    Stop watching the LLS with the hope that they replace Tubs.

    I nearly have. I missed my cut off for 'Lance' on 2 and stayed too long last night.

    His next op is on Tubs' frontal lobe to stimulate humour. Could be a 24 hr op.

    He'll probably decide to just turn off the machine....hopefully.

    I know I'm really out on a limb here but I think the Beatles are way over rated.

    To paraphrase Alan Partridge, they're no Wings.

    Her voice/accent reminds me of Mary Coughlan... I know she was on lately too.

    I thought the same. I lip read and they both move their mouth in the same way.

    OK I know I'm late to the party here but just watching the Stephen Rea interview here, Jesus deep stuff.

    Outstanding interview.

    Improvement tonight on some recent weeks I though. Good to see, I like Tommy, but this sort of thing is so dependant on having interesting guests.

    Yeah sometimes, I can't speak for anyone else obviously.

    If I'm watching something with the volume off I can pick up accents, the strong english ones especially, yorkshire, liverpool etc. It's obviously something to do with the way the mouth forms or something.... obviously the tv needs to be highered to confirm but I'm usually correct.

    I've never watched the TT show before, but just flicking I caught the start of his interview with Bolger and it was a very enjoyable listening experience, he really sounds like a very approachable medical professional. I've met a couple of people like him over the years, with an extremely high level of achievement ability and it's really something to be admired. In the case of people I've known, it's similar in relation to self achievement and not handed down from inheritance. There are simply people who are destined for better things and will use all of their ability to reach it.

    In relation to posters referencing his split from his wife, that has absolutely feck all to do with anything. Just another case of attempting to lower the credibility of someone who makes you feel inadequate. It has zero to do with his profession and equally zero to do with his character. People split all the time, so sooner or later your going to come in contact with someone who has. None of your business at all.

    That's mad. You could be in the new CSI Dublin tv show -zoom in on the cctv footage to watch their lips and give their exact address.

    Big Beatles influence, not a bad song.

    Their influence is far more ELO than the Beatles. If you listen to their stuff they are basically an ELO tribute band.

    Then they also have a retired female judge who is also absolutely fascinating. Well worth a watch.

    I wonder do impersonators use that skill

    Really good show tonight.

    Would really recommend the neurosurgeon interview - brilliant. Would loved to have heard a longer interview with him

    This Rita Ann one is mad, but a good mad. Interesting, I'd say she's a great pub chat type character. I'd never heard of her until tonight but she is talking about places near me and characters that my other half knows.

    Song is like Hello Goodbye with bass in the style of Penny Lane.

    I can safely say that the Tommy Tiernan show is the highlight of my Television week.
    How many shows has he left?

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth House?

    Brilliant show last night, 3 really interesting and very different guests, would have liked each interview to last longer, which is always a good sign. Undoubtedly one of the TV highlights of every weekend.

    Just looked at some of his reviews online.

    People say his manner is poor and unempathetic.

    I suppose once he's technically skilled that's what matters but still it would be important to have confidence in a guy who was going to operate on your brain.

    As a former patient of his, I can concur that has a certain lack of empathy. Probably has to remain detached in his game. I have no doubt he is at the top of his profession, but it didn't work out well for me. No guarantees are ever given with these things and I accepted that going in. I wouldn't go back to him and I'll leave it at that

    Not sure why you ask given I referred to a completely different person.

    Songs like Love Me Do, She Loves You, Twist and Shout..pure rubbish.

    Penny Lane, nice little pop song.

    Greats like Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds and Strawberry Fields are excellent.

    And the stone age cnt that invented the wheel was over rated too, he was no Henry Ford that’s for sure

    Music owes a lot to the Beatles , the kinks, the who , kraftwork and jimi Hendrix. Not an opinion but a scientific and technological fact.
