Madam, - "Beyond acceptable standards" is how the Broadcasting Complaints Commission describes Tommy Tiernan's appearance on the Late Late Show last October. Perhaps it could extend that honour to the Late Late Show itself.
The latest instalment, featuring an incoherent Brigitte Nielsen and an inane Amanda Byram, merely charts the further decline of a once great programme, now hosted by one with all the wit, charm and sex appeal of a digestive biscuit, who seems to have an extraordinary ability to continually find the utter dregs of Irish and international "entertainment" and display them without any sense of shame.
Suddenly, Eamon Dunphy seems like a great idea again. - Yours, etc.,
EDWARD COLLINS, Galway.
