I wonder did the actor Jim Norton model Len on old-school Catholic bishops, because he's very much my idea of what the likes of John Charles McQuaid would be like in the flesh. Very secure in his authority and no problem bossing people around, but still quite worldly and possessed of a streak of dark humour.

I think he said he was thinking of some priests he had when in school.

Had the pleasure of meeting Jim Norton last year whilst doing road works in Kilkenny city , lovely man , he mentioned the traffic congestion and I said they are even coming from Gdańsk to see the roadworks . Not even a chuckle but still he was a nice guy.

Greatest comedy ever made in my opinion. Not a single line is wasted. Will never never tire of it.

After ted announces that there is foul play at the sheep contest everybody is in uproar.

When the uproar dies down silence returns and two words are spoken in a delayed reaction in the unseen background.



Fookin hell.

And the Fookin hell was repeated again when after Giant Reed and Hud Hastings were outed then Fargo Boyle was revealed as the mastermind of plot to fix the sheep competition. It was also followed up with this line



Alan: Should I call the police, Father?

Father Ted: No. He's lost the trust of his sheep. That's punishment enough for a farmer who deals primarily...............with sheep.
