Brendan facilitating Paul Howard and that little old hunchback Chris De Burgh back slapping and kissing each other’s arses and massaging each other’s egos was nauseating in the extreme. I expected better from Paul Howard. Superficiality at its best. 🙄

Generally a good mix of contributors to the newspaper panel but Brendan constantly feels the need to limit what guests can say or to dilute what they’ve said. ‘To be fair’, let’s be careful now’ All in all, one of the better shows

The Sunday show is dreadful. Time to re-vamp the time slot with a new show and a new presenter and production team. I didn’t think it could get any worse but…
The Brenda Fricker interview was excellent and redeeming for the failing show.
