But then we take quite a twist into what sort of seemed to me a bit of a Stephen King sort of territory and that's where the story kind of gets quite ludicrous in parts, could I suggest?

I think there is this, it's almost hard to believe that we're actually talking about the 1970s.

On Graham Norton's A Keeper, R.O. Kwon's The Incendiaries and Georgina Harding's Land of the Living with David Hunt, Aoife Clifford and Anne Summers

On Graham Norton's A Keeper, R.O. Kwon's The Incendiaries and Georgina Harding's Land of the Living with David Hunt, Aoife Clifford and Anne Summers

On Graham Norton's A Keeper, R.O. Kwon's The Incendiaries and Georgina Harding's Land of the Living with David Hunt, Aoife Clifford and Anne Summers

He as a character was really fascinating and it's a very recognisable Irish character of this, you know, almost non-speaking person but bottled up inside and what's sort of going on in his head.
