Do you have any idea how old you just made some of us feel?Hadn’t heard of this chap until now.
Answer: yes; nothing absurd or detracting about him.
In fairness he retired in 1984. That's 38 years ago. If you remember him well then you are old.Do you have any idea how old you just made some of us feel?
He was a college drop-out actor, quite to rule breaker for his time.An excellent enunciator and probably the most popular and well known figure in RTE in the 60’s , apparently he had a legion of female admirers who used to put on their finery before sitting down to watch him on the news !
And his surname was Mitchel not the more common Mitchell.
