After the bore fest of that Tommy Tiernan interview with empty vessel Roy Keane, it was a return to form for TT this Saturday night with Patrick Kielty and 2 others who he managed to get to their story with ease. It was a good chat with Kielty, though he does suffer somewhat from the nordie syndrome  that  'nordies know better', that 'no one understands us and what we had to go through', and a tad condescending about the Irish ladies football team celebrations in the immediate aftermath of their magnificence in reaching the WC Finals.
Regardless, the show was riveting from beginning to end.

I never  got that from Kielty at all. As for the 'what we had to go through ' comment - I think Kielty has  more experience on that  than a lot of people.

Myself and the wife were in the audience for this show. Felix was an incredible interview, you could sense everyone was amazed by it. Full interview was about 40 minutes. Imagine before he got the transplant he was driving around France. Steering with his left foot,break and acceleration with right. Indicators were on the headrest behind him.

Yea he only had a father shot dead, so he is hardly qualified to talk about what the north had to come through. He really ought to wind his neck in. Arrogant of the nordies to think they have a better understanding of the conflict they lived through than the people south of the border who, after all, watched so many Section 31 censored news reports about it.

Kielty is a good lad and as already said earlier is unfortunately more qualified than most to talk about the troubles. Enjoyed his recent tractor documentary about ford v Ferguson. He also had a good one about Mullholland and everything he did in LA. He was also only too happy to set up bigot Arlene in another recent documentary were she stated she would have to move across the water if there was a UI.

He married Cat Deeley ffs, he's doing something right
Let no-one say the best hurlers belong to the past. They are with us now, and better yet to come

So obviously when you have a people spoon fed on a diet of censored adulterated news and middle Ireland LLS nonsense, is it not a wonder that so many southern folk supported the H Block hunger strikers (albeit starting with a trickle), voted for them the polls  and political support for the Republican Party has steadily risen over the last 20 or so years in spite of the persistent campaign to isolate and 'criminalise' Sinn Fein.
As Bernadette McAliskey responded to a condescending question put to her about a then recent H Block Dublin protest march being populated with 'rent a crowd' from the north,  she replied (virtually ripping into Gay Byrne) that if the people were more informed and not subject to such censorship and blatant anti republican RTE portrayals, they just might be able to make different more reasoned opinions
As regards Kielty, I fully respect and admire the man but just because he lost his father does not mean that I have to support his (imo) cringeworthy comment re the Irish ladies team post match dressing room celebrations and because I have that opinion does not mean I think he isn't qualified to talk about 'the north'.  I said that the interview and whole show was riveting, what more praise can be given?

Jesus, effin' nordies and their martyrdom ;D

So you're still maintaining that "nordies" don't know better about the conflict they lived through than those who didn't live through it?

Patrick didn't lose his father you twat, he was executed by a loyalist hit team probably fed misinformation by the British security services.

Kielty was bang on and gave a great example of why. If we really want a UI we need to think about the 1 million or so Unionists that we want to join because they aren't moving to Scotland like Arlene.

Agreed. Best pilot episode since Breaking Bad.
Never underestimate the power of complaining

Hope it follows through. Promising start.

thewobbler

It's a remarkable  start indeed, but as a rule of thumb, end-of-days shows start brilliantly, slip into silliness, dwell on the monotonous, then become unwatchable, all in one series.

Hopefully this is the exception.
