    I agree he is so outdated it will be a relief to get him off UTV.

    Please take him down south and keep him, or push him off a cliff or something.

    Same second rate James Young impression for 20 odd years now and an absolute ballbag off screen as well.

    Well he can't be any worse than that girl that was introducing Corrie last night- really awful - stuttering and stumbling over the words- Corrie was nearly over by the time she introduced it- she is probably a very nice girl but a terrible continuity announcer:o

    I met him once and he was nothing but lovely to me and my friends, stayed and chatted with us for about 20 minutes and was happy to pose for pictures and chat to everyone who approached him whilst he was with us. Perhaps you caught him on an off day?

    He was in the petrol station on the Holywood Rd, looking daggers at everyone, he must have left something at the counter because he barged right back up to the front of the queue muttered something under his breath and flounced off. Then he reversed straight out in front of my OH in his silly wee yellow motor and started giving it rice through the window, that level of muppetry is more than an off day.

    The Republic has been in mourning for Julian since UTV Ireland launched.
    His bright orange face and chirpy manner has been welcomed in the homes of all Irish people for generations now...we can't just expect to do without him!
    The man is an institution, a "national treasure" even, it isn't fair to limit his audience to a handful up North.
    Bring him back now!!!!!

    Is that some kind of euphemism?

    Surely in the RoI, they can add UTV NI on Sky using the add channels or is it now blocked? They could also get a Freesat receiver and watch on that....

    I hope that is a poor attempt at humour.

    Please please extradite him to UTV Ireland. He is a complete and utter narcacist with no talent or class.

    Just get him anywhere except on our TV screens! Gillian lives near me so I know all about him as you see him walking up the road basking in his fame.

    You just know he is a right bitch.
