I've just found the Christmas special, that's the one I'm thinking about, DS and I laughing like crazy!

Love the National Express song,
"it's hard to get by when your arse is the size of a small country '!

@AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes the one where the priests are lost in the lingerie department is one of my favourites!

Love the Christmas episode too.

When Mrs Doyle is guessing the name, I'm sure I've recognised some of them from this very site.

Brilliant I want to show this episode to my son now!

I've never noticed that, another reason for a rewatch.

Chuckling at this thread … Father Ted is a big favourite in this house including with teenage DC. We’ve got all the episodes on DVD.

Funnily enough we saw DC in concert earlier this year and someone in the audience was shouting out a request for My Lovely Horse. But they didn’t play it. Was still ace though!

@Caminante I watched it this morning, the lingerie scenes are in a Christmas special! The same episode also has Mrs Doyle falling out the window, trying to guess the priest's name, Father Ted getting a teasmaid with Mrs Doyle being devastated!
The priest with the very boring voice. Forgot Kevin McKidd was in it too
There are also cameos by Graham Linehan and Ed Byrne.
Such a classic, need to catch up with other episodes.

@AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes

I really need to rewatch it all as I am clearly confused about episodes 😂

Glad you were enjoying watching it this morning!

My people! Here I sit, ageing, slowly morphing into Father Jack, feck it. I thought I was alone. Bring on the fecking musical, songs of the quality of 'My Lovely Horse' need as wide an audience as possible.

Have a great time, it all sounds wonderful! Thanks for starting this thread, DS and I have been singing My Lovely Horse all day- I want to shower you in sugar lumps and ride you over fences! 😆DD has never seen it, need to get her educated!

A little while ago we were on the motorway and passed a van saying "Horse Dentist" - so for the rest of the journey me and my family sang "My Lovely Horse"!
No sax solo.....

Maireas · 05/09/2022 08:52

Neil Hannon also wrote and performed "My Mayo Mammy". Eoin McLove!
