This week saw comedian Joanne McNally and Stephen Fry join the show.
Joanne was as funny as ever as she appeared in studio as a superhero named Captain Sarcastic. Stephen Fry later joined the how via Zoom at the end of the show, where he discussed Harry Potter, tried out the Noggin rap, and shot the shit with Dustin the Turkey.

Viewers were, understandably, loving the show and took to Twitter last night to express their delight that it's finally back on the air.
Writer and journalist Stefanie Preissner tweeted: "Lads #theden is my new favourite weekly appointment," while author Paul Howard wrote: "Bringing back The Den was one of the best ideas anyone has ever had ever."

This week's episode also saw the star of SuperValu's emotional Christmas ad, Cian Kearney, interviewed about his role in the advert.The difference between kids on #theden now and the kids on The Den in the 90s is something else. Now they’re all showbiz and extroverted. In the 90s, they were all so crippled with the fear of notions, you thought they were gonna collapse in on themselves.

The show also featured a live on air surprise with a grandma named Patricia, who received a Zoom call with her seven grandchildren from all over the world. The episode also featured a live performance from The Mary Wallopers - and Dustin even sang along with them!
One thing is for sure, we can't wait to see what they have in store for next week's episode.Explore more on these topics:
