    If houses were free we wouldn’t need education

    what passes for weekend " entertainment " in this country is like nothing in any other country , when has discussing homelessness been a feature on BBC or ITV saturday night ?
    ?
    will we see Ant and Dec trying something like that some time soon ?
    I would rather watch the Tiernan show than the silly things Ant and Dec get up to.

    When asked about love, he said there is no one he loves in this life.
    He said there are people he respects, but no love at all for anyone?
    I think love just means something different to him than it does to you. He said that to love someone, it means to be willing to give up your life for them. There's plenty of people out there who haven't found someone that they'd be willing to give up their lives for. It doesn't mean he doesn't experience emotional connections with people in the same way you do.

    Are you equating free education with a free house?

    Did I say that, or anything near that?

    Liked some of the guests on TT not others. That's the nature of the draw. Reflects more our Irish thought process than the above mentioned.

    For me, I don't need to like someone for them to be an interesting guest. I didn't like the neurologist he had on last week, but he was still a fascinating guest.

    hes a lot more than you describe , he espouses a hard left political system, let him put his name on a ballot or else stay off the bloody airwaves , he has no mandate

    Can we apply the same logic to your postings here? Put your name on the ballot or stay off the boards, you have no mandate?

    Remember T. Tiernan is the Producer of this show, of course he knows who is appearing.
    He seems to have been conveniently listening to a guests album or reading their book "a few days ago".

    Are viewers still falling for this big lie?

    I don’t actually think he does, though even if he does I don’t really care.

    It's not as if TT has a set of queue cards reminding him of his questions.

    They will do something stupid like add a 2nd presenter, likely female.

    >An industry source told us that plans for a Piers Morgan Life Stories style show have been tentatively mooted, which would see Tommy take the lead.

    That's what it is right now, just not as long...

    The only silly stuff here is the theory that someone shouldn't be interviewed on a light entertainment show until after they've run for election because YOU disagree with their politics.

    I haven't watched TTTS in a while, the original episodes were light with some of the usual troupes of an RTÉ chat show... we have to keep it serious.

    I think TT is a good host and good at chatting, I think the audience is really missed from the show, he feeds off them rather than the guest and seems to have a great sense of how an audience wants an interview to go.

    But of what I have seen many of the guests are now there on a serious note.

    While TT can bring some levity to the interview it just seems like he's just doing what TLLS and RT has been doing over the last number of years.

    Since rt took over the LLS the show keeps trying things to make up for his lack of ability to the point it doesn’t know what it is anymore. With the Tommy show they have found a format.

    From the guy who expects people to run for election before they are interviewed by Tommy!
