After being forced up an escalator in Chester Debenhams by my daughter, I inadvertently found myself surrounded by sexy lingerie, and being given the dirty eye by lots of shopping women. It didn't help that my daughter picked up some knickers ' that mummy would like'! Tut tut!
After carefully and diplomatically getting her to put them back, I tried to exit the knicker section without further ado.
It reminded me of the priests in the sit com.
What's your favourite scene?
its impossible to pick out one scene, nearly every word in every episode is perfectly chosen
alright then, the one where the visiting priest is deriding the 'poor quality' of the parochial house furniture by kicking holes through it and breaking bits of it off...
Father Ted ranting behind the window with the square of dirt making it look as though he is sporting
a hitler mustache-that had me rolling around on the floor, not for the first time with father Ted.
Definitely the episode at the end of which the 3 visiting bishops leave the parochial house - one joins a bunch of hippies, one with a holy stone up his arse and one in a coffin. When they've gone Ted says to Dougal
"Well, I think that all went quite well, don't you? "
Father Dougal McGuire: 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.
Father Ted Crilly: No... no Dougal, that's us. That's Catholicism you're talking about there.
The last ever episode, where Ted cheers up the priest played by Tommy Tiernan with The Theme From Shaft. Tommy's priest then gets on the bus happy as day, but the next song on the radio is Radiohead - Exit Music (From A Film) and he just crumples.
Craggy Island fete and all the attractions to draw the crowds:
'cat on a turntable', 'hill of goats', Father Jack trying some of them in his wheelchair.
Not the entire episode but 'Feck off cup!!' is hard to better.
Dougal: (Describing the Beast of Craggy Island) "They say it's as big as four cats and has a retractable leg so it can leap up at you better and it lights up at night and it's got four ears, two are for listening and the other two are kind of back up ears and it's claws are as big as cups and for some reason it's got a tremendous fear of stamps, Mrs Doyle was telling me it's got magnets on it's tail, so if you're made of metal, it can attach itself to you and instead of a head, it's got four arses"
Mrs Doyle: Have some cake father
Father Ted: No thank you Mrs Doyle
Mrs Doyle: Ah go on it's got cocaine in it.
Father Ted: Cocaine?!!
Mrs Doyle: Did I say cocaine? I meant raisins
Yes,
Father Ted as a racist, goes down te pub to listen to some real Irish music, which is playing as he goes in....then he realises the pub is full of migrants...
