The Late Late shift

Keeping it in proportion

Sir, – Prior to the Late Late hot seat being vacated, I don’t believe I’d ever seen a newspaper article about a chat show anywhere in the world being so hard a gig that it should be avoided. But now I’m besieged by such articles.

Ryan Tubridy’s replacement will not be asked to work 18-hour shifts down a coal mine. Some perspective, please. – Yours, etc,

ALAN MURPHY,

Dublin 16.
