    Agreed, if you put all of his “interview” parts together it would be 2 minutes long, filling it out with journalists talking rubbish

    He comes across as an uneducated idiot that rebels in his infamy , also we need subtitles for his mumbling

    Would have given the "interview" a watch if I was few years younger.

    Didn't miss much at all

    I can't understand why he has been given such a platform to give his side of the story, who cares about him and why is he allowed openly boast about his crimes?

    Hopefully he will talk himself into a final jail sentence here in Ireland as he seems to be admitting crimes he wasn't charged with.

    Didn't and wouldn't watch it. Makes you think that maybe public service broadcasting has a place after all. If some major news story breaks here, would you go to RTE or Virgin Media?

    Really interesting life story. I enjoyed it

    Amnesty International’s new investigation shows that Israel imposes a system of oppression and domination against Palestinians across all areas under its control: in Israel and the OPT, and against Palestinian refugees, in order to benefit Jewish Israelis. This amounts to apartheid as prohibited in international law.

    Always had a great sense of humour, our John. I was a happy consumer of his product in the 90's.

    Watched the two parts so far. Interesting. Not a lot of new info. Must have been a hard watch for the Guerin family if they did. I don't think it glorifies him. His early life is interesting. Tries to portray himself self as having honour not sure I agree.
