nothing wrong with showing the true reality of fake music and it's hidden horrors.

I think there was a pair of them in it. Nathan was a bit (workaholic) odd and Tommy was even more odd. Nathan was not prepared for Tommy's regular odd line of questioning, and Tommy is not able to ask any other questions besides his same line of questioning.

His main tactic is staring the interviewee out of it and trying to 'sense' something as if he is Dr Melfi (Sopranos) with a beard and a Navan accent.

All I could think of when he does the slow stare if he was on public transport I would move seat!

I mean the Tommy has said, it was thought he might have borderline personality disorder at one point -

I shows up why in spades in this show, but it makes for interesting viewing on how the guests react to an odd atmosphere. Especially if they are not mates with him.

It's called the Tommy Tiernan show because lets face it that what it is, Tommy's show. I haven't seen many of his shows but from what I have seen it's just Tommy asking safe shot questions. I have never heard him challenging his guests but then I guess the guests are not very controversial.

Saw the boomtown rats supporting Queen& adam Lambert a few years ago and they were actually a lot better than I thought but felt odd for some reason. Bob is the king of the dad dance ha

He is almost 70 to be fair to him. The Grandad dances would be more applicable.

Can't stand the fella but have seen a couple bits of shows when on in the house, firstly he has deplorable posture when sitting down, posture of someone decades older than him and secondly what is with the hat on all the time?

I would like to see Al Porter go on this show to give his 1st interview to discuss his problems of past few years. Dunno if it would do good or bad for him. It could be a first step back for him.

Watched Geldof and Carter last night, Bob talks some right drivel, he was right about one thing though that Tommy needs a new wardrobe. I see bob finally washed his hair.

His problems? Five men accused him of groping them. That's not something you can resolve with a self-serving interview. Good riddance to him.
