Being really forward here! I'm actually shy face to face but I'm being brave and suggesting that we start a thread on Father Ted. I LOVE that program! What are your favourite bits? I loved the one where he was accused of racism and then did the waving his arms about and from the outside it looked like Hitler doing a speech! It was well funny, er, well I thought so. Please don't leave me hanging here! Somebody reply...?

Is it cos I is Irish and my uncle is a bishop, my aunt a nun and I'm a Buddhist...

I love Father Ted always makes me giggle, so many bits that spring to mind lol when he had to kick the bishop up the "ar*e".

More tea father...go on go on go on

I loved a Christmas special when the priests were in the lingerie department and they were trying to get out without being seen .

The Caravan episode

Ted playing the shaft record to a depressed priest

The fun fair episode (the roundabout was a piece of wood with a stick in the middle)

when father Ted and Dougal had to give up stuff for lent (dougal skatboarding, Ted smoking)

The Speed parody where the milk-float couldn't go below 5 Mph springs to mind.......

I just love the time Mrs Doyle said to Ted when he was in bad form

"What would you say to a nice cup of tea Ted?"

And Ted responded

"I'd say feck off nice cup of tea"

My 2 fave episodes were the Eurovsion 'My lovely Horse' one (& if you're Irish like my good self you'll know that there was a horrible ring of truth about Ireland not wanting to host the contest AGAIN!)

and, even though he's become a bit of a **** recently, the episode when they're all holiday and Grahame Norton guests as a manic priest - classic

Oh they just don't make good sit coms anymore. A repeat of any Father Ted is always the best thing on.

never really saw them, I was always at work that time of day

Yeah has to be one of the all time classics ... up there with fawlty towers. I often wonder do people from outside ireland get all of the jokes ... i mean for instance the "feck" word .... do people outside use this word? I must explain that this word IS used in ireland , well b4 FT , and was NOT made up for the series. Its very strange cos u can say FECK in front of your granny but you cant say **** ... strange but true!

Agree with Alex about 'My lovely horse' - especially the dream video of the song. Made me fall over.

*or was that the lager..hmm*

The group who wrote that "The divine comedy" HATE people at their concerts who request them to sing that song

Didn't know it was written by them, thanks for that. Must remember that the next time I go to one of their concerts...

Do you have their album "short album about love"?
