RTÉ Television has announced a feast of festive programming for viewers to enjoy over Christmas.
Some of Ireland's top television and comedy talent has been invited to provide a lift and plenty of laughs this Christmas.
Glen Killane, MDTV, RTÉ said; "Following the phenomenal success of The Late Late Toy Show, I’m proud to unveil such a strong and varied Christmas schedule full of quality home-produced programming in such challenging economic times."
The 'Republic of Telly' comes over all festive with a celebrity-packed version of The Wizard of Oz, as Dermot Whelan's Dorothy searches over the rainbow for a way back to Limerick City.
While in 'Wagons' Den' the girls take a seasonal take-down on the world of celebrity gossip, showbiz news and star-licious scandal.
Other new specials to be unwrapped over the Christmas season include a seasonal edition of 'The Saturday Night Show' on the 18th December, and a special Christmas Eve edition of 'The Late Late Show'.
In addition to this lots of brand new home-produced factual, entertainment, lifestyle, drama and sports programming will be delivered, as well as special seasonal versions of viewer favourites and the best Irish and international movies.
