Jedward 'so excited' about Toy Show
Thursday 26 November 2009
Speaking to Will Leahy on RTÉ 2fm yesterday, Edward said: "Aw yeah, the 'Toy Show', we're so excited, like we're going to be on the 'Toy Show'. We look at it every single year."
"It's kind of cool because it's Ryan Tubridy's first show and it's going to be really memorable."

Speaking about their new-found fame, he said: "The last time we left Ireland... no-one knew who we were and then when we came back everyone was like 'whoah John and Edward'... now we don't have to introduce ourselves because everyone knows us."
Speaking about the audience members who booed them during their time on the show, Edward said: "There was so much fan support out there that we couldn't let that get to us because thousands of people auditioned for the show and we didn't want to let people bully us off stage because they were booing us."
Referring to their hairstyle choice, John said: "We never knew there was going to be such a major thing about it. It was always around... I think a lot of people could have our hair, just gel up their hair instead of having it down."
When asked if they ever argued, he said: "The thing about me and Edward is that we never fight or have any rows because if we ever had a row I'd just be arguing with myself because he's my twin."
John also said that they would love to see Stacey Solomon winning the show.
"I think we'd love it if Stacey won the show... because I feel that she's a genuine person and she knows who she is and she's the same off camera and on camera and I feel that she does a great performance every single week."

- The Real Mr & Mrs Assad: Channel 4 Dispatches
Channel 4 Dispatches reveals a portrait of a golden couple who have become global hate figures. The programme shows intimate footage of President Bashar al-Assad and his wife Asma as they've never been seen on British television before, and images that help explain why the West bought the idea they were true modernisers. When Bashar took the reins of power after his father's death in 2000, the West was drawn into a hope and belief that Syria would be a new force for change in the Middle East. The Assads were seen as a glamorous couple with modern Western morals and values; he was hailed a reformer, she was the 'Rose of the Desert'. Key leaders and figures in the West welcomed the young couple, convinced that the softly spoken London-trained ophthalmologist and his beautiful British-born former investment banker wife would bring reform and modernisation to a country that had been run by an iron-fisted dictator for nearly 30 years. But it seems the West was duped. Instead of a transparent and progressive leadership, what has emerged during a year-long bloody uprising is evidence of the regime's gross systematic human rights abuses, including widespread killings and torture, while the Assads look on. Channel 4 Dispatches investigates the extent of the Assad family's culpability and the chains of command that link the President and select inner circle to the brutal crackdown.

- Afghanistan: The Great Game - A Personal View By Rory Stewart
Afghanistan: one of the most isolated and barren landscapes on earth is a strange place for an empire or superpower to invade. But for three of the greatest powers the world has seen, it became an unlikely target and an enduring obsession. The 19th century British invasions into Afghanistan, immortalised by Rudyard Kipling as "The Great Game", ended in huge loss of life and British retreat, and set a template for the perils of incursion in this mountainous country. In this two-part series, author, journalist and former Deputy Governor during the coalition's occupation of Iraq, Rory Stewart MP travels to Afghanistan to uncover the fears, the paranoia and perceived threats that led three very different Ssperpowers: Britain, Russia and the United States into Afghanistan from the 19th century to the present day.
