It's fine for you and I to say that we never found Dermot Morgan controversial but alot of people in Ireland did. The Joe Duffy/Late Late Show/church-going brigade didn't like him because he said things you're not supposed to say and offended the establishment. His slagging of the church wouldn't have gone down well with alot of people. Things have changed quite a bit since then. We forget that it's nearly 20 years ago now since he was doing that stuff.

Yep, the odd few would remember Scrap Saturday on RTE Radio, the brilliant scits on Haughey, Flynn etc. Didn't last too long. Hell I can remember Fr. Trendy and that is over 30 years ago!

Had the pleasure to see him live about 1995 trying new stuff totally off the cuff, he wasn't scheduled to be on the comedy show. A young Eddie Izzard was the main star IIRC.

Served him a few drinks a couple of times back in the day, very quiet and polite and seemed a gentleman.

Christmas eve the young' fella spotted Graham Linehan in M&S an we told him he was a legend, which was nice. Kinda made christmas, we are big fans.

It really is terrific. Stands the test of time so well. There's so many good episodes.

It was good, but its not timeless. It was a satire of Irish life in the mid nineties. With the destruction of the churches reputation in the last 5 years, I doubt many teenagers would "get it" today.

Complete over-analysis, I'm 17 and I don't know of one person who doesn't like it, and I know many who absolutely love it.

Brendan Grace was brilliant in that, always thought he was over rated, but brilliant in that.

Father Todd Unctious:

The best part was his confession, great scit of American detective shows. The part of him robbing the other priest, who he met in a smokey bar, and robbing the priest clothes.

Ted: "But you are a priest, why did you rob his clothes?"

Unctious: "Ah, it just felt right".

Played by Gerrard McSorley, damn good actor.

It has claws as big as cups, It has four ears, two for listening and two are sort of back-up ears. Some might be on the inside of its head, It has a retractable leg so it can leap up at you better. It has magnets on its tail, so if you're made out of metal, it can attach itself to you. It lights up at night. It has a tremendous fear of stamps. Its yawn sounds like Liam Neeson chasing a load of hens around inside a barrel. It has no mouth, but instead has four arses.
It only has eyebrows on Saturdays.

It's no more peculiar than that stuff we learned in the seminary, y'know, heaven and hell and everlasting life. You're not meant to take it seriously.

Ted:
It's beginning to snow again. The flakes, silver and dark, are falling obliquely against the lamplight. It's probably snowing all over the island. On the central plain, on the treeless hills, falling softly upon the graveyards, upon the crosses and the headstones. Upon all the living, and the dead

Jack, upon rising from death:
Shut to feck up

Everlasting life, big demons sticking red-hot pokers up your arse for all eternity? I don’t think so. The whole religion thing, I just don’t buy it.

But that’s the great thing about Catholicism. It’s so vague and nobody really knows what it’s all about.

Now Dougal, these Bishops are very important. I’ll stay around you all the time just in case, so you don’t say anything to them that you’re not supposed to say.
Like what you said to Bishop Lindsay, when he asked me where I was when Kennedy was shot. You overreacted slightly there. He wasn’t accusing me of anything.

Anyone remember the episode with that song?

Classic.

And also the episode with the caravan was shot in Fanore in Co.Clare. There's no trace of it down there though.Not even a sign where the caravan was.A shame realy.

Was that the one with the car raffle, and the terrible D.J?

I love the "down with this type of thing" but more for the start and the Central American priest visiting.

Bit of a Romeo and constant references to sex and presenting them with "these humble, simple presents". Then he drives of in a Porsche! The voiceover interpreting him is class, very clever.

The whistle test is very good, probably the most even episode, just comedy gold throughout.

Theft K. But, apart from that, your critique seems sound.:)

Comedy gold.

Aaah. The "mot juste".
