Hitchens.

Watch the debate on Catholicism with Hitchens and Fry on one side and a bishop and an idiot politicians on the other. The pro-catholic side are so unbelievably outclassed it's not even a contest.

To everyone else... Gay Byrne deserves a lot of credit.

He was host of the Late Late Show in Ireland for decades and during that time he presided over some incredibly contentious debates on a number of issues in Irish society (contraception, homosexuality, divorce, abortion, child abuse, the north, political corruption, etc.). Looking back it was a slightly bizarre mix of Letterman, Bill Maher and Questions and Answers on the BBC. Despite the fact that Byrne himself would be a reasonably mainstream guy, he IMO hosted the debates fairly (and frankly, considerably better than most modern debate shows).

Thanks, moo!

It looks like it was an epic gathering of musicians. It' be nice if there was more of it out there but I think it might be hard to find.

Hi Fusionaut, hope your good! Coping with a hangover myself... Well I'm not really sure other than it being "The late late show" with Gay Byrne. I will have a look though and see if I can find anything further, I'm sure there must be more information out there! I will give you a shout when I get something else on it!
