Marion Finucane's program about the life of Nuala O'Faoláin is starting now...

Why the hell did RTE put it on at the same time as the new series of The Savage Eye.. I mean they had nothing but repeats no over the damned weekend..

Why did they put this on a bank holiday Monday?

I heard her interview on the Marian Finucane show, we all have to die sometime, she seemed to be going to her grave bitter because she knew she was dying.

Nuala was a beautiful and intelligent woman who was obviously very damaged by her childhood. I found it difficult to watch at times, can't imagine how difficult making such an honest documentary must have been for her friends.

It's up on RTE player now, if anyone missed it. (Seems like everyine did.)

I thought it was good too... but I think marian should have let somebody else narrate it though... Her narration was very forced and "shouty"... needed better intonation..

Jeez she had a hard life, but she did say she was happy before she was diagnosed which incidently I thought was really terrible the way she was told.

Very tragic. The men in her life were mainly b******s.Very sad.

I watched this too. I found it very sad and hard to watch to the end. Her life was basically defined by her parents and their issues. She didn't know how to make relationships work, which she admitted herself, and when she found out she was dying it seemed as if she just pushed everyone away. Quite sad.

Basicly her mother didn't want children and probably felt trapped into been a home-maker which was the norm at the time.It wasn't helped by her womaniser Husband and so drinking was her escape.


jeez I sound like a psychologist

The way she treated Anna Low-Beer was not one of her better moments. I admire her honesty though and enjoyed Best Love, Rosie recently.

On the topic of Nuala on TV, there's a programme from the late 80's on RTE Player where she's interviewed by Anthony Clare.
