    I missed Parkinson, so I'll have to play catch up on the RTE player.

    But John Giles came across as he usually does, a gentleman. I don't know about the singing though - although, you could tell he was no stranger to it.

    it was nice though - humanised a non-human environment! :D

    The first interview he did on the show with Brian Cowen was brilliant..but its just been all downhill since then..He's obviously now just got into a comfort zone where he dosen't have to make the effort..I'm no big fan of Pat Kenny but he's a professional left no stone unturned..bring him back

    There was nothing 'brilliant' about that interview; it was just a 'slightly tough on Brian Cowen', though supportive of FF, puff-piece, that was entirely in keeping with the narrative being pushed by Independent Newspapers and many in FF at that time.
    His 'interview' of Enda Kenny not long afterwards, though, was a disgrace; a hit-job on behalf of his political masters.

    I guess your're right. I watched that interview back on youtube recently, and waffle Cowen did..he was talking about the tough budget that was coming('09) and how we all had to take a little medicine and things would be ok then,,bloody liar, whats changed. His fingerprints are all over this recession, he needs not only to be kicked out of politics but kicked out of the country or thrown in jail. Fukin bufoon

    No idea. I'm sure there is; though i wasn't part of it.
    Only saw the interview a while after; was astonished by such a display of bias on the so-called 'national' broadcaster.

    The Late Late Show gets a lot of stick, but with regards to tonight's show (and Johnny Giles), - as mentioned earlier in the thread - I don't see anything wrong with appreciating a person's life/achievements while they are still around.

    Having caught up with TLLS on real player I thought the interview with Parkinson was good .
    I like that singer ' Rumer '.
    I really like ,thought Nadine Coyle gave a decent live performance with that song ( it's grown on me )
    The trad band from up north were really entertaining .

    The John Giles tribute /chat was entertaining with a good selection of his team mates in attendence and one of the better LL shows in a while

    John Giles wasn't joking about being a messer either to and apparently the story goes that back in the 70s while on a trip with the Irish soccer team to Buglaria , John got hold of one of the players passports ( think it might have being Mick Martin or Eoin Hands ) and threw it away , either before or after they had boarded a plane . :D


    look foreward to reading his book to

    oh btw people, for anybody who enjoyed the bit with Gilesy... Dunphy and Giles were on Miriam Meets (Radio One) this morning.. It was a bit more relaxed and there was a bit more depth to it... It was very good... should be on the podcast shortly..
