What did you think?
There’s something about a Toy Show in the middle of November that doesn’t quite seem right, but TV3 broadcast their edition tonight in an effort to get one up on the Late Late Show on RTE, which will be on the box next Friday night.
Former Rose of Tralee Maria Walsh was on hosting duties with Brian Ormond and, as you’d expect, there was a lot of toys, some outstanding performances from the kids and some celebrity guest appearances as well.
It will be a long time before it reaches the level of the Late Late Toy Show in terms of audience reach but there were a lot of people watching and to say the reaction on Twitter was mixed would be a dramatic understatement.
Well done to @TV3Ireland feeling very festive now after watching #TV3ToyShow great hosts @MariaWalshbiz & @brianormond79 🎅🎅🎅

#TV3ToyShow should've been called the TV3 singing and commercial break show. There's a disappointed 9 year old here.

Didn't think it was possible, but the TV3 Toy Show is worse than it was last year #shocking
