So sad- Vincent’s physical deterioration was accidentally documented on that program.
Fab Vinny and MTUSA made Ireland a more colourful and fun place.
This sounds like a really good watch, in fairness to RTÉ.
Well worth a watch. A heartfelt piece from Bill.

I thought it was a good programme which showed how backward Ireland was not so long ago. It didn’t make the Gardai look too good.
Indeed; ‘Yer not one of them fellas are yeh?’
And of course the murder was never actually solved.
