BERTIE BIT OF A JOKE.


Byline: MAEVE QUIGLEY

FATHER Ted creator Arthur Mathews Arthur Mathews may refer to one of the following:
  • Arthur Frank Mathews, American painter (1860-1945)
  • Arthur Mathews (writer), Irish comedy writer (1959-)
 has revealed he put bits of Bertie Ahern in his new character.

(2) (Real-Time Executive) The operating system used in the HP 1000 series. See HP 1000.
 One tomorrow night.

And Arthur - who co-wrote the series with I Keano mastermind Paul Woodfull Paul Woodfull (born in 1958 in Dublin, Ireland) is an Irish writer, actor, comedian and musician. He has written two television series, a CD and the comedy musical play I, Keano. He is a graduate of the National College of Art and Design in Dublin.  - said Val, played by Ardal O'Hanlon, is a mix of many Irish politicians.

He added: "He's based on many political faces.

"He just goes into politics because his dad did it and he hasn't got the imagination to think of something he can do for himself.

"There are a good few political dynasties in Irish politics and there's a little bit of Bertie in Val because he likes to please people.

"But he's not based on anyone in particular."
