Father Ted

Father Ted is an Irish comedy about 3 parish priests living on a remote Island off the Irish west coast. The characters are Fr. Ted Crilly (Dermot Morgan), Fr Dougal Maguire ( Ardal O'Hanlan ) Fr. Jack Hackett (Frank Kelly) and Mrs. Doyle (Pauline McLynn). It was written by Graham Linehan and Arthur Mathews. The show ran for three seasons and was huge success straight from the first episode (the one with the fun fair in "the field"). It was filmed in Co. Clare in Ireland and also in the UK. The show had guest appearences from many of Ireland's best comedians including.... Brendan Grace, Tommy Tiernan, Jason Byrne, Kevin Gildea, Patrick McDonnell, Joe Rooney, Pat Shortt, Jon Kenny etc. Despite only three seasons the show has reached cult status and has been aired in many countries.. these are the countries I know for sure:- Ireland, UK, France, Belguim, Australia, US, Canada, Italy.. maybe others.

Ardal O'Hanlan is one of Ireland's funniest stand up comedians and apart from his role as Dougal in Father Ted, he has hosted "The Stand Up Show" on BBC. If ever you get the opportunity to see Ardal live, treat yourself to an unbelievably funny experience. Ardal is also currently starring in MY HERO a comedy on BBC on Friday evenings.

Dermot Morgan who died in February 1998 was one of Ireland's long established comedians. He was known in Ireland for his work with both Irish television and radio. His show "Scrap Saturday" on Irish Radio was probably his best known show before his role as Father Ted on Channel 4 comedy hit.

Other Stuff :

Here are some of my fav quotes.. enjoy..
If you can get your hands on the origional scripts (on paper back from hattrick productions). There are loads of scenes that were taken out of the final version that are very funny.


Dougal: Ted can I stay up tomorrow night to watch the scary film?

Ted: oh no no no no the last time you watched a scary film you had to sleep

in my bed, I wouldn't mind it wasn't even that scary a film.

Dougal: ah come on now ted, a volkswagon with a mind of its own, driving

all over the place and going mad, if that's not scary i don't know what is.

**********************************************************************************************************************************

Dougal: Look, this tables so dirty I can write my name in it.

Ted: There's a 'G' in Dougal.

Dougal: Where?

**********************************************************************************************************************************

Dougal: Good news Ted! I think he's just pulled up! And the good news is,

that he can only afford a crappy blue Ford Cortina. Ha! Just imagine

driving around in that thing.

Ted: That's MY car.

**********************************************************************************************************************************

Ted: Dougal, have we any incense?

Dougal: well, em...there was a spider in the bath last night.

**********************************************************************************************************************************

Ted : So you took Father Jack out for a walk... and you lost him. Again.

Dougal : Well, Ted, like I said the last time: it won't happen again. Sure

now, what's the worst that could happen to him anyway?

Ted : Well Dougal, he could have an accident and be killed.

Dougal : ...Oh right, yes.

Dougal : hang on a minute there ted, is that not jack there. [jack is

sprawled out on the living room floor]

Ted: ah dougal, you didn't even get him out the door did you.

Dougal: i thought the wheelchair felt a bit light today alright.

**********************************************************************************************************************************

Dougal: Sorry Ted. I was concentrating too hard on looking holy.

**********************************************************************************************************************************

Mrs Doyle: Are you looking forward to your lunch tomorrow, Father?

Ted: Hmmm? I suppose so.

Mrs Doyle: You do like pheasant, don't you Father?

Ted: Pheasant? I love pheasant.

Mrs Doyle: Well there's a little clue. The thing you'll be eating likes

pheasant as well.

**********************************************************************************************************************************

Ted: Dougal, how did you get into the church in the first place? Was it,

like, 'collect 12 crisp packets and become a priest?'

**********************************************************************************************************************************

Dougal: God, I've heard about those cults Ted. People dressing up in black

and saying Our Lord's going to come back and save us all.

Ted: No, Dougal, that's us. That's Catholicism.

Dougal: Oh right.

**********************************************************************************************************************************

Ted: I'm not a fascist. I'm a priest. Fascists dress up in black and tell

people what to do. Whereas priests...

...More drink!

**********************************************************************************************************************************

Polly Clarke: My husband. Now there was a man who really was afraid of

Virginia Woolf.

Ted: Why? Was she... following him or something?

**********************************************************************************************************************************

Dougal: C'mere Ted, Ted, Teddy, Ted. God, I love being a priest. We're all

going to heaven lads, wheeeyyyyyy!

**********************************************************************************************************************************

Ted: You know the phrase 'to take care of something'? Well, I realise now

that you meant that in a sort of Al Pacino way. Whereas I was thinking more

**********************************************************************************************************************************

Pat Mustard: I'm a very careful man, Father.
Ted: Except when it comes to taking precautions in the bedroom!
Pat: You're not advocating the use of artificial contraception now, are you?
Ted: Well, ye......well, no...well, naturally.....well, not really....well, of course you'd............JUST FECK OFF!

**********************************************************************************************************************************

Ted: Dougal, don't you think that if we put this baby's moustache, this baby's head hair and this baby's sideboards together we'd get....Pat Mustard?
Dougal: D'you think the babies could be copying his style?
Ted: No, Dougal, I think Pat Mustard's been delivering more than just dairy products, if you see what I mean.
Dougal Yes.......well........er...y..well.......yes.
Ted: Do you?
Dougal: No.
