A Danish episode[edit]

A question: Once upon a time, in danish television, they broadcastet an episode in which Richard O. Sullivan was the actor. "Richard" was multiplied to 10-20 identical persons (himself),and the copies died/disappeered after a shorter while, popping out, pop! The thrilling was: Did the real one or one of the copies die?

Anyone who knowes the title of this sit-com, episode, . . . . ?

Possibly this was a one off ITV comedy called "The Giftie" from 1988, written by Wally K.Daly, seem to remember it had something to do with clones. which was inspired by the, I think, Rabbie Burns quotation "What a gift the 'giftie' gee us to see ourselves as others see us." Tim Brooke Taylor was also in it.81.111.127.132 (talk) 00:12, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I can confirm it was "The Giftie". And it was inspired by the Robert Burns line, "seeing ourselves" from outside being behind the idea of cloning or copying individuals. 2.31.164.101 (talk) 06:45, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Richard O'Sullivan (actor) → Richard O'Sullivan
Richard O'Sullivan → Richard O'Sullivan (disambiguation)
- dropping "actor" because this topic is a popular search term; Need to give "Richard O'Sullivan" to actor and then make latter an official title of the disambiguation page. George Ho (talk) 11:53, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Richard O'Sullivan (actor) is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and should be located at the undisambiguated title. Richard O'Sullivan (filmmaker), the only other item on the dab with a page gets 20 times less page views, and a google search yields results almost elusively for the actor. Confusion with items at Richard Sullivan (disambiguation) isn't hugely likely. France3470 (talk) 18:05, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Do you mean, Richard O'Sullivan (disambiguation) — you missed the "O'". --George Ho (talk) 21:24, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - No, I do mean Richard Sullivan (disambiguation). It was just a comment that it is unlikely that someone typing in Richard O'Sullivan would be unlikely to be looking for someone at Richard Sullivan (disambiguation). France3470 (talk) 21:47, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
