    While listening to the ineptly name 'Mooney goes Wild' I felt a strong sense of macabre sweep over me. The question then came to me, is Derek Mooney a genius, or the exact opposite, is he not a genius. Keep it relevant and on topic guys and get your points across in as little posts as possible as I think the thread locks after 10000 posts. Take this opportunity to discuss guys and enjoy it, it's your thread..

    I'd say he's a genius or not a genius. Or maybe something inbetween, which is not a genius. So he's one or the other.

    When he's on the topic of the environment and wildlife he's fascinating. Rest of the time..well my mum love's him.

    He's somewhat better on the radio than he was during his stint on Winning Streak but I still wouldn't listen to him.

    I enjoy his camp attitude to the simplest of things. He's always in good form. His wife is lucky to have such a happy man!

    Go to 1:10 and see that he is in fact, an idiot.

    He came across as a **** on winning streak. The level of chirpiness he exudes is irritating.

    Derek Mooney is not a genius, far from it - he is, at most, a sh*t stain on the fabric of society

    Genius .

    Because he gets away with setting up hidden cameras to look at tits in people's gardens etc , advertises this fact on the national airwaves and nobody bats an eyelid ...

    To be as monumentally beige a broadcaster as Derek Mooney and still get paid his fat salary, he must have something. Still, it is RTE we're talking about.

    Would anyone like to get their hands on Mooney's money?

    I'd say well meaning gob****e :)

    Some interesting comments here guys but I feel some of you are being a bit harsh and possibly underrate Derek. His earlier work on live at 3 was excellent and his chemistry with Teresa Lowe was undoubtedly a highlight. Perhaps working alongside another co presenter again would show he still has what it takes.

    I lost many a night's sleep thinking about Teresa Lowe. Those panty-hosed legs circa 1991 drive me wild.
