Dustin's Daily News (DDN) is a television chat/comedy show, broadcast on RTÉ Two. A predecessor of The Once a Week Show, it served as a new home for Dustin the Turkey, who had until then been part of The Den. Dustin co-presented with an assistant, Sinéad Ni Churnain. Two series were produced. The first series aired between 19 September 2005 and 29 April 2006, while the second series aired between September 2006 and April 2007.
Dustin's Daily News took place in the Dublin Mountains, where Dustin established his own network news channel. While Dustin would always be able to avoid being captured by a butcher in the opening sequence, he had another villain to contend with during the run of the show. The infamous Martin Duck planned a takeover of Dustin's news channel, but gardaí foiled him.
Episodes dating from January 2006 are available online.
There were six DDN Reloaded special episodes.
