The TV charm of Moya Doherty

Occasionally one comes across something on TV, watches it for a second or so and then says, gosh, this is great television.

She is a woman who is known and recognisable to most Irish people. I had heard her name regularly and often, knew something of her work, but knew nothing about her.

On the RTE News Now channel late on Christmas night Mike Murphy was interviewing Moya Doherty.

I repeat, I know nothing about her but her screen performance on RTE was simply spectacular.

Her clarity, her articulation, her charm, how she spoke about her parents, some of the best I have seen.
