Seoige
Seoige is an Irish television chat show. It was hosted by sisters Gráinne and Síle Seoige and was broadcast live on weekdays at 4.30 pm on RTÉ One between 2006 and 2009, with a hiatus in the summer months. Episodes were repeated at 8.20 the following weekday morning on the same channel.[citation needed]
The programme was originally launched in 2006 as Seoige and O'Shea presented by Gráinne Seoige and Joe O'Shea. It followed a similar format to ITV's This Morning programme. Moving between serious issues and lighter subjects, content included interviews, debates and musical performances. Viewers could call, text, or e-mail the programme to give their opinions on topics. The presenters chatted with four sets of guests, which consisted of interviewees, discussion groups, and musical artists.[citation needed]
The show was rebranded Seoige in August 2008 after Joe O'Shea announced he was leaving RTÉ to pursue a career in radio broadcasting. RTÉ announced on 21 April 2009 that the show would be cancelled and that the last show would air on Friday, 24 April 2009. A new series was not commissioned for the autumn of 2009.
The first series began on 9 October 2006 and ran until 20 April 2007. In the series, Seoige and O'Shea ran a short story and photography competition. The top 14 writers were published in a book entitled Do The Write Thing.[citation needed]
The winner, Ellen McCarthy, from Waterford was signed by Poolbeg publishers and her debut novel, Guarding Maggie was released on 2 May 2008. Following positive reaction to the book, McCarthy's second novel, Guilt Ridden was released in January 2009.
The second series began on 1 October 2007 and ran until 18 April 2008. In this series, the programme included a new look and added a live studio audience. There were also a number of new features. Relative Values looked at the family life of some of the nation's stars, Home Values toured the homes of some of Ireland's celebrities, and Money Matters offered solutions to money worries. There was also a regular travel segment and a weekly feature concerning psychics. There was a daily feature – Talking Point – where social issues were discussed. Following the success of the Do The Write Thing competition, Seoige and O'Shea began to host their own book club. On Wednesday, a well-known personality introduced a favourite book and was joined by a book club to review the week's chosen books. On Friday, there were musical performances and a segment where a panel of previewers informed viewers about the entertainment, music, and sport events taking place around the country at the weekend.
The third series began in October 2008 and saw Síle Seoige replace Joe O'Shea as co-presenter.
Guests on the first two series of the show included:
