Father Ted - Series 2, Episode 4 - Old Grey Whistle Theft (Reaction)

[@Sara_Kane]

"Jacob's Creek Chardonnay, 1991!" 😂 The scene with Father Damo and Dougal playing Street Fighter 2, is one of my faves in the series. "Tell him that's fine, I don't care what he does! He's not the boss o' me!" 😂❤ The man berating Ted at the picnic spot with the "Fups", is Arthur Mathews, one of the two writers of the show. Love your Ted reactions, brightening up the day as usual! :)

[@richardfurness7556]

The actual title of this episode refers to a long-running BBC music show called The Old Grey Whistle Test. "According to presenter Bob Harris, the programme derived its name from a Tin Pan Alley phrase from years before. When they got the first pressing of a record they would play it to people they called the old greys - doormen in grey suits. Any song the doormen could remember and whistle, having heard it just once or twice, had passed the old grey whistle test." - Wikipedia.

[@nicholasformosa2078]

@bradlucy I'm touched, thanks you for the laughter, I genuinely couldn't watch these these shows again alone or on another channel were they talk sh**, you both are supercool. I do like watching tribal people watching the exorcist for the first time, Father Ted will forgive me If you don't like dark (Lucy says red) bee/ale, look at the hops and the other stuff, Irish doesn't mean good, my chef/Irish teacher didn't think Guinness was genuine unless it was drank in Ireland It would be funny/interesting to see Brad & Lucy do a blind fold drinking beer test. Cobra from India for example is meant to work with curry. I'm half Maltese and Scottish, so drink beer with whisky The only way you can top Mr faulty is with more British genius. Some Mothers do Ave em (the original Mr Bean), or the opposite right wing Alfe Garnett In sickness and in health/till death do us part Who am I talking to, I am boring Shut up Nicholas, DRINK I have to go, shhh

Love you two! Thanks for being there when I need company.....I would love to have a Father Ted binge watch with you two! It would be so much fun! My Mam was from Limerick in Ireland and she was so funny with her sayings without realising she was hilarious.... she adored Dermot and a secret crush on Dick Byrns singing at the Eurovision....I have been so lonely since she died. This year I spent my birthday on the 21st and Christmas entirely alone, I didn't even have a tree up for the first time ever. Anyway, I just wanted to wish you both a really happy 2023! God I feel like I have been blasted into the future! Where do all the years pass so quickly after you turn 30!!!! Have a fabulous evening! I will see you on the other side of the Greenwich Mean Time Machine! 🙄 Best wishes, Julie from Manchester, England xxx

This episode keeps you grinning from start to end There is a show about the making of where the actors (minus ted😢) re visit the house etc and locations and go inside it’s very emotional But also the actors who appeared as guests each week were actually all waiting for that call it was that famous by then they all wanted to do it it’s such a beautiful show and the hang round shine through it’s not fake

Watch some 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown. (Particularly with Sean Lock) Countdown was the FIRST programme EVER shown on channel 4, back in the day; presented/hosted beautifully by Richard Whitely, Then the 8 Out Of 10 Cats team (another show) took over... …and IT IS A JOY..!! Particularly look out for Sean Lock (Especially "Nazi Island") Before "8 Out Of 10 Cats" took over, Richard Whitely once presented Countdown WITH HIS MICROPHONE OVER THE "O". In original Countdown, contestants select letters by asking for "vowels" and "consonants". IT IS A GREAT SHOW. It is still going now.

When the young priest is called in for tea those that don't know it's not a cup of tea there referring to it's a meal, most of northern England and Ireland don't do lunch and dinner, instead it's called dinner and tea, so the young priest was being called in for a meal

[@sean_d]

Yes, in the old days the main meal of the day, dinner, was at dinner-time 1pm, and tea was a slightly smaller meal, at tea-time, 6 or 7pm. A rural Irish politician in the 90s once declared that he spoke for "the plain people of Ireland, those who eat their dinner in the middle of the day!"

No, this episode is not anti-Catholic. Father Ted is *NOT* anti-Anyone. It's about *LEVELS OF BULLSHIT* and the messes we can get into, as a result of our dishonest stupidity. No matter what "faith" we hold, *WE ALL* only have one love!

[@jethro1963]

The creators of the show are understood to have thought the show is not anti Catholic, in fact I believe one of the writers has said it was just about three guys and they happened to be priests.

[@gbulmer]

@@jethro1963 As I wrote, *I DO NOT* think it is anti-Catholic. It was clearly situation comedy in the tradition of the lead trying hard but losing every time. There were some mention of facts which some folks might prefer "hushed up". Christianity is partly about "revealed truth". So that is actually copacetic, 👍 However, _" ... just about three guys and they happened to be priests"_ is a joke. 😂 Eg. "Lingerie Department", Dougal's funeral, etc, etc, even their parochial house and Mrs Doyle, don't work otherwise. Best Wishes for a Happy New Year. ☮

[@jethro1963]

@@gbulmer I guess I'll have to find the quote about the three guys who happen to be priests. Of course, there were specific bits for each character as the series was fleshed out but comedy has to be relatable as well. I don't know about you but I'm not a priest.

[@gbulmer]

​@@jethro1963 No need to find the quote unless it is the context of a full interview preferably video. Too much can get lost around a quote. _"...comedy has to be relatable as well"._ Yes, in some way. You added _"I don't know about you but I'm not a priest."_ I'm not an embezzler, abusive alcoholic, or simpleton either. But priests with those characters are already sounding funny. I'm not a hotelier, but I enjoyed Fawlty Towers. I'm not a Prince, Lord, 'butler' or infantry officer, but I enjoyed Blackadder. I'm not a nuclear power plant worker, but I enjoy the Simpsons. I'm not a CoE clergyman, but I enjoyed "All Gas and Gaiters".etc, etc. Of course a sitcom character has to be somehow relatable, and more than their job. So what is the point you're making? Are you _really_ saying the situations and comedy of Father Ted 'works' if they are 'just guys' and not priests? Or something else? Best Wishes. ☮

I don't think it's anti-Catholic because it's too gentle for that. It's just a marginally mad version of reality. I think that's called "satire" - or maybe "farce". Hell, I don't know. Perhaps it's a bit of both. But who really cares? It's as funny now as it was then, and that's a sign of...well, something.
