Celebrity Banister
March 29, 2008I don’t think i’ve ever been as excited about a reality show. RTé’s latest celebrity mashup features well-known stars and follows them as they struggle to make it in the high pressured world of stair-railings. Each week the celebrity’s will battle it out to see who is the best banister, having to put up with such challenges as “The Teenager Who Slides Down On His Arse” and “Carrying the overweight granny in the stair-master”. The Judging panel will feature the usual fucking nonsense, some bit of eye candy, someone vaguely connected with the task at hand, and some grumpy square-headed cunt who thinks they are clever.
Contestants will include an Irish Model no-one outside the offices of the Sunday Independent has ever heard of, some vaguely well known chef and someone who once walked around in the background of one scene in Fair City.

I’ve just been made aware of the existence of a show on rte called celebrity bainisteoir. I’m relieved – I thought you’d gone absolutely mental!
Haha…yes, Ja. I could see why it would be odd…
When are we launching it on the Late Late?
I dunno yet Pat, there’s logistical problems getting all those banisters in the studio.
We made room for Katherine Lynch to serenade me.
We can make room for this.
