Dougal- "Hello Len"
Bishop Brennan - "Don't call me Len you lttle prick! I'm a Bishop."
Dougal- "Oh right, well done."

Reading my Father Ted script book over Xmas and found a deleted scene from 'Night of the Nearly Dead' (the one with Eoin Mclove in).

Ted and Dougal Discussing Eoin Mclove's impending visit

Dougal: Oh Ted! it'd be very unhip for a Parochial House if that fella came over here.

Ted: Dougal, it's not a priority for a priest to worry about how hip their parish is. I mean 'The Man Himself' was probably regarded as being a bit square when he was alive.

Dougal: Really Ted?

Ted: Yes, Dougal. But after he was nailed to a cross people began to think 'I actually see what he was on about'.

Dougal: God Almighty, Johnny Cash was nailed to a cross?

Ted: What? No - Jesus! The Man Himself is Jesus!

Dougal: Oh,right.......I was thinking of 'The Man in Black'

Brilliant comedy.
Like Fawlty towers, very very few episodes, but almost every gag is top notch.

Got the SE boxset in October and I'm just starting series 3 (wanted time it so I watched a christmassy ted over Christmas).

''Father, I hear you're a racist now, how's it going?''

The slide show he puts on to prove he's 'NOT A RACIST' is brilliant.

At the risk of rubbing it in, it was supposed to be marked at £37 but they mislabelled it, so I had it even cheaper

I remain convinced only Irish people "get it" properly.

Sure, there's something in it for english people, much like a kid can still laugh at the simpsons, or like someone who's never seen Life of Brian can still laugh at a clip of it, but I genuinely think ONLY Irish people are really fully getting it.

I really doubt many english people have lived in or are familiar with remote places like that, know priests like that, recognise the whole parochial house thing, are as familiar with the "agressively welcoming" Irish housekeeper, understand the fear a Bishop is held in in rural ireland, know how much prests can drink and so on.

Example - one of the funniest ever moments in FT for me was when Dougal was going to die on the milk float, and, after hours of discussion, the best idea the priests had was to say a mass.

Probably a funny moment for all, "because they're priests, and they want to say mass", but believe me, that resonates on a completely different level to the irish catholic, because it IS a priests answer to every problem in life, and we've all witnessed it!

Buck Pete · « **Reply #143 on:** January 8, 2008, 03:39:42 pm »

In that case Nidge, i don't believe anyone other than the English can actually "get" Fawlty Towers properly.

I mean how can anyone but an Englishman understand the goings on in a Torquay Guest house and the English eccentricities of a character like Basil and his cronies.

I'm sure the Big City dwellers of Dublin and Cork who have never been near a remote Irish island were equally amused at Father Ted as we were in Britain

Seriously Nidge - Matthews and Linehan set out from the start to make this sitcom accessible to ALL and i think the majority of us over here did "Get" it.

Yes, but you're a drunken leprechaun so it kind of evens itself out.

Good point, well made.

Pete - I'm not saying people don't get it - just that certain types of Irish people to whom this is all very familiar will get some more stuff that others may miss.

As I said, like the simpsons - most people get it and love it, but different people will take more or less and different things out of it depending on what resonates with them.

Mrs. Doyle: You've never read any of her books have you Father?
Father Ted: Actually, I'm a bit of a fan. That's where I was the other day. At her book signing.
Mrs. Doyle: Well, I am surprised, Father. I didn't think you'd like that sort of thing. I read a bit of one of them once. I couldn't finish it. God, the language. Unbelievable!
Father Ted: Well, it's a bit gritty. But that's the modern world, Mrs. Doyle.
Mrs. Doyle: It's a bit much for me Father. Feck this, and feck that...
Father Ted: Yes, Mrs. Doyle.
Mrs. Doyle: You big bastard. Oh, dreadful language. You big hairy arse, you big fecker... fierce stuff. And, of course, the F word. The bad F word. Worse than feck. You know the one I mean.
Father Ted: Yes, I do, Mrs. Doyle.
Mrs. Doyle: F you. F your f'in wife. Oh I don't know why they have to use language like that... I'll stick this f'in pitchfork up your f'in hole. Oh, that was another one, oh yes.
Father Ted: I see what you mean, Mrs. Doyle!
Mrs. Doyle: Bastard this and bastard that. You can't move for the bastards in her novels. It's wall-to-wall bastards.
Father Ted: [pushing Mrs. Doyle out of the room] Is it Mrs. Doyle?!
Mrs. Doyle: You bastard, you fecker, you bollocks! Get your bollocks out of my face! It's terrible.
Father Ted: Yes, you just go and prepare for the nuns.

Well considering that most priests in England were Irish when I was a kid, I beg to differ..

It's a comedy anyone can find funny, but the fact it's so 'Irish' i think we just get far more of kick out of it. Pity the RTE have never managed to come up with anything that comes close.

What you probably mean is that it resonates more with the Irish because you recognise the more subtle social aspects of it, whereas those not familiar with those cultural references will still find the broader brushstrokes of the writer's comedy funny.
