SURE, WE COULD have asked this question last week – but we thought it might be fairer to give Ray a week or so to ‘bed in’ to his high-profile Saturday night slot.

It’s probably still a little less-than-fair to ask it after show number two… After all Ryan’s been presenting weekend chat shows on RTÉ for years, and D’Arcy’s a relative newcomer (then again, it’s not like he’s been digging canals for the last 20 years and suddenly been shoved, blinking, into the TV spotlight).

Anyway (wow, that was a long preamble) – whose show was better this weekend?

Poll Results:

I didn't see them both so I can't judge. (7582)

Ryan. (3381)

I sold my TV after Brendan O'Connor left. (3198)
