    I'm from Finland and I first saw Father Ted when I studied in Ireland in 98. It's now my teenage daughter's favourite TV show. Great comedy knows no borders and is timeless.

    When they tried to get Pauline McLynn to be on the documentary I wonder if they said "Go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on."

      She had moved on in her career.A shame she was a big part of the show.

    • @andyb3666
      @andyb3666 Год назад +1

      Pauline addressed this subsequently I think. She said was merely busy when they were filming this, no more to it than that.

    • @ismayb754
      @ismayb754 Год назад +1

      ​@@andyb3666 Easy to say that later though, especially when it's really nobody else's business. She might well have declined at the time because she wanted to distance herself, and then later on just said no I was just busy (because why should she explain herself). None of us will ever really know (and why should we?). Usually when an actor would LIKE to do something but can't due to other commitments, they actually make that very clear (so as to keep relationships good with everyone involved, which is very important in the biz). And if she had done that, I'm sure that would have been reflected in the on-screen caption rather than a pretty blunt "She declined." So I very much reserve my judgement on that one.

      @scottiegirl2041 9 лет назад +9

      solidsnake58 I know, and when he died is kind of spooky; it was 24 hours after they'd finished the last ever episode. Heart attack apparently.

    • @markds2
      @markds2 9 лет назад +5

      +solidsnake58 Agreed. I remember hearing the news at the time. It was a great shock and tragedy. The night after he passed away the BBC played the theme song with its lyrics (Songs of Love by Divine Comedy) and I remember shedding a tear.

    My facebook photo (and I'll NEVER change it!) is me standing at the gate of that very house! I went to Ireland for work and made a pilgrimage - something I'd wanted my whole life! My cabbie was utterly stunned he met an American who knew anything about Father Ted, much less was determined to see the house. He said when he told his wife, she replied that it was a shame Dermot Morgan hadn't lived to see that day. What a shame indeed.
    :( Rest in peace. Even in America we miss you, Father Ted. :(

    I'll forever love Father Ted because it transcended generational divides. My grandparents, parents and my generation all loved it, still do.

  • @markds2
    @markds2 9 лет назад +44

    My fave bit is 05:35 till 05:45: the transition of the mild-mannered, erudite Frank Kelly into Father Jack. It's hilarious and the difference between the two characters is very striking. The most moving part is what Jim Norton had to say.

    • @DemonNeil
      @DemonNeil 3 года назад +2

    That part with Jim Norton made me tear up.
    He says "I can't watch it. It's too painful." I thought he meant the getting kicked part. But it's because he misses his friend. :,(

    • @markds2
      @markds2 9 лет назад +35

      +Torgo Saves Me too, mate, the very same. I thought originally that he just meant he didn't like watching himself for egoic reasons. I too teared-up when I realised what Jim Norton really meant. It's especially powerful since up till that point he struck me as serious and stoic. Obviously he's a lovely guy.

    • @Angelic_Storm
      @Angelic_Storm 8 лет назад +24

      +mark d short It just shows what an amazing actor he is as well. He couldn't be less like his character, the tyrannical Bishop Brennan. A bit like how Frank Kelly is a million miles away from Father Jack. It's a testament to Dermot and Ardal that they were able to hold their own with such masters of the craft. RIP Dermot. :(

    • @TrulyStucker
      @TrulyStucker 8 лет назад +18

    • @Angelic_Storm
      @Angelic_Storm 8 лет назад +12

      Same. Of course, since I made that previous comment, the great Frank Kelly has also left us. It makes watching the show more poignant knowing some of the great actors in it are no longer around. This show will be a classic for all time though, long after we've all gone, people will still be enjoying Father Ted. And that is a great legacy to leave behind.

    After watching Derry Girls with my Irish friend I was so hooked on Irish comedy, and found Father Ted in 2018. Unbelievable, such a brilliant programme and all of it on RUclips. I still watch it from time to time because there's not anything else like it. Since the sad discovery that Dermot Morgan passed so young and Frank Kelly had gone too, watching Father Ted is a strange mixture of pure off-the-charts hilarity and a little sadness.
