Father Ted - Season 1 episode 4 (Reaction)

[@NoudlePipW]

I've worn Ted's Elvis jacket 😂 His youngest son, Ben, owns it now.

[@everready800]

What??? You can't go as Elvis!!! 😲

[@Sara_Kane]

Yay, more wonderful Father Ted reactions! :) An interesting fact about the show, is that the actors who played the 3 priests on Rugged Island (Fr. Dick Byrne, Fr. Cyril McDuff, and Fr. Jim Johnson) were all the 2nd choices to play Ted, Dougal, and Jack. This episode is just golden, so much laughter to be gleaned from it. Fr. Jack and his Toilet Duck hallucinations, Fr. Dunne the laughing priest ("It was a bit like, the type o' thing you know!" 😂) and "Ziggy played guitaaaaarrrr!", being just some of my favourite moments. Seeing you two discovering the magic of this show is a great joy. :)

The next episode is one of my faves, featuring Ted's (unknown to her) girlfriend and if you are wondering what he says throughout the episode it is "Good luck with the book". Also for newcomers, she calls him Father Curley instead of Crilly.

[@bestirishfirefighter]

Maurice O'Donoghue the actor who played Fr. Dick Byrne said he was glad he lost out on the role of Ted. In his opinion only Dermot Morgan could’ve been Ted.

[@Sara_Kane]

@@bestirishfirefighter Yep, that was on the "Small, Far Away" documentary about the show, which is wonderful stuff.

[@jethro1963]

@@bestirishfirefighter Apparently,back in the day there were a few efforts at a Father Ted reboot for the US. Steve Martin was touted for the Ted role.

[@jimisi7424]

Its such a pleasure watching new fans of the greatest sitcom of all time ;-)

[@britblue]

This is a series that just gets better & better1 - you've got to look forward to watching this

[@heathertaylor-nicholson9387]

Great to see Father Ted again and you reactions are wonderful. Verey sadly, Dermot Morgan who played Father Ted, died from a heart attack a day after the last episdode of series three had finished filming.

[@TheOrlandoTrustfull]

3:30 Father Jack telling Mrs Doyle to feck off, just for bringing some tea into the room, has been making me laugh for 20+ years.

[@hywelw]

For a bit of context, many of these episodes are based on elements from Irish culture of the period - all be it highly exaggerated! If you're not from the UK/Ireland, you may be interested to know that this one is based on the show Stars in Their Eyes, which is a British television talent series, based on Joop van den Ende's Dutch format Soundmixshow. It featured a singing contest in which members of the public impersonate showbiz stars. I don't think there was an Irish version around that time - but many Irish people watched UK TV either directly from Northern Ireland / across the pond in Wales with large UHF antennae. or via what were called deflectors, which re-transmitted UK TV across the island using "pirate" re-transmitters (they were eventually legalised, but by then, you could just as easily get British TV using satellite as all the main channels aren't scrambled and the footprint for the UK is wide enough to cover Ireland).

[@lifeofdazz]

I love this show it is still on re runs on tv here

[@jamesbarrett9466]

Niall Buggy, who plays Henry Sellers in this episode, also played the title role in John Boorman's Zardoz.

[@-M0LE]

The basttard 😊

[@seandoyle2983]

Good lord.

[@stephenmiller195]

Absolutely brilliant, you will get to see so many characters, it gets better and better, thanks guys

[@dontalkt2meboutheros]

Ted reading the magazine Halo instead of Hello 😂

[@jimisi7424]

I love all cameos that come with their wierd character quirks. Never dissapoints

[@abigail1st]

I see at the end there was a link to Derry Girls..... another fabulous Irish comedy 😉

[@nickwalters5380]

The 'go on go on go on' line was used by the UK government to get us to fill in our annual tax returns. No kidding!

[@deborahdennehy9937]

Hope you know what 'feckin' means??? ADORE Father Ted!! Miss him SO MUCH!!!!

[@adamwillis5013]

I love how you started swaying at the start and it cut you off like that. I was swaying with you until that point😄

[@bradlucy]

The sound is a little distorted at the end. I'm not sure what happened but my apologies

[@-M0LE]

Ya feckers 😂

[@Niki-mp8qe]

It's so nice watching these through again after watching them years ago when first aired, nalstaligic, though cant remember this episode, only went distorted last few seconds but could get the gist

[@chrishewitt5621]

I thought they had all turned into Daleks

[@brendanmaguire4134]

Ive been waiting for this.. we need 1 fr Ted a week. 👍👍😂😂✌🇮🇪

[@charlesquinn8746]

you should watch the full version of this episode

[@davecleggett9371]

If you ever get tired of Father Ted (why would you?), check out another sitcom 'Allo 'Allo - great show. But, word of advice if I may, you can't dip in and out of the series, you have to dive in with a resume intro first, which can be found on KZbin, after that all will become clear! Or not!

[@stickytapenrust6869]

I think Henry Sellers was a spoof of Henry Kelly, who was an Irish gameshow host on British TV at this time.

[@dyread]

Its more like Terry Wogan, who did sort of 'make the BBC', and had a wig.

[@CRH957]

It's a wig

[@teanosuger]

Oh the theme tune is Songs of love by The divine comedy Check them out

[@jenniferandrews1917]

ARE YOU BEING SERVED is an😮oldie but goodie. It centers around an uptight English department store and it’s colorful characters.

[@veryvarley6706]

You will be surprised at just how attached you become to these characters. For such a bizarre/stupid show it gets genuinely heart warming --- plenty more silly before any of that though.

[@jjcustard6378]

The Supreme in the middle looked like Castro Trudeau

Those Protestants...😔😔 Drinking and smoking weed again 😔😔

Theyre from that leper colony

Thought you might like to see this, a sweet & funny tune made as a tribute to Father Dunne, the laughing priest, and this wonderful episode. R.I.P. Fergus O' Kelly, "The old heh-heh". ❤ kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGOtYXRji9aaqpI

[@Bill_Dingsite]

I dont know if you have noticed but dougal does a little skip in every episode

[@natmanprime4295]

Great reaction, BUT...the sound feckd up round about when that alcoholic TV host took that second sip near the end

[@bradlucy]

Ya, I'm not sure why.

[@givenfirstnamefamilyfirstn3935]

Alcoholic TV presenter, who _made_ the BBC and wore wigs, …… thinking of Terry Wogan anybody?

[@sashamunro7163]

[@sashamunro7163]
