Definitely haha. Back to the topic of Father Ted, does anyone have a favourite episode/character? :)

Hmmmm. I'm sure I've heard that concept somewhere; I wonder what it means. Generally, I like Dougal the most, but I also like Tom. I don't think it'd work if he was in it much more than he is though.

Yes, he's good as a more minor character. Dougal is great, Mrs. Doyal too; the memory montage in the Christmas episode where they show all the times she's ever said "Tea, Father?" is so funny

I think Father Noel Fielding would wear very thin if he was in it much longer! A couple of my favourite bits are "Small... Far away" and the diagram of Imagination and Reality!

Fr. Ted almost reaches my own standards of pastoral care.
I have always been of the opinion that the whole three series should be absolutely mandatory on all ministerial training courses (speaking as the ex director of studies of our training course in the diocese of Carcaroth. I have always been fond of the duplicity of John and Mary as they try to conceal the full horror of their marital 'relationship' from Fr. Ted.
I undertand that there are parts of Ireland where the series was initially received as serious social satire ...

That would be because of the realism.

I was in Kilfenora in the spring --that is where the John and Mary store was filmed. Outside the place we stayed was a picture of the Imagination/ Reality drawing.

Gosh, where to start with favourite Ted characters? I love Father Fintan Stack, he's just so awful. And Father Todd Unctuous - that scene where Mrs Doyle has to guess his name is a classic (based on a scene in Flann O'Brien's The Third Policeman). But my favourite has got to be Pat Mustard, I think. Welcome Kate, by the way.

Dick Byrne is always funny! Mustn't forget Len!

I have some sympathy for the long suffering youth group ...

I love the scene in the Pat Mustard episode where Dougal delivers the milk instead and does not notice - until much later in bed - that all the women who come to the door are naked:P

Probably one of Father Jack's best quotes, in comparison to his main four

Even though they do have catchphrases within the series, I think they have done well to not lean on them too hard. Some programmes are all catchphrase and no other substance. I say "Down with that sort of thing!"

Oops, just seen this! And yes, like the Simpsons, with "d'oh". The best thing about Father Ted is that it's funny for the classic humour
