Season four The fourth season introduced the concept of the female guest host after Lucy Kennedy's decision to leave the show. Each guest host presented two shows and were obliged to be female. These included Michelle Heaton, Pamela Flood, Amanda Bonkher, Mary McEvoy, Donna McCaul, Rosanna Davison and Bláthnaid Ní Chofaigh. Every second show featured a new slot, "Rhyme Bandits", in which a well-known singer switched genre and performed in the guise of their selected artist in a style reminiscent of Stars in Their Eyes.

Upon the show's return on 9 February 2009, Podge & Rodge were joined by Caroline Morahan as the new "Lady of Ballydung Manor" for the remaining ten weeks of season four (from Ep.4.21). The musical item 'Rock 'n' Roulette from Season three returned as 'Rockin' Recession Roulette' where up and coming Irish bands performed cover versions of Podge and Rodge's choosing. Tuesday nights saw a new item entitled The Antiques Gameshow where old Irish TV game shows were resurrected and given a Ballydung twist. For instance, geography quiz Where in the World? became an anatomical quiz Where on the Girl?.
