      ‘Are we all to be racist now Father Ted’? [edit]
      “what’s the Church’s official position on all this”? [edit]
      It is true that the Irish Roman Catholic clergy blessed the ‘Blue Shirts’ a fascist group as they set sail towards Spain under the Nazi flag to fight for Franco in the Spanish Civil War. They did the same when they blessed young men who went to fight with Mussolini and Hitler later on. There was only a few thousand that left to fight for the fascists but the Roman Catholic Church blessed them all and called for many more to do the same. Ireland was locked in a battle with the British Crown and thought the enemy of my enemy is my friend. They hadn’t thought it through, the mass graves, the genocide. They chose to be on the wrong side of history. The Vatican became embroiled in helping members of the SS and Gestapo escape after Germany lost the war. Remember that next time you’re genuflecting and kissing your cross.

    Lemmy from Motorhead was a collector of Nazi memorabilia and many people assumed he was an actual Nazi. He was very knowledgeable about WW2, especially stuff about tanks and planes. There was apparently a TV documentary that Lemmy watched one time where the filmmakers slightly misidentified a particular plane and Lemmy wrote to them about it. It turns out he was right.

    Season 3 of Father Ted was always going to be the final season as the show producers had already announced this when going into production. Everyone involved wanted to move on and explore new opportunities. Even so, it was really sad to hear of the death of Dermot Morgan - who had been hosting a dinner party at his London home just the day after filming on S3 had ended. The final scene in the last episode was supposed to play out differently to the way it appears onscreen. The scene was deliberately changed in post-production as they felt the original ending felt tacky in light of Dermot's death. I won't spoil it, but you can find the details online of how that scene was supposed to end.
    In the Father Ted documentary "Small, Faw Away: The Worlds of Father Ted" is one of the most touching tributes, paid by Jim Norton (Bishop Brennon). He says he's not been able to watch his own final episode with Dermot because it feels to painful for him. That particular episode is still to come on your viewing schedule and it's an absolute corker!
    One last piece of trivia is that Frank Kelly (who played Father Jack) died on 28 Feb 2016, exactly 18 years to the day after Dermot.

    I used to watch Father Ted with my old Dad and our favourite episode was this one. He had memories of watching Hitler make speeches and he always used to say that Crilley mimicked Hitlers gestures so well. Very fond memories of watching these shows. The other show we watched together is an old sitcom from the U.K. called “The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin”, it’s quite dated now but still has some very funny pieces in it. I remember watching it with my Dad in the 70’s and he always used to laugh when Reggie imagined a hippopotamus running every time his wife spoke about her mother…my father wasn’t too keen on my Mums Mum, my Grandmother.

    Loved this😂 Well done, brilliant reaction video. I moved to Ireland in 2008 and I now live just 30 minutes drive from ‘Father Ted’s house’. It’s in County Clare over in the West of Ireland. Actually a working farm. You always see visitors posing outside the gate for their photo. All exterior shots and scenes were filmed in the West of Ireland, mostly Co. Clare and all interior scenes were filmed in a London studio over in England.

    The pre-credit scene at the start is actually a nod to the start of the first ever episode, where Ted was asking Jack if he could do upcoming Masses! Too bad Ted had to leave his lovely new parish and civilised colleagues...but then if he hadn't been sent back to Craggy Island, there wouldn't have been nearly as much comedy!! 😂
    Next time on _Father Ted:_ There's a chilling mystery on Craggy Island, and Ted shows his prowess with handling animals...and also his lack thereof with handling money!!

    I used to chat with Dermot quite a bit. I'm French but lived for many years in Ireland. We got to chat for I was putting back in his place an idiot thinking it normal to ask a group of teenagers if they were Nazis,just for they were Germans. I asked him if he thought the people in this pub should be arrested and put into jail without trial, after all they were Irish and Catholics. That idiot was an Englishman and so I was referring to the law of England that was still in place on matters of the Irish and the Catholics.
    Dermot who was watching the exchange and knew I was French made a comment to the likes of it was nice to see some at least had grown to put the war behind them. I didn't know who he was at the time, and we started to chat and play on words a lot (and that went on for months, whenever we would both be there at the same time). That night he told me, he was grateful I had defended these German children although not much older than them. Someone much later told me that his own children were half German, and he had probably seen what was awaiting them.. Anyway, a year later, one of his fellow actors in the show told me to watch out for the upcoming series, for there would be an episode I would enjoy and feel special. And that's the one.
    He was spot on, many people are easily accused of being racists, simply for they are playing on stereotypes for a joke, not seeing any racism or offence in it, whereas others who are genuinely racists get away with it by picking on people it was pushed upon us, it was alright to hate and insult ad vitam aeternam. It is only for we have been fed the idea that Germans were solely responsible for the war and they were all Nazis that we can see a black rectangle on a window and think "if he comes any closer, it will be a Hitler lookalike". To ignore the even greater number of murders at the hands of Stalin or Mao for exemple, shows how we have been pushed into finding racism ok if it is against Germans. Leading to that plot here: we don't notice the blatant racism against Germans with that perfectly angular black shape on the window and yet we see racism in the Chinese impersonation, the sole purpose of which was to play on word with the line "lighten up, Doughal" (cheer up, for people who do not know the saying in their part of the world). And for we then use an innocent joke or comment as proof of racism from someone who is meant to lead us on the right path (sorry, no pun intended), some actually racist people now allow themselves to dive in fully into their own discrimination; be it against a different group of people or not.
    As to his death, that was rather tragic. He had been diagnosed as having high blood pressure (reason why he had come to the pub I was in, so that people used to see him would not start asking him why he was avoiding drinking now). He was very tired after the recording of the series and when he did not feel well at the dinner table at his home, he wondered if he was having a heart attack but walked to his bedroom with his sister to discuss this instead of staying put and having someone call the emergency service for him. Supposedly for his symptoms were not the typical ones his sister knew as signs for a heart attack in the making. When she told him that mustn't be one, they walked back into the dining room and still did not call for help. He had the heart attack a few minutes later and could not be saved. If you ever feel symptoms likely to be or simply that might be linked to an upcoming heart attack, please sit down, keep your legs horizontal, your head supported by something comfortable, in a sitting position, and not putting more pressure on your heart or your liver by laying down towards one side or the other. Have the windows opened wide, and some water handy. Never make things worst by walking or laying down.

    With you on the final series of Father Ted, thought I would pitch Black Books as something you might want to follow it with. Sitcom starring Dylan Moran, Bill Bailey and Tamsin Gregg, Graham Lineham (who wrote Father Ted and The IT Crowd) was a contributing writer to it. Lot of chaotic humour and outright insanity at times: "Right now I'm eating scrambled egg with a comb from a shoe".
