Vincent Browne, 2nd Nov 2009

Vincent juggles firebreathing goldfish for an all UN-SecGeneral Panel. Or, as is more likely, some journalists and politicians. The fish thing is totally going to happen, though. Hashtag: #vinb

The Frontline, 2nd Nov 2009

A game of two halfs tonight: Firstly, Jack O’Connor of SIPTU, Fintan O’Toole, Susan Kelly (Tax consultant) and Moore McDowell (Economist who didn’t spot economy might collapse). Presumably the first two set upon the latter pair, with bets taken by an Indochinese bookie in the front row. Then an Interview with Noam Chomsky (linguistics expert and part time cultural critic). Pat will have been practicing his use of the phrase ‘But the reality is…’ all week. Hashtag: #rtefl

Bang! You’ve been hard-hitted. Hashtag: #rtefl

It’s a return to normality tonight. I’m back in my living room and the Vincent Browne studio is populated by people you might have heard of. Pat Rabbitte TD and Michael O’Regan from the Irish Times have a bit of a wander over the hundreds of amendments and fit-ups being made with tiny hammers to the NAMA Bill. Twitter Hashtag: #vinb

An unusual Vincent Browne liveblog tonight, as I’ll be on the panel. The topic, or one of them, will be newspapers in a time of Internet. Alexia Golez of election.ie is your host this evening. Hashtag: #vinb

It isn’t quite the all-opera special we’ve been looking for, but we’re edging closer to it. Tonight, Arthur Scargill, former President for Life of the National Union of Mineworkers and current head (and, who knows, possible only member) of the UK’s Socialist Labour Party joins Vincent. Expect the word ‘militancy’. Hashtag: #vinb

The Apprentice, 26th Oct 2009

#Breffneywatch continues. Can the BreffMonster survive another week of total non-achievement? Also, some other candidates do some stuff which makes it unlikely they’ll ever be hired for any job for the rest of their lives. Hashtag: #apprentice

The Late Late Show, 23rd Oct 2009

Donal Og, The Sawdoctors and Daniel O’Donnell are some of tonight’s guests on the Late Late.

Vincent Browne, 22nd Oct 2009

Making their points through the medium of competitive body popping on the topic of pending industrial unrest will be Kevin Callinan of IMPACT, Gerald Flynn and UCD economist Joe Durkan. Special Treat: Brenda Power will be on, with Nicola Mountford, to give us her thoughts on the papers. PLUS!: Will we hear VinB’s assessment of Bertie’s Buke? Hashtag: #vinb
