Dougal: “God Ted, I’ve heard about those cults. Everyone dressing in black and saying our Lord’s going to come back and judge us all.”
Ted: “No… no Dougal, that’s us. That’s Catholicism you’re talking about there.” |

July 19th, now why does that strike me as important?
Would that be the day the ice age ended?
No dougal, you can’t be that precise about the ice age!
I’ll look it up in the diary.
July 19th, on this day Galway librates from the Indians.
Marathon becomes Snickers
Ahhhaaa Ted, ice age ends!

I had to copy and paste this one but it’s my all time fave
Because of the beast. They say it's as big as four cats and it's got a retractable leg so's it can leap up at you better. And you know what, Ted, it lights up at night and it's got four ears, two of them are for listening and the other two are kind of back-up ears. Its claws are as big as cups and for some reason, it's got a tremendous fear of stamps! Mrs Doyle was telling me that it's got magnets on its tail, so's if you're made out of metal it can attach itself to you and instead of a mouth, it's got four arses! |

God, Ted I’ve never met anyone like him anyway. Who would he be like? Hitler or one of those mad fellas
Oh, worse than Hitler. You wouldn’t find Hitler playing jungle music at three o’clock in the morning |

The quality of the team's scriptwriting was superb; but I do think Father Ted is broadcast much too often.
After 25 years, it stands up very well; my personal favourite is the Eurosong episode, especially the bit where Ted is frustrated by his inability to compose, and is surrounded by scraps of paper. The best ever!

The very best scene, where nothing is said, is the one where Mrs Doyle is washing Dougal, as he is seated naked in the bath.
Amazingly, I personally know of a instance where this actually happened, in real life!
No names, of course! |

Tommy Tiernan tells about getting his lines wrong so many times on the final episode that Dermot Morgan had to repeat a stunt over and over.
During Dermot's funeral Ardal O'Hanlon turned to Tommy and said "You killed Ted!" |

"These ones are small, but those ones are far away. "
The person within the team of scriptwriters who conceived that gem should have got an award; that will be remembered for decades, if not longer!
They are equally as good as the writing team, headed by Nat Hiken, on Sgt. Bilko, aka The Phil Silvers Show aka You'll Never Get Rich. |

Ted: “So you took Father Jack out for a walk… and you lost him. Again.”
Dougal: “Well, Ted, like I said the last time: ‘it won’t happen again’. What’s the worst that could happen to him anyway?”
Ted: “Well Dougal, he could have an accident and be killed.”
Dougal: “Oh right, yes.” |

The writers of Father Ted went to the same school as I did in Dublin. Its located on Lower Leeson St. All of the majority of the Father Ted priest characters and names are based on priests from the school. I know who Father Jack and Father Ted were based on. Father Jack is a worse example of one particular priest but very accurate still. Fr Larry Duff is a slightly altered name. |

Father Ted from the mid-1990s is progressively being immortalised in the same manner the Sgt. Bilko of the mid-1950s was; superb writing and dramatis personae which epitomised the Zeitgeist of the time.
Mrs Brown's Boys is not in the same league as these two gems, that generations of new audiences will be watching in the next century. |
