4 episodes into Season 4 Gomorrah and it's as good as ever. Genny is a brilliant character!

The Tommy Tiernan Show on RTE is superb.

Agreed, though he's as unpolished as it goes for a presenter he has the knack to let the guests feel comfortable to talk about anything, they just cant stop talking and Tommy just listens.

Really?! I always thought he'd be too chaotic to be any good. Will give it a shot.

He is a top class interviewer.

Guests really do open up with Tommy. Rather than the usual bullshit, like lets see you win that gold medal or let's talk about your new book, guests aren't plugging anything

Some cracking interviews he's done. I laughed me hole off at the Frank Maloney interview. Or whatever name he/she is going by now.

Hardy

Yes - one of the very few must see items on TV.

That's what makes it work in my eyes. Obviously there's a little bit of self promotion being on it but there no albums or films or whatever else being rammed down your throat and you find out a little more about these people. Tommy not knowing who he he will be interviewing (genuine I think) is genius. The Paul McGrath one is a personal favourite.

Struggled through 2nd series and parked it halfway through. Will have to get right back into it again I doubt.

3 is significantly better than 2. I think after the success of 1 they struggled a bit with ideas for 2.

I really enjoyed 2. Looking forward to getting stuck into 3 tonight
When you think you're fucked you're only about 40% fucked.

Yeah I liked 2 as well. Looking forward to 3.
