11 things that definitely should feature in the new Angelus
NEWS BROKE LAST night that RTÉ has revamped the Angelus with a series of one minute broadcasts at 6pm – including submissions from the public.
So, gone forever is the staring into space we’re used to just before the Six One.
On the back of this seismic news, Spin 1038′s Fully Charged show this morning had an important question for Irish people:
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
And some of the suggestions were top notch. The Angelus needs the following things:
1. The man who slipped on ice on the RTÉ News – he’s a national hero
What better way to contemplate life at 6pm than remembering that everyone is just one slippy path away from a bit of a fall.
2. The Riverdance lads
Sure it’s a bonafide global success story. What an inspiration they would be.
3. Somebody eating a warm chicken fillet roll on a cold winter’s morning
Change the setting as per the season. However, a chicken fillet roll should feature as a point of principle.
4. This suggestion needs to be implemented immediately
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
Dooooong. Doooong.
5. Bike girl
Another national hero that deserves some recognition on the new Angelus. We’ve all been there. It would bring the country together.
6. A clip from Reeling in the Years showing any triumphant Irish sporting moment
A 6pm boost of pride.
7. Tin whistle girl from the Rugby World Cup
Is there anything more Irish? She brought us together at a time of true hardship.
8. A kid enjoying a bag of Meanies
Contemplating the unique flavour. Contemplating life.
9. A clip of Hozier being pure sound
Want to get more people into the Angelus? Soundness + Hozier will do the trick.
10. A full one minute video of somebody waiting for public transport with a frustrated look on their face
REAL LIFE on screen. It shows that patience is a virtue and you could be the person interminably waiting.
11. And finally… random clips of the Late Late Toy Show to remind us that it’s not always so bad
A necessary tonic.
