1.4m viewers tuned into this year’s ’Toy Show’

It was not another record breaker but last Friday’s Late Late Toy Show still came out tops — with 1.4m viewers it is the most watched programme so far this year.

Last year’s production had the highest number of viewers in 10 years, but host Ryan Tubridy felt the feat might be impossible to top this time round.

However, the production proved hugely popular on the RTÉ Player with close to 150,000 streams – a 30,000 increase on last year.
