“The documentary which has reconstructed her violent death using lookalike actors also allows people who knew and worked with her to express how they felt she had been misrepresented as being hard and cold.”
Today’s Irish Mail on Sunday on TV3’s documentary, 24 Hours To Kill, to be shown on November 4.
Awww.
Taoiseach!
Really.
It’s unbecom….
…Hey, anyone else getting a smell of horseradish?
Broadsheet’s homme du jour, TV3’s meow-tastic Ben Frow.
Saucer of milk for table three.
He’s not paying.
Ben Frow, Director of programming at TV3, shot the breeze with The Sunday Times yesterday. And tore new ones for the following:
Ray Darcy: “I probably could have had Ray D’Arcy (for forthcoming TV3 dating show Take Me Out). Everyone can have Ray D’Arcy. But I didn’t want Ray D’Arcy. I wanted someone new.”
RTE personalities: “The place is swimming with people who used to be the face of RTE. I can go around scooping them up and giving them a second crack at the whip and I’m not saying I wouldn’t do that, but I think I have to find new faces.
TV3’s Take Me Out (see above) “A pretty trashy dating show, everyone’s guilty pleasure, a car crash alternative to the Late Late Show.”
Brendan O’Connor (on leaving TV3 for RTE): “he handled it very badly and very rudely, as far as I was concerned. He said: ‘RTE are sniffing around, I’d really like to stay with TV3, can we come to a deal?’ We had a agreed a deal. I have the emails saying he was happy with it. Then I had no contact for a week. I didn’t hear one word until one of the producers came in a said: ‘You’ve heard that Brendan is doing a chat show on RTE? It was announced this morning.’ It was disrespectful”
Crikey. And guess who he lunches with?

Oh.
Friday Interview: David McRedmond, CEO TV3 (Ciaran Hancock, Irish Times)
[smooth=id:24]
Yesterday at The Royal College of Physicians.
Put down your iPhone and imagine the TV Now Awards taking place during the daytime, in August, at a medical institution. You will be some way to picturing the glittering scenes in Dublin yesterday.
But why imagine when you only need to CLICK the ARROW and view a 26-shot gallery of the finest TV people not currently working for RTE. Enjoy.

Team ‘fyi’: Caroline Twohig, Paul Walsh and Cassie Stokes. It’s the news for people who don’t normally watch news but like hot people.
Ben Frow (crazy guy, great suit), TV3’s director of programming, with from left: Elsa Jones (How Healthy Are You), Beibhinn Byrne (Midday) and Geraldine O’Callaghan (The ‘We’re Not Sure Which Show’ Show).
This is part of the Frowmeister’s master plan (from TV3’s website and including snarky comments from the BS office):
Young, Dumb and Living off Mum. “Lazy, spoiled Irish teenagers are taken away from Mum and have to fend for themselves.” (A show about Karl and Nat? Surely not).
Roast It! Irish chef, Stuart O‘Keefe, fronts TV3’s first cooking show. (Hang on, that doesn’t sound too bad).
How Healthy Are You? Elsa Jones asks Ireland. (Not very, we reply).
Come Dine With Me Comes to Ireland (Finally). “Made by ITV for TV3, it comes complete with bad food, rude guests, hideous homes – and the iconic voice over of Dave Lamb”. (Wevs).
The Irish Celebrities You Love to Hate (Xpose, no? )
Celebrity Salon A”batch of new celebrities – this time running their own salon that’s open to the public”. (It’s already in receivership).
And “miss-matched celebrities get to know each other better as they travel across Ireland together in Driving Me Crazy. (Monkey Tennis on wheels)
PLUS
The Story of Children’s TV Bosco, Wanderly Wagon and a host of “childhood favourites”. (Unless, like us, you hated Bosco and the Wanderly massive).
More as we get it.

But Xpose’s Aisling O’Loughlin’s ‘twins’ were ample substitute.
Stop staring.
Not you, Ash. Them.
The ‘readers’.
