He starts talking about M.E. at around 4 mins 45 secs.

Here are a couple of more comments:
------
I was able to listen to the interview. O'Sullivan did not get to his personal experience with ME until well into the interview but it was worth the wait.

Thanks for this. I have just listened to it and it's a great interview - what a lovely guy and very articulate. Wish he'd write about his ME one day...
