    Finding it hard to take Risteard Cooper seriously in this yoke as well... when I see him playing Derek Nally, all I see is this guy with glasses...

    How did Charlie's army bully (aka the peaceful pipe bomber) turn into a (failing) property mogul?

    Don't know, but I bet this ends with him shooting PJ in the back

    Hi Heidi, yeah I was wondering that too... He got a nice haircut and threw away the combat trousers, and suddenly became a property mogul.... He's a dreadful actor too..

    Ah, they had to shoehorn Des O'Malley and "The National Interest" into it somewhere :D

    All we need is Pee Flynn telling us how Mary Robinson has suddenly got a new-found interest in her family.

    It's a bit odd that Kohl and Mitterand feature more often than Thatcher (I think we heard her voice once and saw the back of her head another time).

    She was one of his main political adversaries, it would have been more interesting to feature some scenes with herself.

    Nice overlap with The Guarantee where The Party's Interest and Legacy of the Taoiseach is more important than the National Interest.

    I remember that well, it looked for a while like we might have a General Election called during the Presidential Election. Exciting times.

    And there was I thinking that Dessie is the only one who doesn't look anything like the real thing.

    Although he has got "the national interest" down to a tee :D

    Is Risteard Cooper playing Nally? I'd never, ever, ever have guessed - can't even recognise him now that I know (unless, of course, I've got that wrong.....)
