Patrick
Kielty Almost Live returns for a fifth series
Funnyman
Patrick Kielty makes a welcome return to Belfast and 大象传媒 ONE in
the New Year for a fifth series of the highly acclaimed chat show,
Patrick Kielty Almost Live.
The
series kicks off on Friday 10 January at
10.35pm on 大象传媒 ONE for a ten week run.
The
show, recorded in front of a studio audience in Belfast, will feature
an eclectic mix of celebrity guests, topical satire and outside
broadcasts in true Kielty style.
Patrick's
guests are well-known names plucked from the world of entertainment,
music, sport and politics.
Rupert
Everett, Nicole and Natalie Appleton, Holly Valance, Suede, Harry
Enfield, Eddy Irvine, Gordon Ramsey and Peter Kay are just a few
of the names who joined Patrick in Belfast during the last series
earlier this year.
Mike
Edgar, Head of Entertainment and Events, 大象传媒 Northern Ireland said:
"It's
been a fantastic year for Patrick. The last series of Patrick Kielty
Almost Live saw him weave his wicked charm with Prime Ministers,
Formula One racing drivers and the cream of British entertainment.
"Patrick's
ability to boldly go where others fear to tread has won him a dedicated
fan base and all this in the same year as Fame Academy.
"Paddy
is undoubtedly one of the 大象传媒's rising stars and if the plans for
his new series are anything to go by he won't disappoint!"
Executive
Producer and Director Stephen Stewart, Green Inc. Film and Television
said:
"We're
excited to be back on 大象传媒 ONE so soon, and also very proud that
we're now onto our fifth series.
"It's
a huge vote of confidence in the talent involved. Almost Live stands
out as a high quality series with unique strengths, including obviously
Patrick who has rapidly emerged as one of the 大象传媒's strongest new
talents, and the show's distinctive home in the great city of Belfast
sets it aside from the majority of other shows."
