    I agree Mer, except that Vincent Brown doesn't just bore me - he annoys the living daylights out of me. I change channels whenever he comes on.

    He is a cantankerous old fart! He is never happy! He acts like he's a socialist when clearly his bread is buttered on the other side.

    I admire him - he was the only journalist who asked awkward questions of Bertie and Brian Cowen (that press conference is classic!). Enda is scared of him - remember the empty chair?

    I think that the panels on his show are often, not always, way better than anything RTE offer.

    As a bonus, Mario Rosenstocks's impersonations are hilarious.

    Do I find his coughing, slightly distracted and overly outraged style a bit tired? Yes.

    Is there a better alternative? Not in my opinion. RTE tried with a programme on rte2, can't remember the name it but it was the one where Dunphy (aka rent a mouthy knob) lost the head with a girl for being sexist, and it was pure sh*te,

    And, for what it is worth I no longer watch the show. When you have genuine experts (e.g. Constantine Gordiyev sp? - to lazy to look it up but a TCD economics expert [again Mario Rosenstock captured him brilliantly!]) telling you night after night just how fu**ed we all are it gets a bit depressing.

    But for insightful analysis of the economic mess we are in his show has been hugely important and tells a very different story to the 'official line' you hear on RTE.

    If I see the likes of Maureen Gaffney, however, I soon change channel.


    More media analysis tomorrow ...
