Background on the lads from www.rte.ie
Name: Padraig Judas O'Lepracy
Age: 54
Occupation: Illegal bicycle repairs, otherwise unemployable.
Physical Appearance: 4 foot 6 inches. Ageing and bloated, yet sprightly. Has managed to keep his bright red hair which is immaculately well groomed with 'Ballydung dolphin oil.' Podge is always well dressed, if a little frayed around the cuffs- his entire wardrobe is made up of 'dead men's clothes.' When at home he dons his smoking jacket and slippers. It's the Noel Coward look. Podge is never seen without his pipe.
How does Podge feel about the way he looks? Podge thinks he looks sharp and considers himself a bit of a lady-killer.
Childhood? Siblings- He was born two minutes before his identical twin brother Rodge and has therefore taken on the older sibling role.
Education: From the age of six they were not allowed out of the Asylum and got their education from a psychiatric nurse whom they called Granny, before she herself went insane. Podge is quite well read and would consider himself a bit of an intellectual.
Childhood activities: Pick pocketing, taxidermy and thieving from dead people.
Sex life and moral beliefs: A professional pervert.
Religious background and current religious beliefs: An avid member of the Church of the Dark Lord, which is the only Church in Ballydung.
Hobbies: Dolphin shooting, taxidermy and collecting 'arthouse' films.
Optimist or Pessimist: A definite pessimist. He is a miserable b****x, everything is a conspiracy and he resents other people's success, particularly when it comes to his brother Rodge.
What is Podge proud of: Everyone knows and respects Podge. Outwardly he appears to be a pillar of the community and he is proud of the respect he can command.
What is Podge ashamed of: He is ashamed that he never fulfilled any of his dreams and ambitions. He solely blames Rodge for holding him back all his life. He considers Rodge to be a noose around his neck. Podge is highly embarrassed by his brother's antics and has long ago grown tired of making excuses for him.
How intelligent is Podge: Very intelligent and very manipulative. He uses every trick in the book to get what he wants.
Name: Rodraig Spartacus O'Lepracy
Age: 54
Occupation: Illegal bicycle repairs and gut scraper in Ballydung meats. Currently long term unemployed.
Physical Appearance: Rodge has spiky unruly red hair. He wears combat jackets and overcoats which he'll happily sleep in. He is very scruffy, the opposite to Podge.
How does Rodge feel about the way he looks: Thinks he looks great - in fact he sees himself as Ballydung's answer to James Bond.
Childhood: Siblings- He was born a mere two minutes after his twin Podge, and has remained under his brother's shadow ever since.
Education: His brother taught him all he needs to know. In fact Podge made sure that Rodge never learnt too much for fear of losing control over his sibling.
Childhood activities: A peeping Tom, pick pocketing and pyromania.
Romantic life: Rodge is a romantic at heart. He always dreamed of finding the right woman, moving out of Ballydung Manor and settling down. But Podge will do anything and everything to ensure that this never happens.
Sex life and moral beliefs: Rodge is a compulsive fiddler and is constantly 'at' himself. He's not sure if he's actually ever slept with a woman or if it was just his highly sexed imagination.
Religious background and current religious beliefs: Altar boy for the Church of Satan.
Hobbies: Ladies bicycle saddle collecting, Monkey collecting-he has all 160 species of primate in the attic. Other hobbies include Dolphin shooting, cat shooting, dog shooting, shooting in general.
Optimist or Pessimist: Rodge is the eternal optimist and despite the constant putting down and holding back by Podge his enthusiasm never waifs.
What is Rodge proud of: Despite everything he is proud to be Podge's brother. He is his mentor. He is also very proud of his monkey 'children.'
What is Rodge ashamed of: Rodge is too stupid to be ashamed of anything.
How intelligent is Rodge: He's not very intelligent and is very easily led
have a look the interview on the site too:D
never really liked the other show they had - never sat down to watch it.
like the new show though - its the kind of show that was missing from rte - plus Lucy is fairly hot - i think she does good on the show - compliments podge and rog fairly well.
It's on RTÉ! :confused: :confused: :confused:Quote:

From the Sligo Champion:
The Sligo woman who has become the centre of RTE’s Podge and Rodge’s affection has made a plea to the bachelor duo to ‘come and get me.’
The characters of the comic hit show which is screened on RTE2 on Monday and Tuesday nights have spoken about how smitten they have become for Aine Chambers whose website featuring herself and scenic Sligo sights has been featured on recent episodes.
“I’d love to appear on the show. I’ve been a fan of Podge and Rodge for years,” said Aine.
Since her website has been featured by the caustic farmers, Aine has become something of a celebrity with thousands logging on to catch a glimpse of what Sligo has to offer.
Podge and Rodge’s latest feature on Aine resulted in an astonishing 45,000 hits on her website, www.sligozone.net yesterday (Tuesday).
While Podge and Rodge can be crude and their humour biting at times, Aine has taken it all in her stride.
“To be featured on Podge and Rodge is an honour for me really. They have given me so many laughs over the years that I don’t mind in the least being slagged off by them now,” said Aine.
She began her website eight years ago as a hobby which neatly combined two of her past-times, computers and photography.
“I was looking at other websites and I decided to set up my own and to feature Sligo on it,” she said.
Each week Aine features a different part of Sligo’s heritage and beauty having commenced with a page on the Abbey.
In the past two years, Aine has added video clips to her page which also features up to date news about Sligo.
On a normal day there would be 3,000 to 4,000 hits on her website but the figures have literally gone through the roof since it tickled the fancy of Rodge and Podge.
“Podge and Rodge have always been heroes of mine and it’s amazing really to be featured on their show,” she said.
And she wouldn’t have to think twice if offered a chance to appear alongside the brothers on the TV show co-hosted by Lucy Kennedy.
“I’d love to. I haven’t heard from them but I live in hope,” said Aine.
She also receives hundreds of e-mails a day which she attempts to reply to.
“At the moment because of the Podge and Rodge interest I’m getting so many e-mails that they are just backing up,” she said.
While she admits she’s receiving a lot of attention she points out that Sligo is also getting a lot of promotion.
“Sligo is such a beautiful county and I’m only too happy to promote it,” said Aine who works a nightshift in a local factory.
She funds the website herself and never expected it would become so successful.
“When I started it only got a couple of hundred hits a day but It’s so popular at the moment. I’m receiving e-mails from all around the world,” she said.
And in her hometown she is also becoming more recognisable.
“Everyone is so positive and I’m so glad to be able to continuing promoting a county I love so well,” she said.
So are the numbers climbing through the top of her house then. How do people (and I know you didn't write it Sligoman) fail to understand the meaning of the word literally?Quote:

cant wait for the Bogmannay special!
They've had it released on Demonoid recently, but they closed it to the public :(
How good does Amanda Brunker look presenting it! :eek:
She's after losing some amount of weight and she looks savage!
Does any one over the age of 14 still watch this show? Seems like the joke ended a couple of years ago.
I've given up on it too. Only watched 5mins of it the other night cause there was nothing else on.
yeah, there was a documentary a few years ago on BBC2 about the rise and fall of the lads mag. FHM, Maxim and Loaded were among the biggest selling magazines in the world in the late 90's. Then competitors like Stuff, Gear, Front, etc came in an stole a lot of their readership. On top of that the guys that had bought them in the early 20's got into their late 20's and 30's, and all that comes with it (mortgage, family, etc) and stopped buying the mags. So they started targeting a younger audience with shorter articles, and less of them. And using "dude" a lot.
Now, since the likes of GQ and Mens Health are outselling them, they've brought in a "nipple ban" so the models aren't entirely naked, and more articles about money, health, etc, to try and bring back the audience they originally had.
All of which is just spin, seeing as how FHM and Loaded own Zoo and Nuts.
The first season of podge and rodge was good because they caught people off gaurd but now every one going on it knows whats going to happen and P&R will just make mickey jokes all night, Flickes over to see that page 3 bird claire tully on it had to turn it off it was so bad.
To answer my own question - apparently a lot of people watch this as it was 2nd most popular RTE 2 show the week before last. Katherine Lynch's rubbish was 5th.
:rolleyes:
Ray Houghton was on recently...
I used to download this show but then it got old and now its not available for download. However, I would like to see Razor on it (I have Big Jack, McAteer, and Cascarino on my computer)
http://www.rte.ie/tv/thepodgeandrodgeshow/video.html
If someone could please download the clip to IVR in Real Player and send it to me it'd be much appreciated, its not viewable outside of Ireland :mad:
Mary McEvoy, Donna McCaul, Blath Ni Chough?? Don't think so.Quote:

Can't believe it's still goign.
pure ****e
As mentioned above the 1st and possibly the 2nd series were good as most of the guests were not expecting the dirty and cheeky jokes from a couple of puppets(also outakes on the dvds were class). But it has long since died a death and it also commited the sin of convincing the Irish public that Lucy Kennedy is a good presenter.
The same puppets that did Zig & Zag several moons ago. :o
Langerland.tv has overtaken it on the laughometer.
Loaded at the top of it's game in the mid nineties was better than any of them. Smart enough to be self depricative and mindful of it's raison d'etre* without any of the pretense of the likes of GQ or FHM.
Some of the regular features like P0rn-a-likes/Celebrity Shags were absolutely hilarious. (anyone remember Gazza taking Ruby Wax up the jacksy while Phil Collins keeps her quiet?:eek::D)
*my personal favourite (on several levels) was a topless spread and interview, on location in the Australian outback, with a very pretty idiot who used be in neighbours in the early nineties (she was Annaleese' sister).
The articles title ..."Picnic at Banging C0ck"
:D
Caroline Morohan is a plank. And i thought Lucy Kennedy was bad :eek:
