Father Ted

[sharbie]

Isn't it just brilliant?

Fup off you fupper. You fupping basket!

I love Father Ted! My favourite episode has got to be the one where the "fecking birds" steal Father Jack's glasses so they have to take him to the optician. He gets told he has perfect vision because the eyechart has feck arse written all over it

The naked man on the bonnet of Ted's moving car with Ted & Dougal's coy/embarrassed faces, I nearly wet myself laughing every time I see that vision! Fair play to the actor who played the part.

The nazi priest episode.

Kicking Bishop Brennan and Jack putting the sarcastic priest in his underpants hamper

Jack at Alcoholics Anonymous

The Cave Episode where at the end, Ted tells someone there are still people trapped - and the man shrugs his shoulders and gets on his dustcart

Speed 3 and Pat Mustard

Mainline episode and Feckarse Industries eyetests

What a fecking brilliant series it was.

"my lovely horse is in the fieeeeeeeld..." :o

My cat is called doogle and that was inspired by father ted :)

I think I may need Father Ted DVDs for Christmas

spider baby

Noah I've just ordered them! For other people who live in this house of course!

This summer we spent a week trapped in our caravan in torrential rain and watched the entire box set

Kept us sane!

The Hitler episode where he is sieg heiling at the window at the Chinese family is the funniest TV moment I have ever seen. Never fails to make me laugh

The one where they are trapped in the caravan with Graham Norton seemed a little too close to the bone

2 of my most fave ever bits right there tiger

Sharbie we ended up doing mad dancing in the caravan in homage to that episode!

We were quite pissed at the time though

No sieg heiling went on. Could have been interesting. Or got us evicted from the campsite.

brilliant

Aaah I tried to explain perspective to DD (4) the other day with 'these cows are small, these cows are far away'...

It is superb.

I loved their signs protesting the film.
'Down with this sort of thing'

The perspective with cows - genius

The lingerie shop - I loved the very end where they are jumping out of the door like they are parachuting out of a plane.

Awwww, I'm putting the box set on my Christmas list now. Can't believe we don't have it.

Everyone should have a 'down with this sort of thing' sign. I might design a tiny desktop version.

LOL! Just looked it up on youtube. Dougal's sign says 'careful now'

Love Father Ted. I was very lucky as I saw Dermot Morgan doing stand up in Brixton about 15 years ago. He was lovely and so funny and totally endearing.

I love Father Ted, I think it is one of the funniest programmes ever made.

So glad to have bumped into this thread - cheered me right up :o

Do you remember the one with the carnival and its crappy attractions such as 'cat on a record player' (literally)?

"I blame the greeks - they invented gayness"

I also love the bit when mrs doyle makes the man who is allergic to tea and could drop down dead from even a tiny sip, have a cup of tea!!!

Another cracker is when mrs doyle is out with her friend having tea, and they're discussing a local man..

Well you know what happened to Mr Sweeney, Some young fella's broke into his house and started messing with him, and they put a bra on him
Mrs Doyle: I heard there were over 200 cases of forced transvestism involving Mr Sweeney last year!

DH and I have been reminiscing happily over this thread.I got talked into going to a lot of church type meetings and used to come home and admit that I didn't hare the faintest idea of what to say at them.Dh dared me to say 'That would be a ecumenical matter,'and for ever afterwards,I'd spend the whole meeting trying not to snigger.

I was also gratified to see a protester at the Pope's visit,brandishing a sign saying 'Down with this sort of thing'.

That's genius. The sign I mean.

and its on in 10 mins yipeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Which channel,and which episode?
