    I like the panel. Think it is the funniest thing RTE have done, by a mile. Some of the stuff on Nighthawks used to be OK. THe 60's RTE continuity annoucer for instance. (Blaithin ?)

    Yeah, I remember that Bill. (Storrree John) Funny stuff alright. Paul Tylak was the other guy. It wasn't a show in it's own right, if my memory serves me right. It was an insert into another programme. (Was it Nighthawks ?)

    yeah it was Paul Tylak - apologies.....decent comedian in his own right. It was part of one of the programmes were rte tried to get a whole years worth of "yoof" progamming into an hour. presented by that ruane guy who used to do the saturday morning thing. name of it totally escapes me....The show was pretty rubbish but you would watch it just for Flatheads.....

    Anyone recall Perfidia? I think it used to be on The End when RTE experiemented with having late night TV.
    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

    Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!
