I have to admit I haven't watched father ted in quite a while but i
watched are you right there father ted? yesterday and forgot how
funny it was.

I've really missed it so I just had to watch all the videos after
that.

It couldn't be helped!
Anyway, I hope everybody has a great christmas!!

Hi!  I just started in 2001 and with how often I watch Father Ted, I'm
catching up for lost time :)

I have the first two seasons on DVD, the third on video (I can't wait for it
to hit the US on DVD!), The Craggy Island Parish Magazines, and I'm getting
ready to order A Christmassy Ted.  And I'm proud to admit this:  I know all
the words to "My Lovely Horse" by heart :D

Hello everyone,

I have been a massive 'Ted' fan since 1996.  I have all of the
episodes on DVD and video.  I visited Ireland last week and so much
information from Father Ted appeared to be true..........

Bye for now

Jo

hi,

I totally agree with you but the funniest bit has to be jack: I'm so
so sorry. His face was brilliant. lol.

More moments I won't be forgetting in a hurry!!

Ted: In Speed 3 when he's repeatedly hit with the brick, especially
when Father Jack throws it at him!

Dougal (A few more I've come up with): Can't remember the episode
itself but when it's the priest sports day, some people begin
fighting on the floor and Dougal wanders over, kicks one of them and
runs off! Also when Dougal is being bathed by Mrs Doyle, and the
photos of Dougal on various holidays (with a nice tan!)

Jack: When he says to the sarcastic priest, "I'm so... so... sorry!"

Mrs Doyle: All the way through, 'Escape from Victory' when she starts
to get into football (go on....... my son)

Jess.

I'll bite :)  My favoite Father Ted Moments:

Ted:  The one where he's trying to explain perspective to Dougal, when he
and Dougal are trying to write the song for the Eurosong competition in Song
For Europe, and the Drive-By Mass in Speed 3.

Jack:  Both times he's attempting to be sober:  in the Tentacles of Doom (an
ecumenical matter!) and Cigarettes, Alcohol and Rollerblading.  And all of
those fantasy/flashback clips that he appears in are so funny!

Dougal:  That's impossible for me to pick just one...any scene he's in is a
favorite!!!

Mrs Doyle:  In The Old Grey Whistle Theft, when Father Ted turns on the
light in the room and she's standing there with a tray of tea and biscuits,
telling him she does that all night every night in case one of them (the
priests) want a snack :)

hiya jess, good topic!
too many ted one's for me but i love this one...

Ted: When he's at the bar in fitzgerald's talking about leaving the
priesthood to run off with assumpta, with fr. clifford in the
backround going 'i'll be off then' and they pay no attention to him!
then dougal wakes him up to offer him a peanut!

again too many dougal moments...
Dougal: is brilliant in new jack city. walking out the wrong side of
the door while sober! and then when he's drunk 'i'm driving home, i'm
perfectly capable' and then collapsing on the floor and says 'ted, i
can see up your trousers'

Jack: i love the one where for one part of the year is it or every
20? lol when he becomes all nice and kind wearing yellow and blue
knitted jumpers, having picnics and playing with puppies, then it
goes back to when he's not so nice, he pukes i think, then picks up
one of the puppies he'd been playing with so nicely before and wipes
his mouth with it!

mrs. doyle: when she's going to st. patricks hill and she gives the
priests and big lecture on how dirty and filthy S - E - X is 'can you
imagine father, looking up at your husband and him standing over you
with his lad in his hand, wanting you to degrade yourself'

Well, there's too many of them but I'm gonna try my best to pick one
for each!

Ted: When he stands by the window to greet the Chinese, whilst
unfortunately next to that rectangular piece of dirt.

Dougal: After jumping off the milk float, when he takes off his
milkman gear and jumps into the air yelling, "I'M A PRIEST!"

Jack: In Competition Time, when he's dressed as Elvis, then looks at
Ted and says (in a placid manner), "Who are you supposed to be?"

Mrs Doyle: It's gotta be the first time she falls off the window in
the xmas episode.

Maybe some odd choices there, but the best bits I could think of at
the mo. Obviously got loads more but just to get the ball rolling.
What about everyone elses fave character moments?!
Jess.

how about the episode where Father Jack shoves the Holy Stone of
Clonrichert (spelling?) up that one Bishop's ass??? ha ha ha ha ha

that was a funny episode too!!  three bishops come to visit them, one
ends up dead, another has the stone shoved up his behind, and the
third leaves the priesthood and goes off to India.

TOO FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!

I love that show!

its soo funny when len sees the painting dougal did of him on the
skirting board!

Hi everyone, new member here! I actually joined a week or two ago but
I was waiting until I finished watching all of the Father Ted
episodes before I posted!

Since watching the pilot I've fallen in love with the show (and with
Dougal/Ardal!) so it's great to be here and discuss this great show
amongst other fans.

My fave episode would have to be Speed 3 ("I'M A PRIEST!") and A Song
For Europe. I just can't get enough of my lovely horse running
through the fields with it's fetlocks blowing in the wind...

Now that I've embarrassed myself I think I'll go, bye bye!
Jess.

mine is new jack city, dougal is especially stupid in that one,
helped along by fr. stack getting him drunk.

Ahh, me favorite Father Ted ep. What a cruel world it would be if we
were left with only one episode! There's just no way I can pick a
favorite, but I'll rattle off a few of my favorite scenes.

Good Luck Father Ted
DOUGAL:C'mon, Ted. Sure it's no more peculiar than that stuff we
learned in the seminary. You know heaven and hell and everlasting
life and all that type of thing. You're not meant to take it
seriously, Ted.
FR.TED: Dougal you are so TOO meant to take it seriously.
DOUGAL: Are you?
FR. TED: Yes!
DOUGAL: What, heaven and hell and everlasting life?
FR.TED: Yes, of course!

TOM:Father!
FR.TED: Yes Tom?
DOUGAL: I've killed a man.
FR.TED: Did you, Tom. I'll have to talk to you about that later. I'm
doing an interview for the television.

The Passion of Saint Tibulus
JOHN Are you going to stand there all day you fat ol' bitch?
MARY: Don't talk to me like that you big pile of shite... You
iignorant prick!
JOHN: You watch that mouth of yours!
MARY: I'll watch nothin. I'll stick this up yer arse -- Ah Fr. Dougal.

Entertaining Father Stone
FR.TED: You wouldn't say, want a big car to drive around in?
DOUGAL Hoo wow! That'd be fantastic. Driving around in a big car.
Yeah that'd be one, oh brilliant.
FR.TED: And what would be your second wish?
DOUGAL: Ah no, that'd be fine. The car would be fine.
FR.TED: You wouldn't like to be a rock star or something, like Elvis?
DOUGAL: Hooo God yeah. I'd love to be a rock star like Elvis or
something. Hoo that'd be brilliant.
FR.TED: So eh, your third wish, if you had one?
DOUGAL: Ah no, that'd be fine. If I had a big car and I was Elvis,
that'd be grand.
FR.TED: You wouldn't like say mmmm.....this cup?
DOUGAL: Hoo God yeah! I'd love that cup. If I had that cup and I was
Elvis and I had a big car that'd be fantastic.
FR.TED: You've never had much of an imagination, have you Dougal?
DOUGAL: No you're right there Ted.

DOUGAL Who'd of thought that being hit by lightning would land you in
hospital.

DOUGAL Did you ever notice the way it's usually sick people who end
up in hospitals.

And God Created Woman
MRS.DOYLE: It was a bit much for me Father. Feck this, and feck that.
FR.TED: Yes Mrs. Doyle.
MRS.DOYLE: Ya big bastard, aw dreadful language. You big hairy arse,
you big fecker. Fierce stuff. And of course...the 'F' word Father.
The BAD 'F' word. Worse than feck. You know the one I mean.
FR.TED: Yes I do Mrs. Doyle.
MRS.DOYLE: F you...F your F'in wife. Oh I don't know why they have to
use language like that. I'll stick this F'in pitch fork up your hole,
oh that was another one, oh yes.
FR.TED: I see what you mean, Mrs. Doyle.
MRS.DOYLE: Bastard this and bastard that. You can't move for the
bastards in her novels, it's wall to wall bastards.
FR.TED: Is it Mrs. Doyle.
MRS. DOYLE: Ya bastard...
FR. TED: Anyway.
MRS.DOYLE: You fecker. you bollox. Get your bollox out of my face.
FR.TED: Yes you just go and prepare for the nuns.
MRS.DOYLE: Ride me sideways was another one.

Grant Unto Him Eternal Rest
FR.TED: Look at this Dougal. Fr. Jack left us money.
DOUGAL That's very nice of him. How much?
FR.TED: Ha-- Ha-- Half a million pounds.
DOUGAL: Half a million pounds! Each!?...Ah no, between us.

DOUGAL Right. One word filum. Can't be too many of them...Salems
Lot... Eh tongue, uh, mouth, teeth...Ehhh, is there a filum called
tongue...tongue tongue...no, eh...mmm... Tongue Fish...Swim
Tongue..um eh eh.. Fish...Attack of the Giant Killing
Fish...Tongue...Tongue Fish...Eh The Deep, Piranha...Jaws 2...eh...oh
close then, eh, Ghostbusters 2, Superman 2, no uh..Batman Returns.
FR.TED: No you had it, it was Jaws!
DOUGAL: No I had Jaws TWO Ted, it's a different film, it's a very
different film. It's a different Shark!

DOUGAL Do you believe in an Afterlife?
FR.TED: What?
DOUGAL: Do you believe in an Afterlife?
FR.TED: Well Dougal, generally speaking Priests tend to have a very
strong belief in the Afterlife.
DOUGAL: Oh I wish i had your faith Ted.

Are You Right There Father Ted
COLM:  Hello there Father.
TED:  Ah, hello Colm.  (laughing) Out and about?
COLM:  Ah, same as yourself.
TED:  Good good.
COLM:  I hear you're a racist now Father.
TED:  What?
COLM:  How did you get interested in that type of thing?
TED:  Who said I'm a racist?
COLM:  Everyone's sayin' it Father. Sure we'll all be racist now.
What's the official line the church is takin' on that, then?
TED:  No, no.
COLM:  Only the farm takes up most of the day and at night I just
like a cup of tea.  So, I mightn't be able to devote meself full time
to the ol' racism.
MRS. CARBERRY:  Good for you Father!
TED:  What?  Oh, Mrs. Carberry.
MRS. CARBERRY:  Good for you Father.  Well someone had the guts to
stand up to them at last. Comin' over here, takin' our jobs and our
women and actin' like they own the feckin' place. Well done Father!
Good for you!...Good for you!  I'd like to feckin....Feckin' Greeks.
COLM:  It isn't the Greeks, it's the Chinese he's after.
TED:  (panicking) I'm not after the Chinese.
MRS. CARBERRY:  I don't care who he gets so long as I can have a go
at the Greeks.  They
invented gayness!
TED:  Look, we are not having a go at anybody! I am not a racist,
alright.  God!
MRS. CARBERRY:  Feckin' Greeks!

TED LEAVES AND COLM WALKS OVER TO MRS. CARBERRY

COLM:  How's Mary?
MRS. CARBERRY:  She's fine.  She got that job after all.
COLM:  Great!

What's everybody's favourite episode of the great programme?

Mine has to be speed 3. When Dougal goes 'Ted, Ted and don't want to
be a milkman anymore!'

Ah, brilliant..

Hi, Carys.

The episode you're thinking of is where Father Jack seemed to have
snuffed it called Grant Unto Him Eternal Rest. With Ted and Dougal
having to spend the night in the "tomb" with Jack's corpse, Dougal
begins to wonder about life after death, and, of course, as you know,
the line you quoted was Ted's response to Dougal saying he wished he
had Ted's faith about there being an afterlife. :)

Your mutual FT fan,

Chris

Hello. :o)  Been a member of this club/group for a while, but this is
my first post!

Just a quickie...I'm talking about FT at the 'mo with my hubby, and
we suddenly can't remember which episode the:

Ted: "How did you get into the priesthood, Dougal - was it like,
collect 12 packets of crisps....?" (or something like that!) comes
from.

To save us from trawling through every episode, can someone quickly
tell us the answer?!

Ta very much! :o)

New member here! Just thought I would post this to say hello! I
really like wathching Father Ted, its one of my most favourite
programmes!
                         Bye for now,
                          Victoria

I'm a huge TedHead and have purchased the full set of shows - Thought
you'd be interested where to get them:

1)  Ebay - Type "Father Ted" in the search - there are tons of people
selling them - just look out for the European format - if you live in
the US, make sure they say whether its compatable to our VCR's/DVD
player

2) BBC America - go to www.bbcamerica.com - they have most of the
videos and one or two dvd's


Hope this helps you all - If you have BBCAmerica on cable, look for
the listing.  If you live in NYC, channel 21 (Long Island PBS) has
them on 11:30 p.m.

Though I don't know that I'd go so far as to say that it's the
funniest comedy "ever", I do agree that it is strikingly brilliant,
and I'm really thankful it came along because, after falling in love
with British comedies of the early and late 70's and early 80's, I
encountered a drought I thought was destined to never end. I
thought, "Well, they just don't make 'em like they used to," and
thought a new modern comedy was here and it just wasn't my bag, baby.

And along came Ted and Dougal and Mrs. Doyle and Jack and Tom and
John & Mary, and some brilliant writing and acting and directing.
This is definitely the best British comedy to come along in years. I
did get mild enjoyment from Are You Being Served (and most of that
from the theme music), and found As Time Goes By very endearing (love
Dench and Palmer, and even more so together), but I hadn't seen a
Britcom that was just "dead funny" like Fawlty Towers, The Good Life
(Good Neighbors), To The Manor Born, The Bounder, The Fall & Rise of
Reginald Perrin, and Butterflies (I think that gets all my old
faves), hadn't seen it in years and thought I never would.

I've tried Red Dwarf and couldn't get into it, though I did think
they had a good grasp on humor, and Absolutely Fabulous I just don't
find funny in the slightest. Most comedies are (on the worst end)
either too low-brow (Men Behaving Badly), sexually-fixated (Ab Fab),
or disgusting (that whatever Royal Family one I can't think of the
name of). Or (on the best end) they are admittedly enjoyable (As
Time), marginally clever and decently cast (Being Served), so-so idea
with flat cast chemistry and execution (Red Dwarf), or only a handful
of enjoyable elements (Keeping Up Appearances, and those elements, in
this case, are -- as much as I love Patricia -- unfortunately, not
the main character).

So, thanks "Father Ted" for restoring my faith in UK comedy (this
time it took the Irish to show the Brits how it's done), but more
importantly thanks for giving me something to truely laugh at amidst
a sea of mediocre, intelligence-insulting "hits" in BOTH Uniteds (the
States and the Kingdom).

Here's to "Father Ted". Drink!

Now...

"Feck off!" - Father Jack Hackett.
