My dad was a cork man and he had a great sense of humour.

[@annewhite9850]

This reminds me of my Irish parents and friends they just adored the craic and a singsong I’m in the UK born but Irish bred. This is so healthy for mental health I miss those days God bless them.

[@jeanier7185]

GOLD!God Bless Ireland. I wish I could have lived there during this time. Still love to visit nevertheless, the craic is GOLD.

[@deadpanbarry5442]

😊 To get this kind of humour these days you have to stay far away from city's especially Dublin. If you like good food Cork is the place to be.... Late August into September is our summer and bring light rain gear just in case..... No such thing as bad Weather just badly prepared people...👌😉 🍺🍻

love this.. Ireland will never be the same.. im sixty and they for me were the good old days... not perfect by any means... but great memories.. god bless.. great video..

[@Hibernia63]

This was so nice to find. I have been living out of Ireland for over 10 years and the thing I miss most is the Craic. I miss the singing and joking and entertaining stories, the Irish sense of humour in general. No other nation has such a great sense of fun as us Irish. It breaks my heart now when I look at the news about Ireland and what has happened to my beautiful country.

What a marvelous show!!!!

[@55ablebof]

Just stumbled upon this. Wonderful talent from the past. Different humour then, developed for variety shows of the time. All at the top of their game including Gaybo. All sadly gone from us. This was when Saturday night viewing was at its peak. Parkinson on BBC at this time was outstanding.

[@brucedanton3669]

You are so right-and Parkinson then on BBC1 was outstanding too. Thank you anyway!!

I thought it was a great show when I saw it in 1982 and I was right. Thanks for the memory.

This could be shown on RTE some night during these long winter evenings. It would be much more entertaining than all the" Re[eat " Programmes we have to watch e.g. Mrs Brown's Boys, etc. Good entertaining without the use of foul language and violence that is on our screens on a regular basis.

I agtee 100% with you I am in my early forties but have very fond memories of watching this circa 83 onwards., Take care 👍

[@brucedanton3669]

You are so right there really too-alas of course. Television these days seems so vacuous really in a way at times alas. Here in Britain BBC and ITV along with all the other channels there are seem to show a right load of crap-for want of a word-at times. Mrs Brown's Boys is shown here also but at the same time there are some real gems on at times also. A sign of the times perhaps?

[@Lar308]

God it makes me sad watching all the old Late Late shows. All those lovely people and many of them now dead. Especially my parents who wound have loved that show and I am sure they were watching.

This was true entertainment which is hard to get nowadays. Reminds me of my childhood when the late late was on Saturday nights.

[@SavoPaddy]

It became very easy/fashionable to dismiss Gay Byrne as an anachronism/fuddy duddy later in his career but he was a hell of a broadcaster, very nuanced, and well ahead of his time.

[@brucedanton3669]

Although this was not shown here in Britain as far as I know, I do remember Niall Tobin the actor, being in the series Ballykissangel, which was shown on a Sunday night here on BBC1 between 1996 and 2001 and in Ireland too on RTE at the time. He played one of the priests. That was a great series of course, we liked it here a lot. Filmed in Avoca in County Wicklow, had some great episodes too. Thank you and well done too!!

[@brucedanton3669]

Thank you for that!

[@johnking5174]

The Late Late Show with Gay Byrne was aired on Channel 4 in an edited version on Monday afternoons from 1984 to 1996

[@brucedanton3669]

@@johnking5174 Yes that I remember too. I remember seeing it in the listings for Channel 4 first in the TV Times and later in the Radio Times when of course they were able to publish their schedules from March 1991 onwards. I think I may have recorded it at the time on the VHS tapes we had here then and we saw it later on, although I am not too sure on that really alas now then.

[@vitalcomputing6298]

God it's amazing the change in Irish society in just a few years... You would hardly see one person over 50 on any of Irish talk shows nowadays, never mind the full panel.. Instead of being personality driven, it's all about some 19 year old reality star trying to flog their book. Kind of sad really.

[@richardoneill4314]

Vital Computing too right more shows like this are required and I am sure just like father ted this kind of show would go down very well in the uk You will have to get past those who think it portrays Irish in not so good a light But that is complete rubbish says a cork man himself working in the uk for over thirty years A true Irishman or woman has the ability to laugh at themselves Trump is changing the US by his presidency time to take back our cultural humour and portray it for everyone to see Great show

I met Jo Mc & the band when i was 7. Back in Dan Kiley's dance hall in Ballybunion. And every one of the big show bands of the day. My mother & my second cousin's ( Johnny Barrett the one h only rip) his wife Ann, ran the kitchen doing the chicken supper. I had to bring up the drinks too the bands. And before packing up his drums, Jo Mc sat me down & showed me a bite of drumming, something to this day I've never forgotten. Sat around with the] The wolfe tones, Chieftains,Dunliners, Big Tom, Ian Dury & the Blockheads ( Hit me with your rhythm stick juila) hit song]. Sat across the table in the kitchen eating burgers & chips at 2am with Brendan Grace, still telling jokes. Too many to remember now. But if think of all the grates of the 60s 70s and 80s. That filled dance halls up & down the length of Ireland. That was my childhood summers. Now when i think about it, it was a fantastic childhood Hanging around with I suppose you can say " Supper starts " of the that time. ❤️🇮🇪

Wouldnt be a bad idea for the late late to get out of Dublin n do a few shows a year from Limerick, Galway, Belfast, etc.

They did that under the arse hole Tubridy and the places he went to didn't really want him there. Also RTE is now in a financial mess, they can barely do any outside broadcasts.

Studio 1 at RTE in Dublin, just the regular Late Late Show studio. RTE were never going to spend money going to Cork back then. RTE was near bankrupt by 1982.
