Good ole Aurthur, I don’t even drink the stuff and I feel groggy. I mean, it was his birthday, so it would have been rude not to celebrate it in some form or another. And celebrate I did. Thank crunchie its Friday. Tea and lots of it will get me through this day.

The Emmy’s last night were all about Archie and Glee for this Gaelick writer. Was I disappointed? Or did our bisexual character (Kalinda in The Good Wife) and lesbian actress (Jane Lynch) do the do? Plus, what about the gay guys, Neil Patrick Harris and everything else in Glee? Read on if you want to know, or wait until this evening and it’ll be on RTE 2 at 9.30pm.

This year, Glee has been nominated in most Primetime Emmy award categories, but insiders agree that they probably won’t win any of the big ones. Glee is an Emmy anomaly in that it’s youth-led; based in high-school with unknown actors. Most of the acting nominees have been around for years.
