History
In 2006, John Drennan, writing in the Irish Independent, asked if there was "a sweeter sound in Irish journalism than the wails of the effete South Dublin TV critic when RTÉ viewing figures show Killinaskully [a comedy which divided critics and viewers] has trounced John Kelly's The View once again?".[2]
The View Presents.... was a spin-off programme which featured different artist interviews and profiles from around Ireland. A special edition was broadcast on 13 April 2009. Titled The View Presents: Duke Special versus Neil Hannon, it saw Neil Hannon and Duke Special performing songs from each others's careers, a duet together and answering questions put to them by John Kelly.[3][4]
The last episode of The View was broadcast on RTÉ One on 13 December 2011. A new replacement programme called The Works replaced The View, beginning on 26 January 2012.[5][6][7]
