Tonight’s episode is all about Grainne Mhaol and she’s one angry woman.
We’ve been enjoying Neil Delamere’s new show Holding Out For A Hero, which is a series with a historic background mixed with humour and it has been an unqualified success so far.
Tonight’s episode features Gráinne Mhaol the pirate queen of Connaught. Arrrgh.
Through Neil’s unique brand of stand-up and sketches starring the immense comedy talent of Foil Arms and Hog, and Tara Flynn, he re-imagines scenes from Gráinne’s life including the supposed meeting that took place between the fiery-tempered Irish chieftain and Queen Elizabeth I; two grand old Dames in their 60’s, both of whom broke the mould.
This scene, featuring Tara Flynn as Grainne, is just priceless…
Holding Our For A Hero is on at 9pm on RTE2 tonight.
