Father Ted - Season 1. Episode 3. The Passion of St. Tibulus

[@Quessir]

The John and Mary bit is recalling a time when the parish priest used to be a figure of some importance, when he'd call around to houses to see how people were doing. Every household wanted to present a picture of perfect domesticity, so a false air of sweetness was usually to be found. Similarly, John and Mary can't stand the sight of each other and are actually attacking one another, but as soon as one of the local priests shows up it's all sweetness and light!

[@newuk26]

Also divorce had only just been legalised in Ireland at this point, so you had couples who hated each other but were stuck together

[@Quessir]

@@newuk26 An excellent point! Catholicism had such a staunch hold over the people for so long and it was all starting to come apart in the 90s, with scandal after scandal emerging. Father Ted came along at just the right time and gave us a chance to laugh at it all, long-held beliefs that were just taken for granted and just the silliness of the pageantry and ceremony of it all. As well as portraying a surreal yet also truthful version of an Ireland that was quickly being left behind.

Ah, the first appearance of Bishop Brennan, definitely not the last. The ones with him in are probably the best.

[@foobar476]

Watching this you realise there's a few things we haven't been introduced to yet that you would be forgiven for thinking are the mainstay of a Father Ted episode: Father Dick Byrne and his crew, the phone call to that priest that's always at an inopportune moment, Father Jack settling into his four word vocabulary.

Mrs Sheridan (the lady on the right going to the cinema) was also the Torot Reading lady in the first episode of Father Ted.

[@kevincollins8484]

The theme song to Father Ted is called "Songs of Love" by The Divine Comedy. It's a brilliant song.

[@alancaheny777]

So glad that you guys are reacting to Father Ted. Such a funny show!

[@joguipo]

So glad you two are doing Father Ted. Thank you. This was my favorite intro so far. Big love from Spain.

My uncle is a priest in rural Ireland. On the western coast. It is fairly accurate. In a sense. Sunday best for church.

[@Cobalt-Jester]

What happens in this episode is called the "Streisand Effect". It's when you complain so much that something that would have gone unnoticed becomes popular. It's named after Barbra Streisand. She complained online that Google Earth could see her house. And because she complained about it everywhere she could it became the highest Google searched item that month. Had she never mentioned it no one have bothered. hahaha

I find it so funny that a Canadian couple in 2022 are watching my (an Englishman) favourite ever sitcom, as if it's brand new. Fantastic. I can't wait for Speed 3, Flight into Terror, Chirpy Burpy Cheap Sheep and Kicking Bishop Brennen Up The Arse. 😂😂😂

Down With That Sort of Thing became a catchphrase.

[@chipsthedog1]

Guys you would absolutely love Porridge starring Ronnie Barker it is set inside prison and is a British classic. The whole series is amazing and they made at least 2 movies as well. When you have space it would be great to see you both react to it & as it popular you should get good viewing figures. There is even a documentary on KZbin called Porridge the best British sitcom.

Did you both know Dermot who played Father Ted died the day after filming the final episode aged 45.

[@martinbobfrank]

I don't know how true this is (because it was a long time ago), or whether I am remembering it right, but decades ago I was having a drink with my dad where I live. A local catholic priest, who was a friend of my dad, was talking to me (he'd had a few holy spirits down him). He stated that a lot of Catholic priests watched this programme because it was so close to the truth of how they live. I've never been a priest, but as someone who has worked in the IT field, I know that the 'IT Crowd', another piss-take comedy, is very accurate to how IT people work or think. So maybe it could be true!

[@madgeordierob7890]

Big flaw in the writing during the Cluedo bit; asking for cards that you have in your own hand is actually a valid tactic and is allowed under the rules of the game.

[@TheOrlandoTrustfull]

Ted said that Dougal showed him his cards, pay attention

[@madgeordierob7890]

@TheOrlandoTrustfull Yes but it's still a valid tactic. You can do it regardless of which cards have already been shown. It narrows down your opponent's choice of which one to show if they have more than one of the ones you're actually looking for.
