God, Ted. D’you remember that fella who was so good at fashion they had to shoot him?

I watched the first episode of new RTÉ comedy Val Falvey TD starring Ardal O’Hanlon tonight. And promising enough it was too.

The former Father Ted star presented a really good series of programmes, some years ago, on football rivalries called Leagues Apart. They seem to be on YouTube for anyone interested.

The clip above, however, is the highlight. Here, Father Dougal (essentially) chats to the always-stylish Gazzetta Football Italia legend James ‘AC Jimbo’ Richardson about the Rome derby. Crikey.
