They should show that documentary about Gaza that won a BAFTA.

I hope they win, I heard they’re singing about a horse.

I love the Eurosong competition. I just can’t wait. What time is it now?

This should just be on a loop for the whole night of the contest.

I remember on Xmas Eve one year, might have been around 2010, RTE 1 was showing Midnight Mass live from somewhere, maybe St. Patrick’s Cathedral.

At the same time RTE 2 was showing the Fr. Ted Xmas Special.

Who says RTE doesn’t cater to the whole community?
