    I thought the Merson interview was riveting, very raw and great insight into the mind of an addict.

    Really resonated with me.

    The Lady at the end was very interesting too, great faith and a great outlook on life.

    Yes, I'm of a vintage that remembers Merson as an Arsenal player and remember when it broke about his problems. Also, he plays the batz a bit on Sky but none of that last night. It was honest, raw and you could see it was emotional. I really thought it was one of the best interviews I've seen and I don't really like Tiernan much. Merse was brilliant and I'm sure he came across as an example for others, who might be struggling like he does, that might have been watching.

    I just watched it there on player, outstanding interview.

    Fair play to him being so honest about the effect on his family, too often with addicts all about them and doesn't show what happens to family.

    I nearly fell off the chair when Tommy said 'No one in a house can get better until addict leaves'.

    Well the amazing interview was followed up with two absolute dopes full of absolute waffle.

    Enjoyed the last interview, the 'normal' person interview is usually so interesting.

    Surprised Merson is only 55, thought he was early sixties, the way he described his addictions sounded horrible, just shows you can have all the money in the world and still be f*cking miserable.

    The Mick Flannery song sounded a bit like a Springsteen tune.

    Really enjoyed Tommy's first guest, never heard of him before.

    Whats so good about this kind of show, and Tommy's interview style and genuine interest in the person in front of him, is telling these real life, hard, brushed under the carpet topics and taboos.

    It tells those who are suffering out there, ur not the only one. Comparing similar experiences to all those.effected by addiction...its a kind of comfort. That honestly is so important. Its showing the ugly side of.life and how others experience it.

    A very mixed bag this season so far- some superb interviews and guests but a lot of poor guests / interviews too - consistency of quality was far better in past seasons - might be coming to the end of the road of this format but I’ve enjoyed it overall.

    The Merson interview was outstanding. Have seen him on Sky Sports. Was shocked and saddened to hear that he is still struggling. I wish him all the best. The second interview was dreadful. Would have been much better if they cancelled that interview and extended the other two.

    The story is more to inform of the consequences rather than entertain

    Tommy seems to be finding it hard to get his head around getting tested.

    That was just a small specific detail in a story about something much bigger…

    I remember hearing about Magic Johnson having to retire from basketball after he was diagnosed with HIV, everyone thought he would be dead in six months.

    That was a great interview. Such an amazing Women and lucky too that she can still live a relatively normal life thankfully. In the 80s that would have been a death sentence. It's amazing how far we have come and yet we as humans still have such much to do.

    I am not sure which is worse do cancer or HIV but thinking about it I suppose it depends on the cancer. Some could be worse than HIV and some not as bad

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    Absolute spoofer! Another pretentious comedian, my least favourite type of interview.

    Fair enough, just pointing out it’s not at all about her talking about her sex life, as your post read, it’s about her giving information on an illness.

    Fair play to her coming on talking in public about something so personal, just to potentially help people anyway.

    Dermot going down the David Icke road, semi celebrity stardom gone to his head.

    Tommy clearly thinks he's a charlatan.
