    He asked her straight out where she got them.

    Big voucher for River Island on its way to Mr & Mrs D'Arcy for the Christmas sales I reckon.

    RTE loves misery.

    They love it if something bad happened you. #InterviewMaterial

    Bit pointless being there if she isn't going to mention it. Are we just supposed to guess?

    "And what did your other friends say to you about that behaviour?"

    Just what I just said Ray, had you been listening you idiot instead of brainlessly reading out your list of questions. FFS :mad:

    Val Doonican RIP on BBC2 just now.

    He was a man who knew how to do Saturday Night TV Shows.
    Pat Shortt played a clip of Val last night - his music was a huge part of our lives back in the days even though he wouldn't have been counted as one of the "greats".

    I saw that one ... Val was going for years and years until he got his break.

    A real entertainer and a nice man by all accounts

    I hope BBC Four repeat their tribute programme to him soon called "Val Doonican Rocks"

    Replicant Ray uses a tonal language

    Falling tone "yeah, yeah", for misery topics

    Rising tone " oh right?", when a guest contradicts his rhetorical question.

    Monotone " yeah, yeah" when his eyes move onto the next question on his card.

    Feel free to add your own!

    They're the new clergy. They don't believe in hell, but they sure do believe in cancer, depression, mental unwellness,etc. etc.

    Probably Catholic guilt about the salaries they're on.

    If you try to ignore darcy's questions, she is an eloquent speaker who is worth listening to.

    But when you are getting topics like this every Friday and Saturday Night, they lose the impact which they deserve to make.

    +1

    Am all for people with mental health issues having a higher profile, but it does them no service to have crappy interviewers interview them. It just makes their stories & their lives, sound so monotonous and depressing. A good interviewer can make them sound inspiring and uplifting...which is the whole point of having them on, no?
