I think they were making fun of Sinead O'Connor who attacked the catholic church around this time.

[@MeganRuth]

Ahh ok! That makes sense. Thanks! 😊

[@Poliss95]

The singer is the first Kochanski from Red Dwarf. 😁And she's Scottish.

[@skelbagz]

2:45 they're basically taking the piss out of the 'Rose of tralee' competition.

[@hadz8671]

Careful now!

[@musefan12345]

The lovely girls competition is a satirical take on the Rose of Tralee festival which is held every year. But I'm surprised you'd think it's a "historic" thing. Beauty pageants take place in the US quite a lot.

[@MeganRuth]

That’s true! I meant for the “challenges” they were a bit out dated. In the US the challenges are less cooking more talent/bikini

[@musefan12345]

@@MeganRuth ah ok, gotcha. Yeah I think for the purposes of comedy they just wanted to exaggerate the sexist attitude of the church toward

[@alundavies1016]

Nice to see Kochanski getting some more work!

[@MeganRuth]

Indeed!

[@keithewright]

Claire, man I fancied her after Gregory's Girl

[@trevorlsheppard7906]

Given the Irish catholic churches record in certain respects it's very suspect, probably deliberately.😊😊😊😊❤

[@MeganRuth]

Oh absolutely!

[@brandonmichaeledwards8983]

Not sure the Spice Girls had even started miming by then. This is Sinead O’Connor all over.

[@AnthonyValentine-vm1yc]

Mixed schools I look back & think are better. I went to an all boys school then after leaving, unleashed into a workplace full of girls & women. I never felt so gauche & embarrassed, they used to rib me relentless & mother me in equal measure. I was certainly 'fast tracked' into hopefully, a more rounded person, trying to understand a womens viewpoint. If I went into an all male environment? Hmm?

[@TheStruggleUK.]

I think ASL may have more signs for big macs, six shooters and howdy pardner instead of hello? 😊

[@alanmackie6180]

How can Dougal just give away the house? Doesn't it belong to the catholic church?

[@ehughes8829]

The Lovely Girls' Competition is a spoof of the Rose Of Tralee competition.

[@edwardlionheart2689]

Hahaha megan ruth was well triggered by this episode.

[@terencedavies1643]

The singer was in a band called Alterted Images one of their hits was "Happy Birthday"

[@MrSteveod21]

Err, Altered Images. No, sorry, I get what you did there, altered Altered. 😂

[@jericho9653]

Fr Ted was an Irish show, not British

[@avb3479]

It was commissioned by a british company, made in the uk for broadcast in the uk by a uk company. I was in the audience at the filming of the episode featuring chris the sheep, and it was on the south bank of the thames. Of course, the writers, cast and storylines are irish.

[@musefan12345]

@@avb3479 the talent behind it all was 100% Irish

[@aranerem5569]

Great show

[@arconeagain]

We have Auslan.

[@Gfreak250]

I once went to a Father Ted night hosted by Joe Rooney who played Father Damo (The Cool Priest) in the episode "Old Grey Whistle Theft" and there was a Lovely Girls competition, the winner of which was someone dressed as a Nun.

[@MeganRuth]

😂 that’s hilarious!

[@GreyPilgrim_Mithrandir]

Father Ted was pitched to Irish TV stations but they wouldn't make it as it was considered too sacrilegious and so it was pitched to British TV companies with Channel 4 taking it.

[@jameswiglesworth5004]

That is not correct, Father Ted was produced by Hat Trick Productions, a British company and pitched directly to channel 4 in the U.K.

[@musefan12345]

This is a common misconception. It was never pitched to RTE. Linehan and Matthews went straight to Channel 4 because they new it would reach a wider audience. The same reason Linehan's other creations (like Big Train and the IT Crowd) were pitched to British TV companies.

[@bexbugoutsurvivor]

Wise words from Megan @ 6.14 "Treat women like normal human beings" (let me get a pen)....lol Great reaction

[@john0597]

The actual person you actually see singing is Clare Grogan from the group altered Images from the 1980s

[@paulmidsussex3409]

I think you will find it was made for Channel 4 and only the exterior shots were filmed in Ireland.

[@FalcomScott312]

Beautiful reactions Megan I enjoyed it! Have a lovely week & Father Ted the best show ever in history! ❤

[@MeganRuth]

Thanks Falcom! You too :)

[@richinderbyshire4779]

Its Claire Grogan!

[@niallocallanain3579]

There is an ISL, Irish sign language.

[@MeganRuth]

Fascinating!

[@musefan12345]

Indeed there is, but I think we should clarify that that woman wasn't using it 🤣🤣

[@BrinkyBrunk]

@@MeganRuth was gonna reply but you got your answer. I used to play onine games with a deaf guy and would sometimes take over transcribing fleet comms, battle comms, or just teamspeak or discord shit talking into the channel he had for relaying. I was surprised at how many variations there were, and how ireland ISL is very different to BSL or ASL and others. The way that nordic countries might be similar, or latin based languages, or etc etc, sign language has it's own variation on that that sometimes doesnt connect when it comes to location. A very basic google says irish sign language is most similar to australian sign language. Anyway, dont take my word for it, i was just very curious and asked lots of questions, and when starting to learn realised im in the wrong part of the world to do that... i literally could not find an IRL course to teach me, and even then it would only be ISL. anywhoo, have a wiki en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_Sign_Language

[@paulmidsussex3409]

@@BrinkyBrunk There is one universal sign that is definitely the same in Irish and British sign language.
