Exclusive: Ardal O’Hanlon leads new cast for Irish feature ‘Fran The Man’ adapted from football mockumentary series t.ly/h1Jrj

Thanks Miriam, it’s a great story not just about a forgotten work of art but - big claim alert - about Ireland itself.

Happy Birthday Harry Clarke! Our new documentary about his ill-fated masterpiece, The Geneva Window, airs this Friday (repeated Sunday) on Oireachtas TV, presented by Ardal O'Hanlon supported by Coimisiún na Meán Sound & Vision fund, produced by Strike Films #GenevaWindow #HarryClarke

Third and final part of my joyful island and Irish language odyssey tonight on TG4.

More island-hopping and language-hopping. Skellig Michael is everything it was cracked up to be.

The dilemma, the torture of being a ‘cultural Catholic.’

A reflection on the rise and fall of the priesthood in Ireland - objective (I think), informative (hopefully) and mildly entertaining (possibly).

Unashamed celebration and romanticisation of Ireland’s stunningly beautiful islands with apologies to those who can actually speak our native language.

A ridiculously enjoyable evening.

The Blame Game returns to BBC One NI and BBC iPlayer on Friday night from 10.40pm. Ardal O'Hanlon joins Diona Doherty, Colin Murphy, Neil Delamere and host Tim Mc Garry for the first episode in the latest series.

Well now isn’t that quite a line-up for a Thursday night at the theatre! #GCF23

If anything the paperback is even funnier and more thrilling…

Can’t recommend this book highly enough…

Happy Birthday Ardal O'Hanlon 🥳

Ardal O'Hanlon played Uncle Jack in #DancingAtLughnasa earlier this year.

I watched a nature documentary the other night in which an octopus opened a jam jar! Incredible image. Forget about dogs and cats - an octopus would make a great pet for an older person.

Really enjoyed this one with comedy chum and football fanatic Eric Lalor.

At a festival in my home town recently, I entered the Guess the Age of the Hen competition. And I won!! In fact I’ve won it two years in a row now. It was much easier the second year. It was the same hen.

One or two half-decent comedians knocking about.

My left hand is utterly useless. It has ONE regular job - to cut the fingernails on my right hand. Made a complete balls of it. I’ve just tried cutting the fingernails on my right hand WITH my right hand. Did a better job!
