Dustin the Turkey tried to shift a member of the audience on the Late Late

Standard stuff.

ON A LATE Late that featured Bob Geldof, Nigella Lawson and some serious food being served up – there was only one set of guests the nation could talk about.

Yes, Dustin the Turkey and Al Porter were in the house and in panto mood

They turned up in the audience at the start of the show, and it was a little surreal

It’s been a long time since we’ve seen Dustin knocking around

It was a shock

When they were discussing many of the world’s important issues (and panto), Dustin lobbed the gob on an unsuspecting member of the audience

Everyone wondered what Nigella was thinking

Don’t make a show of us in front of Nigella, please.

Their act didn’t go down particularly well with some

But they returned at the end to do their own version of Fairytale of New York – Late Late Toy Show Style

Which closed the show

They did manage to get in the most infamous reference of last week’s Christmas extravaganza though:

“Went to the stable to die on a table…”

And for some, the sight of Dustin on our screens was pure nostalgia

    @Cillian McCormick: Amazing you or anyone would remember which film Troy mclure wasnt in, nevermind the film names he was in. Too bad the simpsons don’t have him or Doctor Marvin Manroe on anymore. Then again too bad the simpsons are still going as they have awful since 1999

    They always stand with Ant on the left so it’s like reading ‘Ant and Dec’ from left to right. Apparently it’s a gimmick they came up with years ago when they started out. They still do it every time if you ever notice

    @michael: These jokers are STILL being paid millions for STILL no talent. Jedward thankfully have not made as much & hopefully they will finally fade away for good. Don’t get me wrong, every euro Jedward made so far is way too much. Two professional clowns that even a local circus clown can’t figure out how he is being outdone by.

    8 TV ain’t what it used to be. If this was based on TV shows of the past 5 years, I’d probably have scored 0

    @RevAshley: pretty sure that is him in the remaking of the Planet of the Apes when his was reviving his career by being in a relationship with Marge’s sister. If I am not mistaken, this is the moment he realised it was earth all along!

    3/10, although I’d see that as a badge of honour: high score = too much time spent watching tv = sign of a dull life….
