Yes, although Father Ted is essentially an Irish creation (Irish writers, predominantly Irish cast) the story goes that RTE, the state broadcaster in Ireland, declined to commission the series initially, so the writers were essentially forced into seeking a commission from a UK broadcaster - in this case Channel 4. The studio segments were filmed with a live audience in a studio in London, but the outdoor scenes were all filmed on location in Ireland - mostly in County Clare on the west coast. I can't vouch for the reaction of Irish audiences but UK audiences (where the series was first broadcast) warmed to it greatly after the first few episodes, to such an extent that many of its phrases and sayings have entered common British parlance!
“A pair of feckin woman’s knickers” is possibly the greatest line in sitcom history
Well I've learned something about UA-cam today. They don't like seeing people smoking. So violence, wars, car crashes, corpses, WW2 executions, devastation, tsunamis, swearing and blood and guts in general is ok but no depictions of people smoking! UA-cam, you've got a very strange set of priorities!
Read an interview with Father Ted's writers who explained the origins of Father Dougal. They explained that the first script drafts involved an Irish Priest and his dog. Explaining that after they ran out of dog jokes they decided to write Father Dougal instead. They kept the jokes tho, and once I realised that Father Dougal is a dog it made the program even funnier. Love all the characters.
It is Kevin mckidd who played Lucius Vorenus in Rome. This was one of his first acting gigs
My mother's side of the family are Irish (and very catholic) and they all loved Father Ted. The Irish usually have a great sense of humour and don't get offended easily at all.
I'd forgotten how brilliant father Ted was. I think a full rewatch is in order 😂😂😂😂
“These cows are small, but the ones out there are far away.”😂😂
That's not true what you were told its an Irish production and most Irish people loved it there was even many priests who loved it
Father Jack and Mrs Doyle were so absolutely brilliant in this show - even though they didn't get as many lines as I would have wished. Their physical comedy acting is top notch.
Whenever my sons and I are forced to go shopping and end up in a department store we always quote the ‘it’s the biggest lingerie section in Ireland I understand’ line……one of the funniest shows ever made 😂
Little bit of trivia:
My gran was Irish, strict catholic and this was her favourite show
I was working in Ireland when it came out, and everyone there thought it hilarious! Never heard one negative comment.
There are few episodes of any sitcom that have so many laughs per minute. I still remember watching this the night it was aired, I thought I was literally going to die laughing. Luckily there were ad breaks to give me time to recover.
The show was funded by Channel 4, a UK company, but Dermot Morgan (Ted) had been doing his 'cool priest' character for years in his comedy shows in Ireland. Ted is that character put into a sitcom written by Irish writers who knew Dermot and the character.
It's written by two Irish guys so we are cool with father Ted .. hello from Ireland!
"Maybe I LIKE the misery!" Probably the most perfectly Irish line ever put on TV. XD
This Christmas Special was just the bomb, I'd forgotten how good it was. Everyone and everything in it was just perfect.
It was produced by a British television company, but by an almost entirely Irish cast, production crew and writers. It is parodying not only the Catholic church in Ireland but the old way of extremely remote, rural life that is now long gone. Along with a load of references to then scandals in the church. It was loved by the majority of people in Ireland right from the start - I remember people gathering in bars just to watch the latest episode. It was a great way to make light of an Ireland that no longer really existed by then.
