Episode 9 The Nolan Show

How well and thank you. I don't know what it is about this low.

They are pretending they like me. Thank you so much bordering on us.

Here is what is coming up. Lope in syndrome sufferer born in the

Clinton is fighting in court for the right to end his own life.

Should he be allowed to do so? We go under cover to expose a crooked

car dealer, cheating the public by selling vehicles that have been

clocked. Allotted was an irreverent take on the Catholic church. --

Father Ted. Ardal O'Hanlon joins us. And what on earth is going on, up

on the hill, about tickets for the Jubilee party? All will be revealed

later. Thank you for joining us, ladies and gentlemen. We have a

packed sure. And there are lots of ways for you to get involved at

Miserable, demeaning, and dignified and intolerable. The words of Tony

Nicholson, a sufferer of locked-in syndrome. He has gone to court to

try to win the right to in his life. Having a stroke in 2005 left him

paralysed below the neck and unable to speak. He communicates by

blinking. Should he have the legal right to decide when de end his

life? Tony and his wife during a live from their home in Wiltshire.

-- joins me live. Thank you for talking to us this evening. Jean,

you are pushing this on behalf of pony and the family. Can you just

tell me why -- Tony. Can you tell me why you do not what your has

been to continue with his life? Because it is his wish. None of us

have pushed him into it. We are just doing what he wants. Tony can

communicate, it is difficult, but he can - how does he do it? He uses

a board, this Perspex board, he looks at letters and collars and he

blinks and he gets billboards it. Can you ask Tony why live with you

and his family is not what going on with? Letter I H A V E To Suffer.

Every. Day. And. I. Have. Had. Enough. I have to suffer every day

and I have had enough. I am certainly no one could judge. It

will be interesting to see what you think at home tonight. You will see

the details coming up on the screen about how to contact us. Tony, when

you said "suffer", can you define I'm. Fed. Like. A. Baby. I. Go. To.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 53 seconds

The. Toilet. In. A. Sling. And. Generally. Pushed. Around. To. Get.

Showered. A... You get a general idea? I do, yes. I could have

recorded the segment this evening. But, I wanted to convey the reality

of communicating between you has been that yourself. Some people

would say, look at the law than devotion, look at the interaction

between you and your husband -- the love and devotion, and that you are

doing so much for him. Is that not what life is about? It is not

enough for him. Some people have said, is he not wanting to go,

being selfish? I would be selfish, trying to keep him here, because

his like here is intolerable. intolerable for you, too? For me,

seen him like that, yes. I understand how he feels. We have

been talking about this for a very long time and he has never wavered

in his decision. It is what he wants. All I can do is support him.

And you're fighting a case for Tony to have the right to decide how he

will die. That is happening now. Yes, it is. The Act must be a lot

of pressure. -- that must be. not too bad. We have been well

prepared by the legal team about what would happen and we have a

long way to go, but we are determined to see it through.

has prepared a statement about the case. We can hear that statement

AUTOMATED VOICE READS. I know that you have stayed up late to talk to

us, Tony, and I want to wish you all the best in the direction that

you going, with your life and with your family. Thank you for staying

up late and talking to us, here in It is pretty, sorry, that has gone,

it is easier to make a decision on what Tony should do. He was a

birdie at the man, and he had a stroke, and that is why he is left.

Imagine that wars you. What would you want for you? -- that was you.

The numbers are coming up on screen for you to get in contact with us.

We have a gentleman to it from the back he wants to speak. -- but from

the back -- third from. He should definitely have the right. He is

infinitely suffering. He is an intelligent man. He should have the

right to choose. And yet, you think about the sanctity of life, how

precious life is. That man is communicating. What if it was not a

loving family? How would he be protected? He is just communicating

and no more. He's not living a life. He is really suffering. He really

wants to take his own life go stop he's intelligent enough to make his

own decision. He should be able to do it. Kevin Fitzpatrick is with us,

who is from an organisation a post to assist the suicide. -- opposed

to assisted suicide. What do you say about that man, taking a we his

I am not, I was not and I have no intention of trying to interfere

with Tony Nicholson's decision about his life or his death. The

issue for us, the big issue for us as a group of disabled people and

others, who are contesting not Tony Nick Mullins and's individual

choice, but what he's after... What he is after is a change to the law

of murder in this country. That change will bring catastrophic

differences. Protections could be built in. Unfortunately, that is

not the case. How could protection not be built in, so there is an

assessment of what the individual wants, what the next of kin would

want. There would then be independent assessments from

doctors, the medical professions, the psychometric have -- the

psychiatric profession. Why is it not enough? It is because

fundamentally, it would change the relationship between the doctor and

the patient in a way where the doctor will be legally entitled to

kill patients. Safety for Tony is dying, in his view. That is not the

issue. The issue is this. What actually happens, when you change

the law to enable you from Asia, has as -- euthanasia, as has

happened in other parts of the world, is that you bring a huge

raft of pages that are played out in the lives and deaths of people

who are vulnerable. There is no evidence of that. It is not true.

It is perfectly true. We can bad back and forward on the issue but

it is perfectly true and there are statistics there to prove it. The

death rate in any of the country's where voluntary euthanasia, and I

stress voluntary, where I am totally against it when somebody

else makes the decision, the decision has to rest with the

People were dying anyway. They were just given the option of having a

peaceful and paint free death and I think that is everybody's right. --

pain free death. I wish it was true but what is happening in Holland,

the death-rate in Holland, according to Dutch medical all

authorities, is being reduced in terms of voluntary euthanasia.

problem is they are not counting in the statistics, people who are

being killed. These are non- voluntary euthanasia is. What is

happening in Holland is that the practice of deep palliative

sedation is killing nearly 10,000 people a year, and that has not

been revealed. Share your own experience. I am talking about the

overall death rate in the country doesn't increase. My own experience

is that I have been a carer for the last 12 years. My wife has MS. Well,

my partner, same difference. She is the person I love it. In giving up

work, we discussed what the future held for us. Simple things like

finance, because I was giving up work, she already had to give up

work so we had no income apart from disability and carer's allowance.

My partner is a very intelligent person. She said herself where if

she did and one to tolerate her MS, she wanted the option of opting out.

Did you try to talk out of it? course I did, I don't want her

going anywhere else, I don't want her dying. But the assurance I have

given her is that if the time comes when she does want to die, I will

help her. You could go to jail for that. I accept that. She has got to

the point where it is impossible for her to take her own life. The

only reason she is alive now, because she would have gone to

Dignitas in Switzerland five years ago, the only reason she is alive

is that she has been given the assurance I will help her die.

Where is Bernie Smith? Is that murder? Legally, we are talking

about murder. The reality is, if we help someone to die, if we aid them

in that, it is murder. We are talking about changing the law that

will that our doctors murderous is dead of healers -- that will make

or doctors. Murderers instead of healers. You are trying to tell

me... A gentleman here that is a carer, a dedicated care, doesn't

care? Isn't in the right place? Why is the state intervening, have any

of us got a right to intervene in the relationship and real life

situation that he has with his loved one? There is love and

healing. To destroy someone's life, to open the floodgates, makes our

elderly, handicapped, disabled... How do you know? You are not there,

I am not there. People in Holland, instead of carrying donor cards,

they are carrying cards to say, let me live, don't kill me. Front row,

blonde hair, go ahead. Where do you draw the line, if you do allow

somebody the right to die? As a solicitor, I find that it would be

difficult to legislate. I am wondering where you draw the line.

Why would it be difficult to legislate? Because it should be

based on the facts of East -- each case. You can't draw up legislation

for every single case. I am wondering if you did implement

legislation, in five years' time, do you loosen the legislation and

keep listening it? -- keep Tell us about Leah. At the age of

21, on 24th September 2011, took a massive brain stem and stroke,

which left her locked in. At that particular moment in time, when the

doctors told us they didn't know if Leah was going to live, then they

told us she would live by she would be locked in, in my mind that was

actually worse. Because somebody who I laughed, somebody who was so

vibrant, so full of life, was due to go back to university to do her

final year. She had had a job at the end of that. She had everything

going for her and all of a sudden, gone. She is also severely dyslexic.

She used the board that we saw Tony using. Somebody who is dyslexic,

trying to spell out to you with their eyes is extremely difficult.

She remained totally locked in for eight weeks, she didn't move

anything at all. That is what we were told she was going to be. I

stated to the doctor in the room when I was told, that I would go to

prison, I could not have watched my beautiful daughter live there like

that. -- lie there like that. thought you would be able to take

your daughter's life? When the doctor spoke to us, yes. Leah had

said, her face is very strong and I was so angry with God as to how he

could possibly do this to us. How he could do it to Leah, who had

given her whole life to him, was doing so much when, and she is left

lying there. What it changed your mind? -- was doing so much for him.

It was the support around us. The programme on Monday night lasted

half-an-hour, it took us two hours to watch it. For the first time,

Leah was able to express how she felt. Ashy understand any of what

we are saying? -- - she understand? Do you understand what you we are

saying tight? You do. You have heard a man saying he has a similar

situation to you and he wants to die. Do you think he should die?

Leah says for eight weeks, she was totally locked in, and she says, it

was sheer hell on earth. She has said this to you? Yes. She said she

wouldn't have wanted to die at that sort of stage, she would have

wanted to give it a bit of time, but her prayer would have been

after a while, Leah says her prayer during that time was let me die.

Does Leah think... After that length of time, Lear thinks that

what he has been going through, he should be listened to. You think he

should be allowed to die? But you very much want to live. Thank you

so much. Thank you for coming tonight. A gentleman in the front

row, hello. I certainly appreciate this gentleman's case, I watched it

with interest over this last week or so and it brought back some

instances in my own family. Two similar instances, one from

Alzheimer's and one from my own mother, who had cancer. That lady

there said the right word, support. We have got to support individuals

like that, through the medical profession, through the family,

That this discussion is about the right to have individual choice for

decide for ourselves. Do we? Yes or no. How would you call it?

depends on the personality. Would you like the choice for you?

would not have the choice unless the family or the doctors were

around. Why is this individual trying to change the law? If he can

take sustenance, although it is difficult for him, and I saw the

Dutch situation... Why can he not take those drugs himself? I am an

able-bodied person, I can take my own life. As somebody who becomes

ill or -- more ill, your wife is happy to be as she is, but she

cannot take her own life when she comes back. She has the only option

not have the quality of her life that she wants. If she wants to do

it, she has to do it before she becomes incapable. So many of you

at home want to get in touch. Hello, Philip. What do you think? I think

David in the world chair, he should have the right to die. When you

live in that position -- in the wheelchair. The courts should let

him commit suicide. I see in the notes, you were in a car accident.

Left paralysed? From the chest down. Do you not want to live? 14 years

ago I was thinking of committing suicide. I was able to do it but I

had something to fight for. Doesn't everybody have something to fight

for? A lot of people have not a lot to fight for. There is

embarrassment and dignity. I am a vulnerable person. Thank you for

calling me tonight. Go-ahead. the millions of Alzheimer's

sufferers had known they were going out the disease, would you want to

What we are looking at is not just saying a person's decision to end

their own lives, but a change in the law with regard to murder. They

are asking that a doctor intervene here, and that completely alters

the whole relationship between a doctor and their patients. It is

built on trust and confidence and caring and compassion. Right from

the time of Hippocrates, all the ethical codes have been... They

give no noxious substance to my patients. You're thinking in the

interest of the doctor rather than the patient. It is because it is a

very complicated situation. We are not talking about a simple

situation which compassion can be legislated for in every case, in

advance. The problem we have got is these are human relationships, they

are very complicated and you can't take one individual case and make a

law for everybody. We don't, we don't. That is the problems. There

are many other situations in life individual case and makes a

decision based on the details. Kevin Maguire. Doctors now switch

off life-support machines. I have seen it done in my extended family.

King George V was sent on his way in 1936 with an overdose of

morphine. It happens now. Watching Tony, it was heartbreaking and I

would make every MP and every peer in the Houses of Parliament watch

that. I cannot believe they wouldn't change the law. If we had

the money and the wherewithal, he could go to Switzerland, go to

Dignitas, they wouldn't be prosecuted. But he is here, they

don't have the money, and she would The select committee of the House

of Lords look at this in 1994 and said that the law should not be

changed because there could be no safeguards to prevent abuse. We are

not only talking about one person. Because we cannot build in

safeguards, Tory has his individual choice taken away. Your Parker

might get to this stage. And I will end up in jail, because I will help

There is a fundamental that is being ignored. The right to die

exists already. They have is no such thing as the right to dive.

The suicide law was enacted in 1971 and everyone has a right to commit

suicide with and a lot. We are talking about the murder Act.

let me control this. We're talking about assisted suicide. About

someone who cannot do it for themselves so they need a doctor or

other individual. Another individual to help them. You're

talking about safeguards. We look at the situation in the Netherlands.

I watch the programme the other night and they listened to the

doctor talking about safeguards and about personal choice. But one-

third of those cases of assisted death are none voluntary. He there

are safeguards built into whether a doctor terms of Orly support

machine. The problem here is, just one second, what we are dealing

with is an emotional reaction to are very difficult situation. But,

the truth is, people's lives are being taken already in Holland.

is not an emotional reaction to Tony, who is suffering, who is in

torture. Of course we can build in safeguards. I watched the debate on

gay marriage last week and I were shouting at the television. If you

don't agree with same-sex marriages, don't marry someone of the same sex.

If you do not think it is right for you, don't. But, for those who do,

they should be allowed to. Change the law. What happens to people

like me, what happened to Jane Campbell, all the all people who

get thrown out of hospitals at 90 years of age at 3 o'clock in the

morning now, this is happening now, this is happening to people with

learning difficulties... It is happening already. We are out of

time, I am afraid. We will continue talking about this on Twitter. We

will continue talking about it on the Stephen Nolan radio show on

Radio Ulster average morning. I thank everyone for coming in for

this discussion. Give them a round Thinking of buying a second-hand

car? There are dodgy dealers out there waiting to rip you off. We

went undercover to track them down. Have a look at this. Would you buy

a used car from this dealer? Knight Frank or village cars Ireland,

limited, just outside Straw banned. He is trying to sell has this

little car. -- Strabane. There is something he has forgotten to

mention. This Citroen has been clocked. It is time to take it for

a test drive. Here is what we have found out. The real mileage is over

137,000 miles. Frank has advertised it at 94,000 miles. The undercover

phone-in shows that -- undercover from ring shows that that is what

the clock shows, too. 44,000 miles have been wiped from the history of

this car. It is time for Frank's What do you think Frank would tell

This was not the only dodgy car up for sale. This dealer have another

three cars for sale online with We found one can advertised as

having 75,000 miles on the clock, but online checks showed nearly

twice that amount. Another was listed at 64,000 miles. When we

checked it out, the reality is just under 80,000 miles. And we found

one more, the advert sets and the 4,000 miles, the online records

showed a over 50,000 miles more. Someone has clocked these cars.

Changing the mileage on the cars is not illegal, but selling on the car

that has been clocked, is. It is an offence to mislead the buyer.

Trading standards say that clocking is on the rise. If you are looking

for a bargain, do not get too attached and know when to walk away.

Do not get mixed up with a car that has ahead and past. The law says

that the seller should take all steps to be sure the car he is

selling has the right number of miles on display. The cases that we

have looked at have had cars with 50,000 miles knocked off the

mileage. How significant is that? You're losing a quarter of the

car's history with modern cars, which is a huge amount of mileage.

You're talking about four or five years of the car's life. The

setting the mileage is not rocket science. Anyone can do it. There is

no legislation. It seems that it is you who is losing out. We would ask

people to check the MOT certificates. And to check the

service history of the car. People do not know what they are getting

if the car has been clocked. Always ask for the log book. It

will allow you to check mileage from MoT records. We know for sure

that this guy has been clocked. And just listen to how convincing

and the dog. I am ringing and ringing and Frank does not seem to

be answering. He knows that it is me. He said that he would not sell

any car, knowing that the speedometer had been clocked. And

now, he will not speak to me. We know of three of his cars, three?

That have been clocked. Sold by an alleged cars Ireland, limited.

stood the test of time. It has a legion of fans. Father Ted is a

main stars joins us now it. Please give refuge will come to our door

Hanlon. -- a huge will come to Ardal O'Hanlon -- welcome. What we

tried to do with the guests, we try to have a bit of fun, and to have a

laugh. We have doorstep a dodgy car dealer. It has been a very heavy

show. Are you sure that I am an appropriate guest? Wars Liam Neeson

not available? It reminds me of the first time I was on a chat show. I

wasn't young stand-up comedian and I did the late, late show don't in

Dublin. It was a big thrill for me and my family. The first part of

the show was about people who had been murdered in horrific

circumstances. All the guests were crying. The talk-show host had a

big tear in his eye, and then he introduced me, and now, for a bit

of a laugh, here is Ardal O'Hanlon. And I am, like, hello. And everyone

is just looking at me, get off, you! It takes confidence to come

out and do what you have done. Your leading the interview. Have you

always been like that from very young? Always confident? Not in the

slightest. I was incredibly shy. People who knew me growing up

cannot believe that I do this. It baffles them. I was quiet,

anonymous. No one knew I existed. You often find that with a comedian,

that sometimes, the person that is so confident in front of the screen

is quite shy of it. It is all compensation, I think. -- over

compensation. I cannot explain it. I am too shy to go into that!

Father Ted happened, did you realise how big it was going to be?

I was working as a stand-up comic in London. I was delighted that it

was doing well. I was asked to go to this audition. I knew the

writers, slightly. I went along, not expecting anything. I just went

along. I did not hear anything for six months. Eventually I got a

telephone call to say that I had got the part. I really did not

expect it to amount to anything. I am delighted at how it has turned

out. If you take what you did in that show, an irreverent look at

the Catholic church, and look at the serious top there has been

about the Catholic church recently, what is your real life do on the

Catholic church? -- view. It has given me so much! I think the

cardinal should resign. I think that the Pope should resign. Got

himself should seriously consider his position! He must have known

what was going on. The worst part, from my point of do, is you cannot

have any association with the Catholic church, you cannot even

admit to having been the fictional I used to do stuff about it in my

stand-up routine and I used to feel bad about it. I am not really God-

fearing but I am a cultural Catholic and I am conscious of that

background. What is a cultural Catholic. I am so glad I said that

right! It is someone who recognises and appreciate certain elements of

the Catholic heritage. It is inescapable. If you like Catholic,

you are always a Catholic. lower-middle-class Catholic?

someone who is lapsed and possibly doesn't have any faith, but

appreciates the role that the Church plays in society in terms of

christenings and marriage and funerals and stuff like that, they

do a good job. I feel bad when you knock the Church but they have to

be knocked, because as an institution, they have failed the

people, particularly with the abuse scandals and more importantly, the

cover ups. People are so upset and disappointed but it didn't stop

80,000 people turning up at Croke Park for a mass last Sunday, but

they you go. You were going to get I just wanted to know, if the

opportunity ever came about to do Father Ted again, would you do it?

I would like to live my life all over again but that is probably not

going to happen. No, definitely not, is the answer. We did three series

and the writers were thrilled with the quality of the three series.

Milk it. Market! I am a puritan at heart. -- milk, milk it! This is

what the BBC keeps saying to me. -- this is what the BBC keeps

saying to me. You are doing a good job of it! A bizarre show! It has

been fantastic and grade. But we were delighted to move on. --

fantastic and great. A lot of people don't realise I have moved

on. Because if you are so popular and you reach that level of success,

people like John want more and they wanted to stay in what they are

locked into. Is that frustrating? little bit. An unfortunate phrase

used in the middle of that, but... Really? No, it is not frustrating,

I have had an enjoyable career to date. With a lot of variety in it.

And every day is a new challenge. know you are in to your football,

who are you supporting? I was supporting Ireland. Until a few

days ago. I am just back from Poland. I did my stint, my duty.

You would move that allegiance on to England. What are you trying to

do to me? I have got to go back to Dublin. No. I don't have a hang-up

about England. I don't support them in football but I would if they

just played better football and that is frankly the case. I have

tried not to indoctrinate my children in a negative way. I do 5

live on a Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The Northern Ireland

punters tell me of when I come back to Radio Ulster. I find myself

saying we, come on England, we have got to win this. On Monday morning

I am saying, did you see how cocky they are, they play awful. Move it

every time. What about an All- Ireland football team? That is a

brilliant idea. The tee shot had that idea a few days ago. Any time

we have a real bad time in football, this issue resurfaces again. On the

surface, it sounds like a brilliant idea. I would prefer to merge with

Spain or someone like that, no disrespect to Northern Ireland

There are 350 in this audience but it is striking that your clapped

him for saying that. I am sure they feel the same about merging with

Southern Ireland. The thing about football, I am a football fan. This

is our out let, the little bit of tribalism that we indulge in. It is

very sensible on the surface in so far as you would have a marginal

better football team. With Jonny Evans, we might have lost 3-0

instead of 4-0. In terms of administration it makes more sense.

But football is not rational. Football supporters are irrational.

There is a guy here, I needed to be quick. Would you be interested in

writing another song for the Eurovision?

A joint song, it would be... thought, there is a decent bloke,

and you are. Thank you for coming in. In the show called bizarre, we

are going to turn into politics again. Have you got a ticket to the

Queen's Jubilee Garden Party? I got one... I haven't got a ticket.

It has caused a stink here. The allocation of tickets has upset

callers to the Nolan radio show. All of the tickets seemed to have

been gone only a few minutes after the phone line opened. Well, the

TUV leader Jim Allister is calling for the NIO to complain about where

the tickets have gone. He is here, give him a round of applause.

What do you mean, where have the tickets gone? I have got it in

black and white from the NIO, political parties and independents

were offered -- offered four tickets per member, what is the

problem? You believe that? It is what the NIO had said. We are told

there are 20,000 tickets and 10,000 went online at nine am yesterday

morning. And evaporated within six minutes. We are told another 10,000

were distributed undisclosed sources. Which includes, apparently,

four Per MLA. Which includes certain groups, be fair. I am sure

there are a lot of deserving groups. People will be disappointed. This

is going to be a very dress occasion for most people and there

was high expectation, and I don't want to dampen those. But I think

there is a necessity that it is done in an open and transparent way.

When you pick up with in your community that there appears to be

certain political outlets which have no shortage of tickets, that

is hard to square with each MLA only getting four or five And

presumably MPs also getting the same. The question is how many do

ministers get, political parties and MPs get. How was it that the

next day after the party was announced, before any MLA was told

how many tickets they were getting, they appeared on Facebook from the

DUP, an advert, if you want to go to the garden party, contact your

DUP MP, or MLA. How did they know... So you know, we asked the other

parties to come in, none of them would do so. Which is interesting

in itself. Maybe because they knew their allocation, they get four

tickets per member and it is up to them how they distribute their

tickets. You are having a cheap pop. You don't know the facts yourself.

I have said very little until the matter began to exercise people

because of the unfairness. If you are saying each politician is only

getting four tickets and there is a party with 35 people in Stormont,

that is 140, 150 tickets. You do not go on Facebook to say, if you

want to go to the garden party, contact your MLA. If he only has

four, there's not much point contacted him. It is interesting

that no other party has been prepared to lay their cards on the

table and saved from all political sources, how many tickets did they

get. -- and say. Ian, what have you done with your tickets? I have my

tickets here, they arrived today. I ordered five yesterday morning. On

the internet. I sat with two windows open, one had the Greenwich

Mean Time ticking by, the other was Ticketmaster. I was getting those

tickets. A lot of my family members went to London for the celebrations

in London. If it wasn't for work commitments, would have paid a

fortune. Are they the tickets that are on eBay now? No, was going to

put two on this morning, whilst you're talking about it on your

show. Then I had a gentleman and when I heard him speaking, I was

like, he can have that ticket if he wants it. You were going to put it

on eBay and you had people saying they really wanted it and you

changed your mind, you have a conscience. I wouldn't put it down
