Charlie Bird Going To The Toilet

Let's face it. Charlie Bird, RTE's intrepid chief newshound isn't a 'funnyman' by any stretch of the imagination, and is never seen on the screen when there's good news being handed out.

However in the promo for his documentary-travel program on the Amazon Rainforest, which aires on RTE tomorrow (Thursday) night, he inadvertantly brings a wry smile to your face.

In the promotional video piece, he is to be seen in a dugout canoe on the Amazon, and in his spiel he say's ( with a straight face...typical Charlie) "It's no fun going to the toilet in the Amazon jungle", which surely begs the question as to what kind of fun he gets up to when going to the toilet anywhere else.
