Great news for Brian.
About time he got recognition in Ireland and the Irish media.

He did get plenty of recognition in Ireland (and votes from Ireland) when he was in BB. Ditto when he was on 'Hell's Kitchen'. Deservedly so, too, in my opinion.
Other stuff he would have done on British t.v. wouldn't attract the same attention here.
I think he could have carved a niche for himself on Irish t.v., had he wanted to, in the years following his BB victory. I could have seen a Saturday night live chat show, for example. I was under the impression that he chose to be based in the U.K.
Delighted to hear about this Prime Time programme, and wish him further success.
