"Jacob's Creek Chardonnay, 1991!" 😂 The scene with Father Damo and Dougal playing Street Fighter 2, is one of my faves in the series. "Tell him that's fine, I don't care what he does! He's not the boss o' me!" 😂❤ The man berating Ted at the picnic spot with the "Fups", is Arthur Mathews, one of the two writers of the show. Love your Ted reactions, brightening up the day as usual! :)
The actual title of this episode refers to a long-running BBC music show called The Old Grey Whistle Test. "According to presenter Bob Harris, the programme derived its name from a Tin Pan Alley phrase from years before. When they got the first pressing of a record they would play it to people they called the old greys - doormen in grey suits. Any song the doormen could remember and whistle, having heard it just once or twice, had passed the old grey whistle test." - Wikipedia.
Yes, you are STONED; and HAPPY TOGETHER; and GENEROUS spirits. You are happy and you are drunk. Or you are happy and you are stoned! And you spend your time *BEING YOURSELVES!* Don't underestimate just how important that is; when most people spend most of their lives, *OR THEIR ENTIRE LIVES* watching everyone not being themselves!
Love you two! Thanks for being there when I need company.....I would love to have a Father Ted binge watch with you two! It would be so much fun! My Mam was from Limerick in Ireland and she was so funny with her sayings without realising she was hilarious.... she adored Dermot and a secret crush on Dick Byrns singing at the Eurovision....I have been so lonely since she died. This year I spent my birthday on the 21st and Christmas entirely alone, I didn't even have a tree up for the first time ever. Anyway, I just wanted to wish you both a really happy 2023! God I feel like I have been blasted into the future! Where do all the years pass so quickly after you turn 30!!!! Have a fabulous evening! I will see you on the other side of the Greenwich Mean Time Machine! 🙄 Best wishes, Julie from Manchester, England xxx
You don't have to be alone tonight Julie. We are going live at 8pm your time. Join us for some guitar playing and goofy laughter. We might do a marathon into the New Year. 😊🍻
You could even, shock horror, try your local church! A 'Proddy' one if you want - if you're not keen on the R.C.s. I'm a Proddy church leader, and love Father Ted and Life of Brian.
This episode keeps you grinning from start to end There is a show about the making of where the actors (minus ted😢) re visit the house etc and locations and go inside it’s very emotional But also the actors who appeared as guests each week were actually all waiting for that call it was that famous by then they all wanted to do it it’s such a beautiful show and the hang round shine through it’s not fake
The show is not anti Catholic, the director said that about him and the writers themselves. Small, Far Away - The World Of Father Ted (full documentary)
I broke my knee, Brad & Lucy are my daily therapy. Only channel I watch repeats with. I suggest Some Mothers do Ave em. Thanks from Brighton, uk. Nicholas
@bradlucy I'm touched, thanks you for the laughter, I genuinely couldn't watch these these shows again alone or on another channel were they talk sh**, you both are supercool. I do like watching tribal people watching the exorcist for the first time, Father Ted will forgive me If you don't like dark (Lucy says red) bee/ale, look at the hops and the other stuff, Irish doesn't mean good, my chef/Irish teacher didn't think Guinness was genuine unless it was drank in Ireland It would be funny/interesting to see Brad & Lucy do a blind fold drinking beer test. Cobra from India for example is meant to work with curry. I'm half Maltese and Scottish, so drink beer with whisky The only way you can top Mr faulty is with more British genius. Some Mothers do Ave em (the original Mr Bean), or the opposite right wing Alfe Garnett In sickness and in health/till death do us part Who am I talking to, I am boring Shut up Nicholas, DRINK I have to go, shhh
I find myself laughing so much while watching these show's (via you). It's only a little bit funnier that you laugh too, but it gives me the confident to laugh, cos I know it ain't just me laughing at this dated, traditional British humour
@@bradlucy Yep, I was really looking forward to it too. :( You could post it up on Dailymotion though. I know other reactors who use that site to post videos that have been copyright blocked by UA-cam. :)
The Old Grey Whistle Test was a BBC series featuring live band that generally where not in the charts. It commissioned by David Attenborough. Yeah that guy.
I don't know if suggestions go here but if you like dougal which you do seem to there is a show called "My Hero" with Ardel playing a superhero and it is like if dougal were superman I think it would be right up your alley.
Watch some 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown. (Particularly with Sean Lock) Countdown was the FIRST programme EVER shown on channel 4, back in the day; presented/hosted beautifully by Richard Whitely, Then the 8 Out Of 10 Cats team (another show) took over... …and IT IS A JOY..!! Particularly look out for Sean Lock (Especially "Nazi Island") Before "8 Out Of 10 Cats" took over, Richard Whitely once presented Countdown WITH HIS MICROPHONE OVER THE "O". In original Countdown, contestants select letters by asking for "vowels" and "consonants". IT IS A GREAT SHOW. It is still going now.
If you like father Ted, you shoukd see if you can find " my hero" with ardal ohanlon.he played dougal, the BBC made a whole show about a bad superhero.i believe it's available on UA-cam in the UK, but not sure about the usa
No, this episode is not anti-Catholic. Father Ted is *NOT* anti-Anyone. It's about *LEVELS OF BULLSHIT* and the messes we can get into, as a result of our dishonest stupidity. No matter what "faith" we hold, *WE ALL* only have one love!
When the young priest is called in for tea those that don't know it's not a cup of tea there referring to it's a meal, most of northern England and Ireland don't do lunch and dinner, instead it's called dinner and tea, so the young priest was being called in for a meal
Yes, in the old days the main meal of the day, dinner, was at dinner-time 1pm, and tea was a slightly smaller meal, at tea-time, 6 or 7pm. A rural Irish politician in the 90s once declared that he spoke for "the plain people of Ireland, those who eat their dinner in the middle of the day!"
What's the difference between a drummer and a drum machine? You only have to punch the rhythm into a drum machine once! You also have more chance of getting a round of drinks from a drum machine
Great reaction as always. Just one thing, am I going mad coz I can't see a reaction for episode 3 'Day of the Tentacle'? Edit: Just seen from other comments that it was blocked.
The creators of the show are understood to have thought the show is not anti Catholic, in fact I believe one of the writers has said it was just about three guys and they happened to be priests.
@@jethro1963 As I wrote, *I DO NOT* think it is anti-Catholic. It was clearly situation comedy in the tradition of the lead trying hard but losing every time. There were some mention of facts which some folks might prefer "hushed up". Christianity is partly about "revealed truth". So that is actually copacetic, 👍 However, _" ... just about three guys and they happened to be priests"_ is a joke. 😂 Eg. "Lingerie Department", Dougal's funeral, etc, etc, even their parochial house and Mrs Doyle, don't work otherwise. Best Wishes for a Happy New Year. ☮
@@gbulmer I guess I'll have to find the quote about the three guys who happen to be priests. Of course, there were specific bits for each character as the series was fleshed out but comedy has to be relatable as well. I don't know about you but I'm not a priest.
@@jethro1963 No need to find the quote unless it is the context of a full interview preferably video. Too much can get lost around a quote. _"...comedy has to be relatable as well"._ Yes, in some way. You added _"I don't know about you but I'm not a priest."_ I'm not an embezzler, abusive alcoholic, or simpleton either. But priests with those characters are already sounding funny. I'm not a hotelier, but I enjoyed Fawlty Towers. I'm not a Prince, Lord, 'butler' or infantry officer, but I enjoyed Blackadder. I'm not a nuclear power plant worker, but I enjoy the Simpsons. I'm not a CoE clergyman, but I enjoyed "All Gas and Gaiters".etc, etc. Of course a sitcom character has to be somehow relatable, and more than their job. So what is the point you're making? Are you _really_ saying the situations and comedy of Father Ted 'works' if they are 'just guys' and not priests? Or something else? Best Wishes. ☮
dont know if its been mentioned before but most of the guest priests who starred in each episode were well known stand-up comedians in Ireland ua-cam.com/video/asHzFBPsrt0/v-deo.html
the name of the episode is old grey whistle theft. Not sure where you are getting the incorrect episode names from. Just an fyi. Thanks for the videos.
I don't think it's anti-Catholic because it's too gentle for that. It's just a marginally mad version of reality. I think that's called "satire" - or maybe "farce". Hell, I don't know. Perhaps it's a bit of both. But who really cares? It's as funny now as it was then, and that's a sign of...well, something.

Dana BTW is a super catholic singer who was popular in the 60's Ireland.
Fantastic vid, fantastic reaction, no pauses, no cuts, fully visible vid, amazing 👏👏🎅
If anyone outside of Ireland wants to know what an Irish boy is like just show them Father Damo.
fact
Richard Whiteley was host of a dictionary based game show called 'Countdown' where contestants asked Carole (Vorderman) for letters
His Ties and waistcoats were amazing
She has quite the figure too. 😂
Yes, you are STONED; and HAPPY TOGETHER; and GENEROUS spirits.
You are happy and you are drunk.
Or you are happy and you are stoned!

Don't underestimate just how important that is;

No one is promised tomorrow, so enjoy yourself now! Only get 1 go at life!
