[@AlainnCorcaigh]

Here's something to think about, in the very first episode Father Ted (Dermot) was shown 3 death cards by the psychic at the fair. He died right after the last episode of season 3

[@Mihangel.]

I got a book of the show's scripts for Christmas one year. This episode was meant to end with Ted stood on the ledge next to Kevin the depressed priest. But with Dermot Morgan's death they changed it to the montage instead

That's true. They're very rewatchable. I think you'll also enjoy the retrospective programme 'Small, Far Away: The World of Father Ted'. There is even a Father Ted tourist trail of some of the filming locations around Ennis and in County Mayo in the Irish Republic. Tourists come from all over the world to have a cup of tea served in the parochial house - sadly not by Mrs Doyle, though!

This show is amazing honestly, definitely one of my favourite comedy's of all time. Also you must see the rabbits episode! Its so funny!

[@Robmoran1989]

As an Irishman who has watched every Father Ted episode a trillion times and is a huge part of my life it really hurts watching this episode knowing that Dermot died of a heart attack less than 24 hours after it was filmed. Apparently when filming the dance scene Tommy Tiernan (Father Kevin) made a lot of mistakes and continually flubbed his lines which required this scene to be filmed a couple of times forcing Dermot to perform the dance repeatedly considering that Dermot was not well from pains in his heart he died the day after filming from a massive heart attack. The episode was recorded on a Friday night and he dropped dead of a massive heart attack at a dinner party at his home the following evening. I remember it breaking on the news the following Sunday morning which made me burst out crying even to this very day. Dermot was years ahead of his time and the show is absolute legendary. Thank you for reacting to all the episodes and bringing Father Ted into your lives, I enjoyed the ride with you guys and laughing with you it was almost like seeing myself watching every episode for the very first time when I was a kid in the mid 90s.

[@frozennostril]

Died the next day... The sadness of which was reflected at the editing stage in the decision to montage, and not cut to a funny bit at the end, as they usually do. The uncanny timing of Dermot's passing, one day after completing the final chapter of one of greatest comedies ever, has a poignant, surreal weightedness to it that is all very very Irish. Glad you were able to appreciate it. I think the best reaction is the whistle episode, hilarious from start to finish..

[@ScotsGal]

Father ted is my faviroute sitcom of all time ..for me it's up there with Only fools , Still Game and Fawlty Towers but I always get bummed out at the end of this episode ..its so sad to think of what happened to Dermot just after filming this one ...Great reaction guys

[@Irishbeermonk]

Im glad to see your emotion. Dermot Morgan died very soon after this episode. People believe he died from a heart attack from having to repeat the Shaft Scene over and over with Tommy Tiernan due to him laughing. Ardle (Fr Dougle) said at Dermots funeral to Tommy Tiernan (depressed Priest) "you killed Father Ted" in jokey way. There was never going to be another episode. Graham and Dermot decided that was that with Father Ted. But, Dermot (Fr. Ted) was going to be a soccer manager in England in a new series under the Fr Ted creaters in a new series. Here in Ireland we watch him still so often. You should visit us. But, my recommendation would be react to Tommy Tiernan.

Greetings Goblinshites, I mean Gobshites Ahhh Feck it! Well the last episode, ain't that a right kick in the arse biscuits! Nevermind eh, I have the whole series on DVD anyway and I noticed this episode was slightly trimmed, but not so much as to miss anything, really. I love the part where Kevin is on the bus and you can see the colour drain from his face, when Radio Head comes on, it was rather well done with the lighting I thought. The doco is interesting, with Graham Linehan and Arthur Mathews discussing the series. On the DVD it comes in a couple of parts, so I guess that you'll get it in one go or maybe as a two parter. Anyways I'm glad Youse enjoyed viewing Father Ted, as much as I've enjoyed viewing it with the pair of Youse.

It was always intended to do no more than three series, in homage to Fawlty Towers which ended at two and is generally regarded as the benchmark of British comedy because of it. Less is more.

[@petertimoney3436]

Ardal O'Hanlon (Dougal) played a detective for a couple of years in a long running show Death in Paradise. I'll be honest it took me a while to accept him as the brilliant detective as I kept thinking it was Dougal in a new career path. A few episodes at least it took. I saw him do stand up just last week and he said people ask his wife whether he's as stupid in real life. He says he still gets this due to a 25 year old sitcom but nobody asks his wife if he's good at solving crimes despite that being much more recent. As for the sad passing, Jim Norton who plays Bishop Brennan says he cannot watch the kicking up the a*** episode because he finds it too painful as the episodes aired long after Morgan's death.

[@operationgoldfish8331]

With the British beers you often have to drink through the bitterness and get used to it before you can appreciate the subtler flavours. The Hobgoblin you were drinking was the India Pale Ale, which tend to be light but very hoppy beers, with a touch of a bitter taste. Hobgoblin's Ruby beer is generally less bitter. I don't know the stout you were trying, but even Guinness has an initially harsh flavor. Of the Irish stouts, I think I prefer Murphy's over Guinness. For better British beers I'd suggest trying a sweeter ale, like Flowers Original, or for something really special Theakston's Old Peculiar.
