in a tank.
“Meath County Council have a lot of questions to answer. €500,000 for a five-bed and situated near two rivers and a canal. Free swimming pool on rainy days.”
Anyone?

ELC – Don’t Cry For Christmas
It’s for charidee.
Suzanne Doyle writes:writes:
A former Sales Executive, Author and HR Guru, who were bandmates in the 70s, have reunited 40 years later with a special Christmas song to help raise funds for cancer research.
Don’t Cry for Christmas by Irish/Scottish Band EL C (pronounced Elsie) is inspired by the personal experiences of the three band members, whose families have been touched by cancer.
The band members, Ian McConnell, who has lost two wives to this disease, most recently his wife Katherine last January, Gordon Kerr and Iain Macdonald have been very encouraged by the strong support for their fundraising endeavours.
The song can be purchased here
All proceeds going to the Irish Cancer Society in Ireland and Cancer Research UK.
