Last week was a salutary lesson in hubris. No man, alone, could liveblog the carousel of light entertainment that is the Late Late Show. But, just maybe, I might be able to get by part of the way with the sound off.
Kathryne Thomas is on Late Late. I flick on the sound. She reveals that she and Pat have same hairdresser. Interview revolves around her going brunette.
Pat sounds like he's in a circle of hell.
Now she's plugging a book. What on earth could she have to say?
Ah. Apparently she did it to celebrate being alive.
I need to know the name of this book now.
Called Off the Beaten track.
Some quotes from the Indo:I'm a big fan of Michael Palin and I want to bring the same in-depth approach to my book.
Some quotes: On the travel show you have to tell a story in seven minutes," she says, "so there's not enough time to go into detail
Sample in-depth story: my producer Kate Meehan was in severe pain with a wisdom tooth and we were a very, very long way from a dentist.
Now BoyZone. Eyes crossing, even with the sound off.
Good god, Pat's been talking to Boyzone forever now.
They had to stand on the stage throughout.
No seats for the entertainment.
A quiz of some sort.
We're back. Some sort of extended intro.
I've no idea who this Glammy Mammy woman is. Is she a soap actress? Sound on for clues.
I see. Sound back off. She is a woman who has sex with young men.
How long could this interview last? What can Pat be asking?
The audience! We've gone to the audience.
Baldies clearly trying to shout out their phone numbers or similar.
I knew it
Woman seemingly trying to pimp her mother(?) sitting beside her.
Nodding in response to comments from a woman who looks like a Winning Streak contestant. These are clearly censorious.
Squinting man looks unimpressed.
This woman is a very calm media performer. I wonder what her background is?
We're all done with the Glammy Mammy.
Whoever this band is, the teen girls in the audience are delighted.
Men in hats. Sound on for a moment to assess audio output.
Unremarkable. Sound back off again.
Songs last a long time when you have to watch them with the sound off.
What would RTE do for music visuals if all the blue lights in the world vanished?
Is the desk is too tall for Pat? He's looking a little bit Junior Infants behind it tonight.
Some form of band banter. Mute button how I do love thee.
Young things on telly now.
Alexia, can you elaborate?
