Comic Paddy Raff says he never had any plans to be on TV.
But he’s now become the busiest man in showbiz with a pilot, a Christmas special and two series in less than a year.
Paddy is back with another slice of Granny Raff, Nigel and Fr Pat next week and admits he’s pinching himself that his career has taken off.
“It’s all happened so fast I haven’t had time to take it all in or get a big head about,” he says.
“I never had any ambitions to be on TV.
“I grew up watching Give My Head Peace and all the stuff the Hole in the Wall Gang do and now I’m in the same TV schedules as them.”

Traditionally, Christmas is defined by a sense of togetherness for those of the Christian faith.
However, with coronavirus still a very real threat, churches have had to adapt to a very different environment.
Many religious venues are operating with reduced numbers at services, ticket booking systems or simply streaming services online.
The only thing for certain is that it will be a Christmas unlike any other in recent memory.
For Deacon Paul Mallon, from St Patrick s Cathedral Parish Armagh, the solution to a complex problem has been to increase their offering, to try and ensure that everyone has the chance to celebrate their faith in a more traditional way.
