To add a bit of magic into our dreary July
Just in case you were getting your seasons mixed up this past week, the 'Toy Show' is coming back.
Ryan Tubridy and RTE plan on bringing a very special 'Late Late Toy Show' singalong to our screens later this month in order to help spread some magic across the country while we wait out the rain.
The one-off special will be throwing together some of the best opening numbers from the past few years of the festive show, which featured Tubridy dressed as Sebastian from 'The Little Mermaid' and Olaf from 'Frozen', as well as performances from some of the young talent our nation has seen take to the spotlight over the past 11 years.
Ryan Tubridy said: "Given how crazy it has been in the last few months, and how the rain seems to be winning the battle against the sun for summer skies of late, we thought it was time to brighten up the TV and have a look back at The Late Late Toy Shows of yesteryear. I hope that all the children, who are tall and small, who are young and old, can sit back, get the popcorn out on Sunday July 19th, sing along, laugh, and enjoy."
We reckon this should pave the way for another one-off special showcasing some of the "best bits" of the children's TV show ever since its inception - going all the way back to when the late Gay Byrne kicked off the Irish tradition in 1975. Make it happen, RTE!
Here's that fantastic ABBA medley from 2018, which will be making an appearance on the special.
