We’re not too fussed about this week’s Late Late lineup

Graham it is, so.

We've got extra reason to watch this week's Late Late Show

In for the night?

Us too, but we don’t think we’ll be sticking RTÉ 1 on the telly.

This week’s Late Late Show lineup has been revealed and it wouldn’t be our cup of tea, though some viewers might enjoy it.

There aren’t any major international guests on this week’s show. Instead, Ryan will be chatting to Irish people from different walks of life.

Golfer Pádraig Harrington is set to make an appearance. He’ll be on to chat about his career and why he still loves the game.

Also due on the couch is Barry Cummins of RTÉ’s Prime Time, who has reported on cases of missing people in Ireland.

He’ll be joined by family member of missing people Deirdre Jacob, Fiona Sinnott and Cathal O’Brien, who’ll discuss why they haven’t given up hope of finding their loved ones.

Irish siblings Joan Freeman and Theresa Lowe will be on to talk about their lives and careers.

Joan is the founder of mental health and suicide charity Pieta House while Theresa found fame in the 1990s presenting gameshow Where in the World? on RTÉ in the 1980s and 90s and is now a practising barrister.

Christy Dignam and Billy McGuinness of Aslan will also be on the show.

They’ll be appearing to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the band’s hit album, Feel No Shame and will also perform some tracks from the record.

Christy’s last Late Late performance, in January of 2017, went down a storm so that might be something worth tuning in for.

Singer Mary Coughlan is going to be on the show too.

We reckon we’ll have to give it to Graham this week. He’ll have Liam Neeson, Helen Mirren and Jamie Dornan on his BBC One show.
