Father Ted

[Dagga]

Have any non-Irsh people watched this? The Background:
A priest= Father Ted Crilly lives on an isolated island (Craggy Island) with two other priests, Father Dougal Maguire and Father Jack, and their housekeeper Mrs Doyle...
It's a brilliant series (Hilarious too) , straight from the 90's! Watch it! It'll be worth your while! I believe any Irish person will agree with me!!! :D

One of the best comedy series...well, ever really

Absolutely hilarious, it deserves its status - especially love the Speed 3 episode.

[Little Blue]

I love it, absolutely bloody hilarious, especially Father Jack.
I wish I could watch more of it, but I don't think it's on terrestrial tv here anymore...

Down with that sort of thing!

Careful now!

[Bunny]

Why are three priests and a housekeeper on an isolated island?

[NINJA_Ryu]

About time we get Father Ted in here! :P

the show rocks! (though i hardly watch it, donno where and when!)

[boys from the dwarf]

i've seen a few episodes.

in fact, this thread has just reminded me *checks to see if there are DVDs.*

it used to be on TV a lot but i didn't watch it while i had the chance.

i remember a lot of father Jack, mrs Doyles obsession with serving tea and a couple of episodes. in one of them Ted and Dougal protest against and indecent film and end up advertising it by accident. their protest is so pathetic its hilarious!

"Down with this sort of thing!"

"careful now!"

i also remember a lot of father Jack swearing and punching people. hilarious! some holy guy Jack is.

Why are three priests and a housekeeper on an isolated island?

Because the priests are all so inept/drunk/corrupt that no-one wants them anywhere important :D

FATHER TED ROCKS, MAN! I am irish, though. I have ALL the DVDs. And people, you forget the two greatest moments in father ted.

1. My Lovely Horse

2. Its Irelands largest lingerie department...or so I heard.

[charliepanayi]

My Lovely Horse is great, but the Dougal as milkman episode just tops all for me - one of the best final lines in any comedy episode ever and the post-credits bit cements it.

[Burtsplurt]

Father Ted is ace.

I think my favourite episode is probably Speed 3 as well, although the "perfectly square piece of dirt" and Ted's gestures to the Chinese family is my favourite moment.

"My lovely horse running through the field,
Where are you going with your fetlocks blowing in the wind?
I want to shower you with sugarlumps,
And ride you over fences,
Polish your hooves every single day,
And bring you to the horse dentist,

My lovely horse,
You're a pony no more,
Running around with a man on your back,
Like a train in the night,
Like a train in the" (Father Ted:) "wait I can get this!... night."

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

It depresses me somewhat. 'Tis probably real funny and all...

[Jack]

I'm non-Irish!
Oh, I loved this. An amazing series.
