Stephen says sláinte

DID you hear the one about the big British star who walked into a pub in Ros Na Rún?

See for yourself on Thursday on TG4 (8.30pm). Stephen Fry’s much publicised cameo appearance in the Irish soap is here at last.

Not quite a ‘blink and you’ll miss it’ scene, but the former Jeeves and Blackadder star only appears in the pub for a short exchange with the local barflies. Unsurprisingly, he’s perfect as the bumbling Englishman, Irish dictionary in hand, trying to communicate with the natives.
