Dunphy versus Kenny

Madam, - Eamon Dunphy is abrasive, acerbic, controversial, and capable of generating strong feelings

Madam, - Eamon Dunphy is abrasive, acerbic, controversial, and capable of generating strong feelings. You may not like him but you can't ignore him. This is the stuff of which good television is made. After all, the late Gilbert Harding of BBC Television wasn't everybody's cup of tea.

If, coincidentally, there is a feud between two people in the background, it is an ideal setting for the main protagonists.

The suave, urbane Mr Kenny needn't worry. This might even be a shot in the arm for the old lady of Montrose. - Yours, etc.,
