I hate both Nob and Gift in the mornings.

But I can just about tolerate one or the other later in the day.

Much later.

Thats because I'm a cranky fcuker in the mornings

I heard Nob Nation for the first time in a while today. with this thread in mind I listened to it and didn't immediately change stations. The first thing that struck me was NOISE. Callan seems to think by TALKING VERY LOUDLY in the voices of his characters its funny. All the characters were shouting. He is undoubtedly a fine mimic and his imersenations are very good. What this morning reinforced to me is what has been said earlier - ie he needs a good scriptwriter. At the moment he reminds me too much of the little boy who thinks he's hillarious just because he can mimic his teachers. Give him a good tight script and good editing and nob Nation could be very good.

It's one of my favorite gift characters, brilliantly done , and i love the almost
" eddie lenihan - seanchaithe" warmth form the sketches.

It's the same in ever industry, when a product becomes huge and dominates
the market there always a predecessor trying to tap into that success.

People know what the original is.

Nob Nation by a country mile when he's on form.

Flatleys Ireland are some of the better ones especially with Daniel day Lewis and flatley touring the country.
