The Tommy Tiernan Show Thread - Mod warning, see OP

Dan Steely

Looks like the problem is my Sky+HD. Only 4, 5 and 6 available. Had this problem before with a BBC program, some episodes available on Q were not available on the HD box.

Looks like I will have to watch online.

I have Sky Q and can't see episode 7 through the catch up option - only through the app feature.

A national scandal for a 'Catholic' country

Wow, the odds of that happening must be fairly slim

What intelligent lovely caring women.

I shudder when I think of the women that had to go through what their mother did. Thank god a lot of that is gone now.

Good opening to the show, could tell they were closely related as I was late tuning in.

MintyMagnum

Didn’t think they looked anything alike!

YellowLead

Another interesting guest with the astronaut.

I feel like the next one will have to be a vogue Williams type to balance it out…!

Flying in space is probably amazing, but way too terrifying for me to ever consider trying it.

Half sisters

castletownman

Never understood the fascination about space and the money put into it.

If the moon is so important, why hadn't there been a landing there since the 70s since this week?

From what I can see, space travel is basically a very expensive and dangerous photography trip

Say Your Number

He makes it sound a bit boring

Going to Mars?

We've wrecked one planet as it is.

Atlantic Dawn

There was a decent documentary on BBC recently about the Columbia shuttle disaster, they showed how the team were put together and trained. They spent some sessions together out in the wilderness for team bonding to see that none would be likely to behave in a way to irritate the rest of the group with their behaviour.

Dan Tani. Has a wikipedia page and all.

Spoke very well, interesting family background.

Mehaffey1

Didn't know a thing about the Japanese community in America after WW2 and I'd call myself big into history. Interesting guest and very funny with the Irish connections through his wife.

Azatadine

He was very interesting

Nigel Fairservice

I knew one of the girls a bit when we were in school over 20 years ago. Both women spoke well on the subject. A friend of mine recently found his birth parents. The circumstances of his adoption and the urge to know his birth parents tormented him for years. He's slowly building a relationship with his birth parents.

It's mad to think these homes we still going in the mid 80s. I don't think people really associate the home with the 80s.

Ash.J.Williams

The rocketman interview got real interesting when Tommy asked "where ya really from?" There's modern thinking that line of question is racist but really it's a wonderful Irish question that often leads to interesting stories like this one

The hack of Jason Schwartzman when he had long hair.
