Sinead Kennedy had joined the show to co-host with Daithi on Monday and Tuesdays in order for Maura to spend more time with her family[3]

Reception

Bernice Harrison, reviewer in The Irish Times, wondered in advance if it "might be a livelier alternative" to the "afternoon schedules [that] are clogged with antiques and property programmes".[4] The eighth season of the show was extended by two weeks due to a rise in viewers as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
