Surely that can't be real? A third series that was never aired? :eek:

That looks like a special made to advertise the return of Fr Ted to the telly!

But it appears to be digitally assembled, chances are it was made after Dermot's death.

I'll have to put my cynical hat on here. If a third series was made I'm sure it would have surfaced long before now

My bad...must have seen every episode a dozen times and never counted the numer of seasons. I thought the trailer was for more episodes after Dermot's death. Slap on the wrist for me

I'd imagine it was very controversial at the time of its release though.

Nah, they pushing against an open door when it came to ripping the piss out of the clergy. Granted, I did have a couple of relatives who took offense, and quite a few more who just didn't get the surrealism of it.

Always thought that, at base level, it's a warm-hearted, affectionate look at Ireland and the priesthood, as opposed to a horrible mean-spirited bunch of post colonial inferiority complex based self loathing like say, The Savage Eye. And genuinely laugh out loud funny. As opposed to, say, The Savage Eye. That we may see their likes again.

As for favourite episodes, gotta be The Mainland ... kinda an obvious choice, but perfect on every level. Performance of a lifetime from Graham Norton, Mrs. Doyle and Mrs. Dineen in the tea shop, feckin' burds, feckarse industries.

I also liked the English Patient, very confusing and far-fetched and very, very boring ... it was my kind of film. I like The Piano as well. Did you see Harvey Keitel running around in the nip?

'Tony Lynch, crawled into bed at 10 past the eleven' Gets less funnier everytime but when I first heard this it just had me in stitches, somethin about it was just so funny. Think it was your man who played tony lynch, looked like such a square haha

Father Ted: Did you bring the travel scrabble Dougal?
Father Dougal: I brought the normal scrabble and the travel scrabble, Ted. The travel scrabble for when we were traveling, and the normal scrabble for when we arrived!
Father Ted: Good man!
Father Dougal: Ah, no, wait a minute... now that I think of it I didn't bring either of them! God , I'm an awful eejit!



Mrs. Doyle: There's always time for a nice cup of tea. Sure, didn't the Lord himself pause for a nice cup of tea before giving himself up for the world.
Father Ted Crilly: No, he didn't, Mrs Doyle!
Mrs. Doyle: Well, whatever the equivalent they had for tea in those days, cake or something. And speaking of cake, I have cake!
[She holds up a cupcake]
Father Ted Crilly: No, thanks, Mrs. Doyle.
Mrs. Doyle: Are you sure, Father? There's cocaine in it!
Father Ted Crilly: WHAT?
Mrs. Doyle: Oh, no, not cocaine. God, what am I on about? No, what d'you call them. Raisins.

Anything with Bishop Brennan is hysterical. Probably the funniest TV character ever.

Ted: This is Father Buzz Cagney. He's here on a short visit. He's from America.

Dougal: America, eh? We were just talking about that fella Kurt Cobain. He was from America. Imagine blowing your head off with a shot gun. How`d he manage to survive that?

Ted: He didn't, Dougal,, he died.

Dougal: Oh right.

Benny_Cake

DOUGAL: I think...I think...I think I have a lyric!

TED: Right, lyric, go ahead there Dougal.

DOUGAL: What's it called again?

TED: "My Lovely Horse."

DOUGAL: Right. How about this: "My lovely horse, I want to hold you so tight, I want to rub my fingers through your tail and love you all night."

TED: Dougal, Dougal, Dougal, stop there. We want to keep out of the whole area of actually being in love with the horse.

DOUGAL: Oh right, right.

TED: It's more that we're friends with the horse, that we want to jump around with it and, you know, just have a good laugh with it.

DOUGAL: Right. What about something like, eh, "Take this lump of sugar baby, you know you want it"?

Ted: Well, we'll have to do it in shifts; get them out of the house and as far away as possible.
Dougal: Why can't we just leave them here?
Ted: Because, Dougal, my nerves are shot and I won't be able to relax until the only rabbit left is the one sitting in your head working the controls.

It's impossible to pin down a single episode to define such a brilliantly incisive comedy series. It had parochial Ireland down to a tee. I'd say the 2 most perfect examples of where they got it exactly right were the christian youth group. I was actually foistered into one of these when i was younger and it's exactly as boring as they make it look. By far the best part of the whole series is John and Mary, a perfect image of the typical irish married couple who hated each other but were too afraid to break up because of the church.

This quote, from the funfair episode (which was pure brilliant) stands out for perfect timing:

Mary: T*tface! You've a face like a pair of t*ts!
John: Well, at least that's one pair between us!

The later episodes had more jokes in them but seemed to lose that edge of lampooning something ridiculous about us as a country.
