Exceptionally sad. Particularly the last question.

He'll always be a legend and we can only hope that he will find a way to overcome his demons.

McGrath was just talking about his career, his life etc.... sad suitation. The programe ended with Ryan asking McGrath would he like a drink now, McGrath said,What now ? pause........... no.............pause, looks around with a empty look on his face, actually yes.

There was one stage were he asked for the camerasto be turned off. How the great can fall. :(

Its hard to know if the great man can ever beat his demons after seeing that Roo. No man should be kept away from his kids for 2 yrs. Terribly sad.....Will there not be a tendency for him to drink more being in a remote part of Wicklow or is this part of the healing process? Have a feeling it could be the former. :(

What can be said about PMG that has already not been said, the man is a fallen legend, feel so so sorry for him ! I've seen him round Bray loads of times looking the worse for wear.

What does he do now ?
