IMDb profile

The Panel is a humorous weekly chat show aimed at young people that airs on the Irish television network RTÉ Two, usually on a Monday evening but occasionally on other nights also. It is hosted by Dara Ó Briain and usually recorded in The Helix, DCU. The show, which has ran from September 2003 to the present day, has five panellists which change from week to week. They discuss current events, interspersed with celebrity interviews (3 per show originally, and then reduced to 2). It is one of RTÉ's most popular shows, and its sudden apparent cancellation in December 2005 annoyed many of the programme's fans but it returned with an unchanged format in October 2006. The format was derived from an Australian show of the same name.

The show features "Waterfall" by The Stone Roses as its theme song.

As of November 2006, it is possible to watch past episodes of The Panel on RTÉ's website.
