The feckless rogues are back!
Given the rise of D-list celebrities and absolute chancers in the political sphere, now is the perfect time for Pádraig Judas O’Leprosy and Rodraig Spartacus O’Leprosy to return to our TV screens.
As stated previously, Doireann Garrihy is along for the ride as audiences made a return to Ballydung manor after a decade away.
After being greeted by a monologue that explained how much Irish society has changed in the last 10 years, it was time for business as the brothers took the mickey out Erin ‘you’re only famous because of your brother’ McGregor and Made in Chelsea ‘star’ Josh ‘JP’ Patterson.
To be fair, he was a good sport and went along with the lads doing their very best to destroy him!

Granted, there have been so many different TV shows featuring Podge and Rodge over the years and while the consensus is mostly positive, lots of people were hoping for the duo to go a bit darker – like their breakthrough show, A Scare at Bedtime.
This being said, after a decade away, we’re just happy to see the lads back on TV.
FYI, that image of Rodge naked will haunt us forever.
Oh I didn’t realise how much I missed #PodgeandRodge. They’re back and they’re hilariously brilliant. That first half was priceless.

Ouch, #PodgeAndRodge a laugh free zone tonight. Comprehensively jumped the shark from the A Scare At Bedtime series when it was the darkest, perviest show on RTÉ. Sad to see it so sanitised

I might have nightmares after seeing naked Rodge but @DoireannGarrihy is doing a great job on #PodgeAndRodge. I am claiming her as a Clare person, up the Banner!
