Here’s how you can watch the Late Late Toy Show from outside Ireland

There's just a few hours to go.

The Late Late Toy Show - which is basically the unofficial start of the Christmas season - returns to our screens tonight. Tens of thousands of families across the country, young and old, are going to be gathering together tonight to as the festive special begins. But it's not going to be viewers in Ireland tuning in tonight, as the folks behind the Christmas extravaganza have made sure that nobody is going to have Toy Show-related FOMO.

A spokesperson for RTÉ said:

"No matter where you are The Late Late Toy Show will be available to watch worldwide for free, both live and on demand for up to 30 days, on RTÉ Player across Desktop, iOS and Android. "Last year the show was viewed live in over 100 countries outside of Ireland.
