I like a good comedy programme like '7 Days'.
A man walking down Duke Street carrying a bunch of flowers gives his response to the question,
Mainly current affairs like 'Wanderly Wagon.'
Finally, a man locking his car outside a newsagent struggles to recall an RTÉ programme. Then he spots the name on the shopfront behind him,
Would you believe 'Newsbeat’, I got it!'
