Yeah sometimes, I can't speak for anyone else obviously.

If I'm watching something with the volume off I can pick up accents, the strong english ones especially, yorkshire, liverpool etc. It's obviously something to do with the way the mouth forms or something.... obviously the tv needs to be highered to confirm but I'm usually correct.

That’s mad.

I wonder do impersonators use that skill

Really good show tonight.

Would really recommend the neurosurgeon interview - brilliant. Would loved to have heard a longer interview with him

This Rita Ann one is mad, but a good mad. Interesting, I'd say she's a great pub chat type character. I'd never heard of her until tonight but she is talking about places near me and characters that my other half knows.

Their influence is far more ELO than the Beatles. If you listen to their stuff they are basically an ELO tribute band.

Song is like Hello Goodbye with bass in the style of Penny Lane.

Ever heard of F Scott Fitzgerald?

What did Scott Fitzgerald ever do to you?

I thought tonight's show was excellent, really enjoyed all 3 guests , could have listened to them all for longer.

Had to postpone Tommy till now, because of the Frampton fight.
Thoroughly enjoyable show, three interesting guests, loved the doc.

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

Wow that actually blew my mind as I’m turning 45 and still think I’m in the 90s

Not 45 yet but not far off if. But same thought came to my mind.

I can safely say that the Tommy Tiernan show is the highlight of my Television week.
How many shows has he left?

Brilliant show last night, 3 really interesting and very different guests, would have liked each interview to last longer, which is always a good sign. Undoubtedly one of the TV highlights of every weekend.

Just looked at some of his reviews online.

People say his manner is poor and unempathetic.

I suppose once he's technically skilled that's what matters but still it would be important to have confidence in a guy who was going to operate on your brain.

As a former patient of his, I can concur that has a certain lack of empathy. Probably has to remain detached in his game. I have no doubt he is at the top of his profession, but it didn't work out well for me. No guarantees are ever given with these things and I accepted that going in. I wouldn't go back to him and I'll leave it at that

Not sure why you ask given I referred to a completely different person.

I know I'm really out on a limb here but I think the Beatles are way over rated.

Songs like Love Me Do, She Loves You, Twist and Shout..pure rubbish.

Penny Lane, nice little pop song.

Greats like Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds and Strawberry Fields are excellent.

And the stone age cnt that invented the wheel was over rated too, he was no Henry Ford that’s for sure

Music owes a lot to the Beatles , the kinks, the who , kraftwork and jimi Hendrix. Not an opinion but a scientific and technological fact.

You sound fine in all fairness

I don't think there has been one mention of Covid by any guest at any time in the whole series...which is refreshing. Good call there by somebody.

The fella who invented the wheel was a genius.

Personally the Beatles aren't in it with the Stones, Elvis, Bowie, Thin Lizzy.. most 1960s and 1970s bands I can think of.

She loves you yeah, yeah, yeah.. and most of their songs do nothing for me. A good few songs are brilliant. But, personally, I don't get the hype. I know Oasis would say they were their inspiration. So it must be me out of step!!

I think in the wake of the success of Tommy's show, the LL is done.

RTÉ should keep this as the flagship talk show now. It's not too out there for the conservative viewers and is good natured and hearting throughout, yet utterly gripping by times with stories that are inspiring and sometimes harrowing without ever veering into misery porn with a giddy yet oddly detached Tubs looking on at the little man/woman.

Tiernan obviously is in his element doing it, good format, it's a ratings hit and it's only a little over an hour long unlike the dirge that is the LL.

More please.

You don’t need to like them but they practically paved the way for multiple genres, inc Bowie and lizzy elvis re marketed the blues but he also paved the way

Robbie Lawler first up tonight.

How could you not know about HIV, honestly? Someone going to college too, not someone who left school at 14. It's more treatable now but is a massive cost on the health system for wrecklessness.

castletownman

Ah so HIV positive for having unprotected sex riding around.

Would lead you to believe it was incredibly naive.

Is he 'famous' as such? Google is only giving me the Dublin gangland guy of the same name.

Atlantic Dawn

He won't be mentioning who is coming in to the country with HIV.

Atlantic Dawn

Did he think condoms were decorations for Christmas trees?

Samsgirl

Can you imagine Tubridy doing this interview?

Agreed if it was the 80s or early 90s ok but 2012 ffs. He obviously never really listened to the media or he would have heard plenty about it back then or seen plenty about it on TV.
