For non-Irish: The show premise is that Tommy Tiernan (the dad on Derry Girls) doesn’t know who his guest is until they appear.
The chat with Ireland’s outgoing president, Michael D Higgins, is beautiful.
I made the kid watch it to study how Irish people can dance across registers.

The government spends £2.7 BILLION a year on TAX BREAKS for oil and gas companies
Those companies pay billions to their shareholders
And then lay off their workers
Think that's unfair?
