RTÉ is giving viewers a look behind the scenes of its hugely popular annual programme The Late Late Toy Show.
The yearly screening features the most popular toys in the run-up to Christmas, along with entertainment segments and special guests.
It's Ireland’s most-watched broadcast, with an average of 1.56million viewers tuning in last year.
Now a three-part documentary, The Late Late Toy Show Unwrapped, is following participants as they prepare for the 2016 edition, which will be screened on December 2 and presented by Ryan Tubridy.
The documentary will air in the week leading up to the live show.
