Comedian PJ Gallagher has told how making a documentary about mental health is the “hardest thing” he has ever worked on, requiring him to get personal about his own difficulties.

The broadcaster and comedian said he is “nervous” for the programme to air on RTÉ this evening, describing it as “the sort of one where when it comes out, you really have nowhere to hide”.
