18:46 Bit of trivia. This priest in the middle, giving mass its Arthur Mathews, co-creator and co-writer of Father Ted who has also written for Jam, Brass Eye, Toast of London, The Day Today and much more comedy gold. Also, I've watched this episode a bunch of times and never realised that when Dougal takes over the float he blanked out "do it" on the "Milkmen do it on your doorstep sign." It now reads "Milkmen on your doorstep." It's the little details that make this a genius show.

The "Amorous Milkman" was a running joke in comedy sketches for years, there was an element of truth to it because there was always rumours about local milkmen having affairs with various housewives and gossip about certain kids being the Milkman's baby, most of the stories were just idle gossip, but some of it was true.

The man who played Pat Mustard, Pat Laffan was in a well known Irish movie called "The Snapper". In it he plays a 50 something year old married man who gets a teenage girl pregnant. He played the sleazy old man very well. Good movie, funny and heart warming. It also stars Colm Meaney.

[@areasquirrel]

The actor playing Father Beeching is best known now as lazy bum Cass in Ireland's longest running soap Fair City, but he still regularly gets people asking him Biscuit or Cake? When he appeared on a daytime show a few years ago they played a game where you gambled increasing prizes on him getting a question right. If he got it wrong, you just got cake. They called it Risk It or Cake? 🙄

I haven't seen this episode for so long and was kind of disgruntled when I heard you say it is known as the best ep XD But rewatching it after all this time, it's true, it is so good!

You have to review the episodes called ‘Hell’ it’s the 1st episode of the second series and its about when Ted, Dougal, and Jack take their annual holiday, after a friend of Ted's has offered them use of his caravan. It’s the episode with Father Teds most memorable scene where Ted tries to explain perspective to Dougal.....The scene is considered one of the show's most iconic, and was named as the third-best one-liner of any British sitcom in a January 2017 survey by The Telegraph.

[@bobtheskutterbot]

Yep, this one.

I love the attention to detail, like Ted's vomit goatee! Great lines in this, "Dougal, there's a bomb on the float!" "Who's that for?" An unattended pile of empty cardboard boxes were a staple of most 70's Cop show car chases with them having to be driven through, usually down a back alley-nobody ever got an anvil in the face! Honestly, pick any episode, there isn't a bad one.

[@ChocolatierRob]

Ok so I’m suggesting this a month too late but if you want to try something on a very similar theme look up Frank Kelly’s Christmas Countdown here on KZbin. Frank Kelly is narrating a series of communications from himself to a mysterious admirer who keeps sending gifts to him. He is very touched to be receiving something as thoughtful as a partridge in a pair tree but as the gifts keep arriving over a period of twelve days he gets increasingly overwhelmed with increasing numbers of birds, ladies dancing, etc. Frank Kelly starts of as a much more down to earth sounding priest than Father Jack but the situation just keeps getting more chaotic as it goes through the twelve days of Christmas in hilarious escalation.

(Father Noel's unfortunate / fortunate in canon death from a gas explosion is mentioned by Ted to Dougal in the episode "Going to America".).
