Variety, Dec 7th, 2004

 

Word has reached our Entertainment Correspondant (J*e E***ot), of a new ratings busting tv show about to be produced by Tape/Plook Records. Hot on the heals of BBC's Strictly Ballroom, AGOFR's very own CJ and Ken have devised a money making show called Strictly Avante Gaelic.

 

A select bunch of F list celebrites ( Co**n Os*ia*, Sa**y M*th****, J*hn Sc**** etc) are invited to write an AGOFR song every week in the company of the stars of the AGOFR world (Roddy Rev, etc). Their efforts are then judged by CJ, Ken, Noel Eddie and Calum Kennedy. The celebrity with the least votes gets the heave. It is expected that top gaelic commedian Norman MacLean will perform the Bruce Forsyth role as compere.

 

Watch out for the show on TeleG (probably) on Freeview (2.30am - 3.15am on alternate Tuesdays in February)
