Shelley Conn Gets RAW... RTE has gone all-out with steamy new restaurant drama 'RAW' with hot actresses Shelley Conn and Charlene McKenna giving the lads a reason to tune-in too. It's about time our National broadcaster broke away from safe programming and sexed things up a bit with a contemporary series. Bravo. Shelley Conn Last Saturday night saw a bit of RAW talent hanging out at The Tubridy Tonight show with Mistresses actress Shelley Conn and Breakfast on Pluto actress Charlene McKenna snuggling up the famous Chesterfield couch. We like these two cheeky lasses. Shelley Conn Charlene and Shelley were there to promote their new RAW drama series which is making Irish headlines for storylines including girl-on-girl action and lots of sex scenes featuring the attractive young actors. With a large ensemble cast of British and Irish talent, RAW is a brave new direction for RTE which we applaud. Big question is will RAW get commissioned for a second run now that the channel is making big cuts? We hope so, but if the viewing figures don't hit the mark we suspect the axe will fall. Aiden Quinn, Marian Quinn Also out at Tubridy was Hollywood heartthrob Aiden Quinn and his sister Marian Quinn. The Irish American siblings were on the chat show to promote their movie '32A' which Marian wrote and directed and Aiden starred in...

Get a different job, travel to a different job or re-train. See the current situation at Aer Lingus for example. Then again, rte should just cut the amount of hours they broadcast if they can't afford it. Very simple. Joe – Dublin October 03, 2008 - 08:59 RTE have been sponging off the Irish Public for too long. Poor people have to pay for a TV License so that RTE can pay Gay Byrne a retainer of €250,000 a year for doing nothing. TV3 is License Free and doing a much better job. I just find it ridiculous the notion that you have to pay a License Fee to support a Station that most people dont watch and if you dont pay you go to Jail where the Taxpayers have to pay to keep you locked up. Wouldn't the money be better spend supporting Local Programming than providing Welfare to the Civil Servants at RTE? Model A1 October 01, 2008 - 22:05 Pure Mule - class RAW - class Podge & Rodge - class Tubridy Tonight - class Katherine Lynch - class Dan & Becs - class The Panel - class The Tudors - class Get RID of the rest. Ciara – Limerick October 01, 2008 - 15:44 I've a better idea for RTE ;get rid of Pat Kenny !1 million saved put the money into proper Irish drama like RAW ,Pure Mule, etc proves that good home grown drama can be made, Fair City is on too many times in the week anyway ,many of the storylines are too drawn out its getting boring how many of you like the new opening theme tune etc its really bad! Its a pity Paul O'Connor October 01, 2008 - 14:32 Read the papers they said RTE losing lots of millions in ad revenue due to recession doom & gloom. Usual old shiite. AXE Fair City and do all a favour. Jen – Dublin October 01, 2008 - 14:08 That is true M&M. Sad but true :) I was not aware of the whole RTE shambles..losing millions??? M&M – Spar October 01, 2008 - 11:08 there isn't enough work for Irish actors in Ireland. we need things like RAW & THE TUDORS to put bread on the table. Sadly THE TUDORS will get axed now that Jonny is leaving and so will RAW coz rte are losing millions. the outlook doesnt look good for Irish talent.
