As a so call counsellor I am blown away by Tommy's presence and interview skilks. Empathy, unconditional positive regard, I could go on and on...💜This was a masterclass and so moving

Brilliant 👏

This is far beyond an interview. This is a masterpiece of conversation. I have never seen anything like it. Tommy Tiernan has created a new genre, all previous and subsequent interviews are now irrelevant. Bravo Tommy Tiernan.

Stephen is so honest and genuine, Tommy is a fab interviewer.

The fact that Stephen was comfortable enough to openly talk about his wife and family was very moving. Tommy Tiernan really has the best chat show in the world, bar none.

not having an audience gave this an intensity and intimacy you rarely see

From Buenos Aires, Argentina, i love Stephen Rea. Slainte!.

Amazing interview! Tommy is an amazing listener and a great communicator. So natural. Stephen Rea is a superb actor and has a lovely manner about him.

Stephen is a very deep respectful man to other's. A beautiful video with a very classy man 👏👏

Loved this conversation, I'm really surprised by how open and unguarded Stephen is. Such a brilliant actor.

I too loved listening to the conversation. Not surprised by Stephen Rea's relaxed conversational manner. I think he is a great actor BECAUSE he is able to be "open and unguarded". He puts himself, his true self, into his characters. That's why his characters are so beloved. Nothing more attractive than authenticity. And, um, note that he said he loves hanging out with women. Not trying to start a new battle of the sexes here, but sometimes in conversation with women, men will participate in subjects that are unlikely to arise in men only conversations. I reckon that Mr Rea has honed his conversational skills during hours of chat with mostly women. And why not! I don't even know why I thought it important to tap out the previous sentence. Stephen Rea is a brilliant guy. So is Tommy Tiernan. Nuff said.

I first saw Stephen Rea in 'Angel' in 1982. He was brilliant then and was just as brilliant in the more recent 'The English'. An enthralling interview.

I am so thankful I accidentally stumbled across this piece . I was both enthralled and deeply moved by it and captivated by two very genuinely fine and natural artists . This has lifted my spirits - thank you

This was mega, best TV interview I've seen

Also here care of Adam Buxton. I've loved Tommy for years, we don't see enough of him outside Ireland I think he's such an important voice. The idea of this chat show is genius and this is wonderful.

Really liking these in depth interviews. I think it suits not having an audience. It's more intimate and personal.

Wow.

I feel like I have been eavesdropping on a deep and profound conversation between two men sitting at the table beside mine.

The Adam Buxton podcast also brought me to this interview. This makes every other interview I have ever watched seem like superficial tosh. No laughter tracks, just sitting in on two very interesting and smart blokes having a really interesting chat.

Lockdown number 1 was a special time for us. The first time my husband had long time off work since he was 14.

"Are ya a sad man?" is a wonderful question (genuinely not being facetious here)

Stephen is a real human.

His memoirs is one I would cue for.

His face is getting old but hair still outstanding..

This wouldn't work with an audience ... he wouldn't have felt comfortable enough.

Feltrim Hill, not too far from me in Swords, the fucking council demolished an ancient tomb there and an old windmill built by Dutch workers in the 1600's, Beckett used to wander up there years ago for a bit of peace and a stroll, it was a favourite spot of his, and some painter, both at different times, forget his name.

I love the space in these chats. The pregnant pauses that go on and on. Agree that an audience would ruin the intimacy. Can't see the level of opening up that happened here happening with an audience. ( Over seen many of them with an audience, and they work, but sometimes you don't gain, and you do loose, by having a load of people there waiting to be entertained.
