Was Tommy in Fr.Ted, any episode?

Ardal comes across as very natural and relaxed.

That'd be the dryness.

Fair Play to have home movies in the 70s as a child growing up!

I thought the Kennedys were the only ones pre 70s with home movies!

I NEVER knew that... was it the planned last episode anyway or did they end it when Dermot passed away?

Was after the party they had after filming the last episode. It was due to end.

I like the idea that Ardal was partially protected from breaking character by the fact that Dougal supressing a laugh could indeed just be interpreted as "gormless grinning"

Dermot Morgan was only 45 when he died, so young.

He's much more interesting than I thought. I never really listened to an interview with him before.

Ardal has never big but he’s lost weight lately

External Association

Excellent.

Tommy Tiernan is a great interviewer. He doesn’t say a lot, just asks his question and lets the person answer in full, uninterrupted.

mr.anonymous

I'd say that Tommy's self awareness (how he had the seeds sown for stand up) is what enables him to get to people's stories so well.

SeaFields

That was interesting. A far more intellectual guy that I would have thought (my bias for always associating him with Dougal!).

Fine Cheers

Really enjoyed that chat with Ardal. Seems a nice down to earth chap. His privileged upbringing doesn't come across at all.

kippy

Been to a couple of his gigs and heard him interviewed a few times. Interesting fella and we'll able.

2 good Father Ted episodes on later on More 4, the Father Stone and Passion Of St Tibulus episodes.

Responsible job!

Say Your Number

This is scary stuff.

An unusual choice for a guest but very interesting.

Beechwoodspark

This man knows his stuff.

Tommy looks freaked out by the whole topic

Dr. Peter Fenwick is amazing to listen to on conciousness and death. An elderly scholar.
