And, you know, Alan Byrne's wondering, are there vacancies in RTE?

And I'm thinking, what's radio like to work in, you know?

So, we're moving sideways at that stage.

But I have to say, what a time to move sideways because...

I started a radio show and the stuff that's being sent in is Blur and Suede and Oasis.

And I can only say it's incredibly easy to put a great music show together when albums like that are coming across your doorstep.

It really is.

There's the famous chase scene where Ewan McGregor has been chased after the shoplifting thing.

Yeah, the feeling seems to be that once you show drug use in any way, shape or form, you're in some way kind of glamorising it.

But it's showing the nightclubs and it's showing the excitement of the time.
