A true Irish legend a writer a poet and a revolutionary R.I.P. slan go fail ❤❤
Incredible man and author
As me mam would say, "He got the map of Ireland all over his face"
Beautiful Irish accent.
Terrible English accent
You should see the sate of Ireland now Brendan!
"I go to better beds, but I sleep less well".
a genius Brendan Behan!
I’d like to have seen the interview with Malcolm muggerige where it all kicked off apparently..
His appearance must have shocked viewers at the time.
Lov his work but God was he loaded in this interview.
He seems sober to me. Do you know Irish people.
Sadly died 5 years after this interview.
Brendan lived 5 more years after he did that interview, he was a man of hope not despair ❤
His manor seems surprisingly modern. It's like a contemporary interview made to look 60 years old.
Brendan was very progressive in his outlook. Sadly he died very young at just 41😢
Yes, you are right. This is probably a reflection of the restrictive nature of the media at the time. Up until sometime in the 1980s every voice on TV sounded a bit like this interviewer. If you look back on Yourube you will be shocked at how late this southern middle class dominance persisted. I would hesitate to say Behan was just a normal working class man as his talent, broad outlook and articulacy are far from normal.
He sleeps in better beds less well ... thats what fame and fortune does.
A man out of time.
He looks hungover 😂😂
He went "to better beds but I sleep less well". Fantastic line❤
He attempted the "I was always like this" joke twice but the interviewer was too bland to recognise it
What joke is that?
Looks like Guy Garvey from Elbow
Borstal Boy is a good book, but Behan was an overhyped writer.
Bollocks.
