To this day I still use "that money was just resting in my account..."

[@susanashcroft2674]

I'm getting those tissues ready for the last two reactions to Father Ted, feels like visiting a familiar friend once or twice a month.

[@BenBanjo87]

The charades scene is one of my absolute favourites in the series! 🤣🤣 "It's a different film, it's a _very different_ film - it's a different _SHARK!"_ 🦈

I can't wait for Flight into Terror. It's a masterpiece 😀

[@Saint_Dan132]

The 4th wall break of father jack at the end, his way of saying you'll not get rid of me that easily 🤠

[@innerguardianXIII]

I think it was done because he did die, but came back and him being able to see us is the ability to see spirits after Near Death Experience....in other words...WE'RE dead X_X .

[@hellsing507]

Dougal: “you’re there now with Stalin and Bob Marley” I don’t think those two are comparable. 😂

[@Sara_Kane]

This one is a great episode, and definitely underrated. Dougal is hilarious, and the Charades scene is one of the all time great Father Ted moments. "One handed boxing!" 😂 There is a tinge of sadness now you're reaching the end of your journey through this classic show, but your reactions to it have been a joy to watch. :)

[@treborillusion]

I first saw this when I was a child but to me, this episode was Father Ted's 'Halloween episode' if they ever made one, this was it.

[@MrGersboy72]

Ted, Ted, I’m in tremendous pain Ted.

[@MossySphynxx]

Genius!!

[@ID-pw8zb]

Honestly mate, Flight Into Terror is the perfect penultimate end to end this fantastic series of reactions to this outstanding show. Father Ted was the most unique comedy ever made; there’s not any other comedies with the cult following that Ted has, it was a one-off. I’ve enjoyed watching you get through them, thanks a lot! 👍🏻

[@majorkilljoy]

Just thought of something. Ted said Father Jack didn't like enclosed spaces, yet in the episode where Ted is accused of being racist, Jack was in the clock and in the box at the end

[@redmond38]

Love this episode. Ted's monologue about snow in the end is from "The Dead" by James Joyce or more specifically from John Huston's movie adaptation (A really beautiful film by the way)

[@carljpgr]

One of my favourite ever sitcoms...it’s been a pleasure to watch and share with you on this journey. Hopefully you’ll enjoy them all and watch them again in the future.

[@florianmathaess1803]

23:15 Love the Dougal Bit after, when you look very closely, you can see that Jack has to refrain very hard from laughing. But you only see it for two seconds. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@thekillingfieldsable]

This still has me in stitches....RIP Dermot Morgan and Frank Kelly ❤

[@aranerem3767]

Flight into terror is a great Father Ted episode.

[@LambriniSupernova]

Flight into Terror is a great episode. The last episode is great but really sad, especially at the end knowing Dermot Morgan died a couple of days after. Thank you for reacting to Father Ted all these Months. Its been great to be apart of your journey through the series

[@ShadowDancer0988]

It was literally the very next day :(

[@LambriniSupernova]

@@ShadowDancer0988 yeah so sad, he could've done so much more

[@Jack_2004]

Father ted is the best the christmas one is my favorite one

[@PINKKYLIELOUISE]

The writers weren’t happy about the ending to this about how Ted and Dougal are wanting to leave more floor polish for Jack

[@KeplersDream]

Yeah, they often said how it was a bit mean spirited and out of character.

[@joeturton6627]

flight into terror isnt as much of a finale as the other two season finales, its just like a regular episode

[@drsardonicus2491]

Flight into terror is up there with my favourites

[@madalinam6183]

Mine too. I kind of wish he'd end the show with that.

[@scorchx3000]

It's a pity we're already past February. Taffe could have uploaded the final episode as tribute to Dermot Morgan (Ted) and Frank Kelly (Jack). Dermot passed away 28th February 1998 and Frank passed away on the 28th February 2018.

[@matthewclarke4127]

Bit of a mistake there; if Sister Monica thought Jack was dead, it would be too late for him to receive the last rites.

[@matthewjaco847]

Ted's monologue before Jack wakes up is a riff on the ending of "The Dead" by James Joyce.

[@nottydread]

Brilliant reaction to a brilliant show. Sad to get to the end. Would be good to see you do a top ten of your favourite moments from across the series.

[@scottbuckley823]

scary thing is Jack is mild compared to some of the priests and nuns in real life.

[@kevinmaltby]

Have waited so long for Flight into terror. My favourite episode by far.please don't disappoint

[@RandyRobbo]

Oh my god I forgot about flight into terror, it's so good

[@babskorns3161]

the sad part about this is the guy who played father ted died of a massive heart attack

[@Xerrand]

For some reason "The money is under the statue of our Lord being embarrassed by the Romans" line always killed me hahaha. Such a specific description of the statue! I always imagine a statue where Roman soldiers are giving Jesus a wedgie or something.

[@katethomas5712]

What does this statue look like?!

"Ted said you were touching him" 😄🤣😂

Flight is such a good episode. Looking forward to that.

[@RS250Squid]

Awwww yeah! I'm gonna watch this in a few hours when I can chill with a meal and a coffee :D.

[@Saint_Dan132]

So sad to see the final countdown , father Ted been here since day one loved every reaction it has been a great journey, I'm not too sad still got still game . ( So then you're a nun )

[@Saint_Dan132]

Phoenix nights had been great thus far too.

[@missyotsuba8508]

My ex worked on this episode I can't remember what he did on it but I know they named the solicitor's after him. His last name was Corless. I think he got seriously ill or something so they gave him a tip of the hat by naming the law firm after him..

[@TNGengar]

2 more to go. Edit: watched it now. You look emotional at the end man. Wonder if we’ll see a tear or two on the final episode.

[@stephenmurphy2212]

What makes this episode sad is that Frank Kelly, the actor who played Father Jack, is dead. 😢 He passed away five years ago on the 18th anniversary of the death of Dermot Morgan.

[@jackhynes7268]

“ Ted says you were touching him”

[@bladesman123]

The nun at the beginning is beautiful.

[@phillipbishop5419]

No way man can’t believe it only 2 episode to go. But I love this episode especially as it was end of season 1 so many great jokes and joy. Happy saint Patrick Day

[@leonpetrichiutto1152]

Next episode should be flight into terror. It's crazy and epically funny.

[@mypradasatthecleanerss]

I’d recommend taking a look at Upstart Crow if you fancied a bit of historical comedy with David Mitchell.

[@LambriniSupernova]

Be great if you could do the series of Bottom. My top series ever were Bottom, Father Ted and Red Dwarf, in that order

"He could have been pope"

[@leedstory6595]

Flight into Terror is one of my favourites. If you're looking for suggestions to do after Father Ted; might I suggest Porridge. A 1970s sitcom about life in Prison. Or Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads; a sitcom about two blokes who have just finished being young coming to terms with their 30s.

[@aranerem3767]

Great episode

[@GedUK]

Now, this is how to start the working week! Happy St Patrick's Day?

[@redzepp7881]

5:28 That's interesting that you mention about Dougal's voice, that it's a bit higher. I guess his real voice is lower. Apparently in the Tentacles of Doom episode which is in series 2, he uses his "normal voice" to say "it won't work will it Ted".

[@noelgallagher4204]

'Take a fucking sandwich'....lol

Rank every episode

[@hywelw]

Well, call me a Thicko... but I've watched this episode at least a dozen times in the past and never spotted the coffin "breathing" before like you did, Noah! Well spotted! It actually does even before you spotted it now that I've watched it again :O Next episode is a masterpiece (the finale of series 2) - and you'll see Father Faith in that one too (the incoherent monkey-man priest who threw the books off the shelves in this one!). Very different to ALL the others too with regards to location filming....

[@SergioMach7]

You can tell its the first episode they filmed, there does feel like a few weirder out of character moments than usual, mostly with Dougal's remarks and the lad banter about women. Still, its great you are doing the series finales, each one feels of its series so to speak so you can get different types of humour with each. 1 has weird offbeat humour trying to figure itself out, 2 is incredibly funny given its increasingly bizarre situations and 3 has a bit more self referencial remarks.

[@loquayrocks]

I've been to a wedding in Clones....

[@dcanmore]

Blackadder, Fawlty Towers and Bottom to counter those withdrawal symptoms.

[@ejl7666]

Do we know what show he's going to watch every episode of next yet? I wouldn't mind Outnumbered tbh

One thing you may not know about father Ted the theme tune was a song by divine comedy called songs of love

[@jackcarter5101]

Actually, the theme tune came first, and was later turned into a song with lyrics

[@fijiarc2090]

It's actually quite sad hearing dermot talk about death taking father Jack at the end when dermot died not that long after this was aired

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Of course, The Holy Stone would move again in the next series... One of my favourite lines of all: "Er, I'm in tremendous pain, Ted." I say that when I bump into something. My school was called St. Columb's... I went to the current version of it, but we joke that my uncle might have run into Jack when he went to the original building in a different part of the city in the 60s. Once, watching a repeat, when Jack tells us to feck off, the announcer then said "No, please don't do that! We've got loads more laughs to come tonight on Channel 4!"
