I don't want to oversell this but....this might be the best news we've had all year.
RTÉ One is set to screen a three-part documentary all about Ireland's biggest night in television. We're talking about The Late Late Toy Show. Yes, we viewers are about to get unprecedented access to how the magic is made. Fingers crossed we get a sneak peek of Tubs' Christmas Jumper!
The documentary was announced as Tubridy auditioned young performers in Galway today. Filming began across Ireland this week as show tours the country in search of talented young singers, musicians, and dancers. The Late Late Toy Show Unwrapped sees cameras follow the performers right from the very start of the process, through the nerve-wracking auditions to preparations for the big night itself.

Series producer Hillary Jones said:
“For the children auditioning this is a once in a lifetime experience. We’re aiming to give viewers a real insight in how the biggest night on Irish television comes together by following some of the little stars auditioning to take part and going behind the scenes with the team who put the show together ”.
The Late Late Toy Show host Ryan Tubridy said:
“The reaction we have been getting as we travel the country has been tremendous and we are finding some brilliant little performers. I don’t envy the Toy Show producers – they are going to have a very difficult time picking the acts that will join us on the big night”.
The documentary will be screened in the week before this year's The Late Late Toy Show as we countdown to the big night. This year The Late Late Toy Show airs on RTÉ One on Friday, December 2nd. Get the kettle and the endless boxes of chocolate ready.
