You’ll read it here first. My next plan. To write the Irish TV drama blockbuster to end them all. Forget ‘Holding’ or ‘Smother’ or ‘Normal People’ or ‘Very Long Conversations With Friends’ or 'Lads In Shadows Saying He Needs To Be Kilt'.

I’m talking about Stephenses Night. A one with actual normal country people. Coming home for Christmas and all meeting up in the local for a night that will change their lives forever.
