    Well Nixon HATED Kennedy... Kennedy bought the 1960 election to defeat Nixon.. Nixon himself reckoned his shot at the presidency was gone when Kennedy got in in 1960, as he thought Kennedy would be a shoe-in to get a second term.... and he wasnt getting any younger.... I would reckon the word "Nixon" is taboo in the Tubridy house

    I investigated Richard Nixon as part of my one attempt to find the second shooter on the grassy knoll... The case is unfortunately still open, but fortunately I have been getting help from a new recruit...

    I like the way BOC has just pushed him to tell us about life on the streets. He has a nice way..... And I'm not really a fan of BOC.

    BOC has a warmth about him, a humaness. He is obviously comfortable with this guy.

    There has not been many guests on the LLS that DLB has been at ease with.

    Yeah Brendan has a real genuine empathy that Tubridy attempts to feign on occasion .. That last interview was excellent... I think Tubridy is too far removed from real life, he lives in a privileged world of books and children's movies, where his only worry is late returns to the library.. I think you have to truly have "lived a bit" to be able to interview properly..

    Just watched the last interview on the player, it was the best interview of the show. The guy was very touching had a sense of humour. Goes to prove, you don't need celebrities to make an interesting show.


    Moncrieff is very good at this kind of interview, he would be perfect for the LLS imo.

    I reckon John Creedon would be a good host for this type of show. Dont know how well up he is on Current Affairs though.

    I wouldn't trust John Creedon to be well up on anything remotely important or interesting to be quite honest.

    If John Creedon hosted the show it would be cancelled to me.

    And her accent needs to be reined in....BIG TIME.

    What type of accent is acceptable then? At least she isn't putting on some stupid twang....
    Accents are accents!:)

    Agree that accents are accents.

    But I personally find certain accents are more pleasant to listen to then others.

    Imelda May's accent goes through me. I find it quite unpleasant to listen to.

    I suppose....it does come in second place to the nordy accent though as far as grating goes ...... :o:o

    yeah this was an excellant interview, far more interesting than some wanna be celeb who fainted in a jungle laughing hysterically at everything BOC said to her, poor woman didnt realise he was taking the p1ss out of her. it was refreshing to see BOC talk normally to someone, plus the guy being interviewed deserved enormous credit for coming on the show & for raising awareness of the issue of homelessness.

    Half the reason talk shows on RTE are so dreadful is that they follow the same routine, interview with comedian/singer about their upcoming show, interview with some RTE presenter about their upcoming show, interview with Twink or Linda Martin about some pointless drivel of no interest.

    Yeah, and did you hear when some piece of equipment fell over out the back of the studio just after Imelda May came out on set... and O'Connor says "it's alright, Gillian's just after fainting again"... lol

    The last two shows he has been particularly good... Really got to the meat of the story with Linda Martin last week, great interview with homeless guy this week, and he's improved on the autocue as well ... Hopefully RTE are just training him up for when Tubridy retires next year.. (he has a mental age of 74 after all)

    Great, does that mean we can start a thread, get drunk and slag off the DLB early too?

    Jeez it sounds riveting: A priest, a Footballer and a WAG.
    I like Jimmy though. Hope they interview him as well as just a song.
    It probably makes sense to pre-record though as most people wont be concentrating on TV on Xmas Eve.

    Creedon's a bore. He's just not interesting.
