It’s a great classic, a real family favourite and something which I think everyone can enjoy whether they’re young or old, boy or girl. I may not be the king of the singers but I hope that for a couple of hours tonight people will get a chance to settle down with the family and forget all about their worries and their strife.

The Toy Show is kicking off tonight at 9.35pm on RTÉ One and it's sure to one of the most watched programmes of the year. The youngest entertainer is just four years old and the opening performance is featuring a huge 72 performers. This year will be so big the show will feature performances all over the RTÉ campus.
