Is every line of that dialogue a cliche?
Touche.
get the briquettes in lads
looks really terrible.
Say what you will but the lads from Paddyangryman have really upped their production values.
I will give it an episode before i decide.
I think Gillen is a pretty poor actor but I’ll reserve judgement until I see it
He was good as the gay fella in queer as folk that drove the cool little wrangler jeep
Is that what they call it now.
i can’t get over his ‘tom cruise’ irish accent in game of thrones.
*jumps and clicks heels together
‘ha-hoo, i’ll wed ya yet young sansa stark! ha-hoo’
Irish? I’d have said it was mostly welsh. Sounded like a drunken hopkins.
Also known as a hopkins.
Ha!
maybe he’s going for a ‘hopkins drunk on holidays in dingle’ sort of accent?
Nothing worse than watching an Irish fella trying to do an Irish accent.
His performance in Game of Thrones was a tour de force. He must have got five or six different accents into each episode. It was like watching Meryl Streep having a breakdown.
thanks for making me giggle. I hadn’t noticed but I’m sure I won’t be able to un-notice it now!
See below.
too busy being simultaneously repulsed by and attracted to Littlefinger.
It’s good to see that hard work and determination can get you places even if you aren’t a very good actor.
i mentioned something about CJH recently to my wife. she, not being from ireland, had never heard of him. when i synopsised his life she was left utterly bemused that he could do such things and get away with them. and that his family have not been pursued for his ill-gotten gains angered her. GUBU etc indeed.
Cool story bro.
What a sh*tty little rubber-stamp response. You’ve got the whole damn internet, GN. Why insult the little bits of it you didn’t enjoy?
….eh because insulting the bits heshe does enjoy wouldn’t make a whole lot of sense?
Is this about Ellen DeGeneres?
In this age of extreme sensitivity I now assume that everyone on the internet is a polyamorous multigendered amorphous blob.
Like your ma.
Ahem.
* doublechecks insecam *
No thanks, I get groupons for Leprechaun museum tickets all the time.
That makes one of us.
I’ll take your advice when you’ve posted something funny.
Dig up, stupid!

If you’ve just joined us, ben is live blogging his nervous breakdown.
This is great. Well done Mani
I don’t doubt your tool handling abilities.
Oh no you don’t. I’ve heard reading insane ramblings backwards can summon Cthulhu. Or Barry Scott.
Fair warning of what? You’re going to get in a tizzy at me over the internet too? Awesome! Can’t wait!!!
Lol! That is a very poor effort. Mani would have at least said something offensive about my mum
Poor Ben. Bored but boring. Ah well
I’ll just pop back every now and again so you can show off your scintillating wit. Does that work? Maybe your next joke could be about how good my homing skills are?
@gone north
why, thank you, you’re most kind.
if you’re interested in more of my musings we could go for a drink sometime. in return perhaps you could come out with more original comedy gold in a similar vein…maybe “do you even lift?” or some such.
i’m sure it’d be super fun!
I think Gillen is a fine actor, and he has the pedigree to prove it.
…isn’t anyone going to accuse AOPC of being a shill?
Shillen for Gillen
…this series…its a horror right?
Yes. Written by horror author Garth Marenghi.
“why can’t I be more attractive like haughey?”
shudder
Christ, is this the centrepiece of RTE’s Christmas schedule. How much is a Sky subscription again?
Well I would have thought that “Starts Sunday 4th January” would put it firmly outside the Xmas schedule, what with most people being back to work the next day, assuming they weren’t back before then.
But I guess with the rising number of people of the Orthodox church in Ireland, maybe it’s just pre-Xmas viewing for them.
No, don’t forget Twink’s doing Urbi et Orbi this year which apparently is just her dressed as an elf, licking a giant chocolate Santa while Sinead O’Connor performs ‘Take me to Church’ in sign language.
Disturbing yet absorbing.
…try our new range of Pampers Saville nappies.
You have the cappucino machine and panini maker but no sky subscription?
We’re not quite back yet baby!
I’m going to find it difficult to keep fapping over Gillen if he keeps playing these awful characters.
Christmas day meal…. “so, did you see there is a show about Haughey coming out?”.
100% family fall out by the time the Turkey is even cut. All agreeing, but blaming one another.
yeah, but the box set will make a great pressie for the most aggrieved family member next xmas..
The first Xmas fight happens way before the turkey. Otherwise, you are doing Xmas wrong
yep usually an après drunken midnight mass moment if you are doing it right
Ah Xmas
When’s the free toothbrushes bit
I like Gillen as an actor. I’m not saying he’s a master of his craft but he has something that compels me to watch his performances.
He rarely plays a character I don’t like, and that says a lot as most of his characters are complete bastards, maybe even all of them now I think of it.
Ah the usual RTE Begrudgery beginning again. At least give it a chance and watch the first episode before you laud every other tv station in the world as being better than RTE.
I’d love to see the very first mention of love/hate on here to see the comments. Earliest I could find was on a promo for season 3 which featured:
“Comically sh*t.
A posh, pretty-boy from Portlaoise, pretending to be a Dublin knack.
Who watches this? Really?”
TV critic of the year there. There was more of that type of stuff and this is when the series had already established itself as the standout drama of recent times.
I’m not saying everyone has to like everything or even if Charlie is even going to be any good, but for jesus sake give it a chance.
For once I actually agree with Rotide.
Gotta be better than Fade Street, anyway.
+1
Looks decent enough to me.
Aidan Gillen acts out just one side of his face, like he’s trying to dodge the slap in the gob so many are looking to give him.
Brilliant, JEB.
If he’d only play Padraig Pearse he might win an Oscar.
Is he tall lads?
‘Cause if he was
I nearly would
um, he’s a bit under 6’/ 1.8m i’d say. of course he could be doing a tom cruise and wearing lifts…
if you’re interested in stalking him he often walks his dog around portobello/ heytesbury st areas. happy stalking!
What kinda dog?
Aiden Gillen? He’s TINY! I was near him at a Metallica concert (RAWK) and I’d say he’s 5’8″. It says 5’10” on t’internet but that’s not true as no way was he almost eye to eye with me.
Oh. I also met him at a party. I forgot. But I was gee-eyed so can’t remember much about that.
That sounds like you saw more of’im than I asked for
Naw’mind. 6′ 2″ is probably as low as I’d go.
