And on Dermot Morgan’s anniversary.
Someone just mentioned that to me , what a coincidence.
A particularly awful one, sadly.
I’ll have to put Taffin on later to watch him play the bar man in Phil Healys.
“Then maybe you shouldn’t be living heeeere”.
:D

Rest in Peace Frank Kelly, thanks for the all the happy times. A great actor and a finer gentleman would be hard to find. Legend. Hope you and Dermot have a happy reunion up there in St Clabbards. Will it be a little drinkie or a nice cup of tea. “Arsebiscuits!”.
Heard him on the radio just a few weeks ago, hale and hearty, and AFAIK still working. RIP.

He was great in the great Hall’s Pictorial Weekly, as well as Father Ted.

overrated and full of himself
actually he was a fine gentleman. he will be sorely missed. xxx
didn’t take me long to change my mind, did it?
End of an era. So sad to see him go.
I used to have a cassette tape with loads of outtakes from radio ads from the 80s that Frank Kelly did the voice-overs on. Some of them were hilarious. He’s make a slight unnoticeable mistake & just carry on, only usually ruining the ad right at the end. “castrol gtx. If it moves…..fupp it” :D
