    Dermot Morgan, the actor who played Ted, died of a heart attack the day after they wrapped filming on the final episode of Father Ted. He was only 45. 😢 This year marked the 25th anniversary of his passing. 🙏 There’s a memorial to him somewhere in Merrion Square in Dublin.
    Edit: You should see Dermot’s other work like The Live Mike, Father Trendy, Scrap Saturday, Thank You Very Very Much, Mr. Eastwood (music video) and his stand up performances (on UA-cam).
    Edit: Frank Kelly (played Father Jack) died exactly 18 years after Dermot did.
    Edit: If Dermot were alive today he’d be in his early seventies.

    The original ending of this episode was a lot darker. Ted finds himself back at the same window from the beginning with Kevin preparing to jump, only this time instead of talk him down, Ted asks him to move over, implying he's resigned himself to being stuck on the island forever and also intends to commit suicide.
    Dermot Morgan, who played Ted, suddenly and tragically passed away the day after filming of the series had ended. Since they didn't find the suicide ending funny anyway, and as a tribute to Dermot (it's actually a common misconception the show was cancelled because he died, but this isn't true,) the creators changed it to a montage of all the funniest moments across the show, with the final ending implying life simply goes on for Ted.

    Also bittersweet is the ‘Small, Far Away’ documentary about Father Ted. There are also a couple of documentaries about Dermot Morgan’s life and career prior to Father Ted as a comedian / satirist in Ireland on radio and tv there, his triumphs and his frustrations. Father Ted was going to be the stepping stone to other things he hoped to do now he’d achieved stardom, but it ended up being the apex of his career - and not a bad one. RIP Dermot Morgan.

    Ted and Dougal's first interaction in the first episode:
    "Morning, Ted!" "Morning, Dougal!"
    Their final interaction in the final episode (though it's recycled audio from 'New Jack City'):
    "Night, Dougal!" "Night, Ted!"
    24 hours after this was filmed, Dermot Morgan said goodnight for ever 😥😥😥 He was such a great comedy actor, and deserved to live longer and do much more.

    Some dark trivia. During the Shaft scene, Tommy Tiernan (Father Kevin) repeatedly flubbed his lines, meaning Dermot Morgan had to keep doing the dance over and over again. By the end of the scene, he had chest pains. Warning signs of the heart attack that killed him the next day.

    Fun fact - this episode had an alternative ending, where the show returns to the priest conference named 'It's still great being a priest', the depressed priest is back on the ledge, only this time, father ted depressed at the thought of staying at craggy island joins him on the ledge and says 'Move up a bit'. The writers were not happy with this ending even before dermots passing, but i feel his death certified the killing of that ending. I believe the scene was filmed but the footage was never publicly released and this ending only exists in script form from the shows script book

    Before location filming on the third and final series of Father Ted, Morgan underwent a mandatory medical examination in which he was found to have high blood pressure, and was prescribed medication. On 28 February 1998, one day after recording the series' final episode, Morgan suffered a heart attack while hosting a dinner party at his home in London's Hounslow area, at which the Scottish musician Jim Diamond was present. He was rushed to hospital, but died soon afterward. He was 45 years old.
    Morgan's sister Denise said "He wasn't feeling great at the end of the meal and I went to the bedroom with him. He had a heart attack, and I didn't recognise it. From my limited training in first aid, I wasn't sure exactly what was happening. The symptoms didn't match what the books said. I said to him 'I think you are okay' and we went back to the table. He apologised for having left the room and the next thing he just collapsed. We tried to resuscitate him but it didn't work." Father Ted co-star Frank Kelly said "Dermot's mind was mercurial. I think he was a kind of comedic meteor. He burned himself out."

    I’ve watched all of your Fr Ted reactions, and I just wanted to say thank you! Well done for getting to the end. Was great watching you guys appreciate it as much as we did originally.
    I don’t mind admitting, I was crushed when it ended. I’d been living in Moscow when the final season aired, and I’d come back with an acute case of depression (it wasn’t a pleasant experience!). My dad had taped the entire final season whilst I was away, so on my first night home, I watched the entire lot, thinking it would cheer me up. At the end of the last episode, I think I wept for a solid hour. Of course, I’d heard about Dermot Morgan passing whilst I was abroad, and the sadness of it hit me like a wave. Watching them back now though has brought a smile to my face from beginning to end. 😁
    That final montage, by the way, features a scene from every episode in every season. It was the perfect way to end it.
    Also, ‘Kevin’ the suicidal priest is, is played by a well known Irish stand up comedian, Tommy Tiernan. He’s great. There’s a clip of him here in action that’s well worth a reaction!!

    I loved the ending to Father Ted. It was so perfect, and some contentment can be found in it. Even though Ted is doomed to spend the rest of his life on Craggy Island with Dougal, Jack and Mrs. Doyle, and none of his dreams will come true…there is solace to be found in being part of a strange family in a forever barmy, yet familiar place.
    And for the showrunners to recap the entire series in a montage with a beautiful rendition of the Father Ted…it’s a perfect tribute to Dermot Morgan and really hits home what an amazing show it was.

      The ending, as originally filmed, had Ted about to throw himself out of the window rather than face life with Jack and Dougal on Craggy Island. It was then decided that this wouldn’t be a good way to end the show so they did the montage instead. Some people mistakenly believe that the montage was used because of Dermot’s death but Mathews and Linehan have stated that the decision to do the montage instead was made before the episode had been completed and Dermot was still alive.

    The writers did think about making a 4th series even before they had made the final series but then they felt that if they did they would have started to repeat what they had already done, Dermot Morgan died at a house party several days after this final episode, had that not have happened they might have made a millennium special or something.
    Speaking of which if you wanted to make up a happy but also sad ending for Father Ted here's mine: A few years after the final episode Ted, Dougal and Mrs Doyle woke up on January 1st 2000 to find that Jack had passed away and this time they got the money he had previously left them in the will and they decided to leave the parish and move to America. Bishop Brennan tries to refuse it but they black mail him with the video tape of him and his son, so they leave the parish and move to America, they take Mrs Doyle with them and live happily ever after!

    Please watch the documentary about Father Ted. Its called "Small, far away". It features a lot of the actors who appeared on the show including Frank Kelly who played Jack and Ardal O'Hanlon who played Dougal.

    Balance of happy and sad. Well done queen that’s how traditional Irish music is played . A sad song is always followed by riotous song and before you get to riotous they pull ya back down with some beautiful sadness. Beautiful sadness writing those words just reminded me of our beautiful Sinead o Conner who we lost yesterday, may her soul finally find peace.

    I’ve seen every episode of Father Ted a dozen times. But only just now have I noticed that the very first line in this episode has a priest introducing Ted to “Father Brian Eno”, along with a brief cameo by Brian Eno himself.

    The show was written by two Irish guys for UK TV (contrary to popular belief, it was never pitched to Irish TV or rejected by it). For most of the world, it's a wacky comedy. UK audiences do get a lot of the references but if you're Irish, particularly if you grew up between the 60s and the 90s, the show resonates on a whole other level.
    It should be said that the plan was to finish after 3 seasons. Morgan himself had said as much in interviews so his death didn't affect things in that regard although had he not died, there may have been one off special episodes.

  • @alexroberts771
    @alexroberts771 Рік тому +1

    You should watch Derry Girls. The actor playing the suicidal priest plays a main character. In the final episode of Derry Girls, the actor playing Dougal has a part in the final episode.

    Small, far away - the world of father ted is like a documentary the actors all meet up ect. They talk about Dermot Morgan too. If you really want to see something father ted related that's always an option. It's on youtube.

    I haven't read through 600 comments, but Father Brian Eno is THE Brian Eno who played keyboards for Roxy Music and co-produced David Bowie's trilogy of Berlin albums, invented the term "ambient music" and has done loads else, so it's nice to see him spending 2 seconds in a Father Ted episode just for the hell of it.

    I can't recommend One Foot in the Grave enough! I remember a reaction vid a while back King Boomer saying old men flipping out is hilarious to him 😂Victor won't disappoint!
    Derry Girls too! A comedic take on what life was really like for teens in 1990's NI. An absolute Gem! 💎
    Feels like an end of an era, but we got MUCH MUCH more in store for you both to enjoy! 🤟

    It’s a hilarious but bittersweet episode that leaves you with a feeling kinda like the last Blackadder episode when you know the back story to post filming tragedy … 😮

    The sad song on the bus was by a band called Radiohead. Most of their music was like that. I remember once a reviewer where writing about one of their new albums said it was the best album in the world to commit suicide to! So they knew where going playing that one on the bus.

    Reaching the end is bittersweet. There can never be another Father Ted. The next series you might want to react to is "Firefly". It's a mix of drama and comedy and by the end of the short single season they had, you'll be in love with it.

    I went to a comedy show earlier this year staring Ardal O'hanlon. He's an amazingly smart man, but he made a lot of jokes about being called stupid because he played Dougal. I feel a bit blessed to be honest to see a man in real life who shaped a lot of my childhood with his comedy.
