- On the 15th anniversary of its launch, this documentary follows Father Ted creators Graham Linehan and Arthur Mathews as they return to Craggy Island on a road trip across Ireland, taking them back to some of the key filming locations from the series.
Father Ted captured a specific Irish humour rarely seen on screen and its impact doesn't seem to have faded. The show is revealed as a product of a pair of ambitious writers, a brilliant cast and the gently confident producer Geoffrey Perkins, whose suggestion of turning a one-off mock documentary into a sitcom helped make it the much-loved show it is today.
Ardal O'Hanlon, Frank Kelly, Graham Norton and many others pitch in with their reminiscences of the show, the passion it inspired and their memories of the late, great Dermot Morgan.
I'm a 41 y/o mom of 3, from Colorado. I've been watching Father Ted since about 1999 when Comedy Central ran The best of the BBC one weekend. My children are also fans, and Father Ted has helped me through severe depression.
Have you watched the IT crowd, same feel, hilarious but also interesting characters that grow to have a strong bond, and need each other, also written by Graham Linehan. There’s a UA-cam channel called IT crowd
@@123YMRI know I've heard of it but I don't know that I have watched it I'll have to look into it thank you
Father Ted is why I want to live in Ireland and love Irish people 🥰 I am from the UK
Kiss me I’m Irish
I always love John and Mary, they're great addition to the show
Shame that the actress who played Mary, died a couple of months ago. Reminds me of me and my missus!
Same.
Sheer genius.Father Ted was brilliant.
Johnny and Mary were right on the ball! I Had parents like that!!....But watching them on Father Ted just made me laugh harder!
R.I.P Mary 1951-2021
I spoke to my local priest about 15 years ago and he said he loved Father Ted and he said that Father Ted was not all that far away from life as a Catholic Priest
I'm from Colorado, I worked as a server for 20 years, and occasionally, I'd wait on guests from Ireland. We always bonded over our mutual love of Father Ted. Father Ted is my 'go to' when bouts of depression strike.
Only the Irish could make fun of religion and get away with it.
Yep a Irish priest can drink gamble smoke and swear
We would talk about Father Ted in school on a Monday and I got sent out the class one day for saying “knickers” like Father Jack. When the teacher came out to give me a bollocking I was trying so hard not to laugh but I couldn’t help it!
Ww
How can anyone knock this show it makes you warm to the Irish even more...it does me anyway as a Catholic Englishman..
I'm not a Catholic but my parents were and from eastern europe and we had the same religious rugs over the back of our sofas as in father ted,
It doesn’t get better than Ted. Just brilliant.
6:36 The Father Ted theme song sounds beautiful on the piano. Especially that slightly dissonant chord. I had to wipe my eyes for a moment. LOL
I've recently re-discovered the Divine Comedy/Neil Hannon and am staggered at his cornucopia of 12 studio albums (not including the 2 cricket ones and a couple of operettas, and possibly the dis-owned one, etc). Really worth checking out. They're on tour later this year. I bought 'Songs of Love', made after the theme tune, as piano solo sheet music and play it regularly: highly recommend that too, simple but beautiful.
The harmony in the theme is interesting. That 'dissonant chord' is a tritone substitution, a common composition technique in jazz :)
The actual song 'SONGS OF LOVE' is beautiful
This series makes me laugh hard. Every time I watch it...over n over. Its genius!
John and Mary fighting at Funland; “Get the feckin’ Crunchies out of the car!”.
Sheriff Industries You have a face like a pair of tits!! Well at least that’s one pair between us.
@@bid84 What a classic!
Wonder does she get it shouted at her much brilliant line!
Funniest line ever😂🤣😂
We have all said that to our now ex wives
Graham Lineham is a fellow spirit to Jonathan Harvey. Both deeply adored by the public for their boldness, uncompromising spirit and imagination.
love Dermot morgan. cant think of a funnier man that we produced.
Iconic show and will always be remembered!
This is a comedy I will remember for the rest of my life number one without a doubt I am only a few miles away from the father Ted house great memories never forgotten ❤️💕💕💕👍👍👍
Wonderful!! I'm in the UK,but my go to is watching father ted for the ultimate comedy relief ,it's the best
No kidding, I have DREAMT of the "small, far away" scene, and woken myself up laughing!
this was such a fantastic TV show I absolutely loved the show, coming from an Irish and Scottish American Yankee
"Get them fecking Crunchies out of the car." 🤣😂
❤️ John and Mary!!
Loved John and Mary :-) :-) very funny
Noel still looks as excited as he did in the fillum. Best sitcom ever and yeah, I'm sad too :(
Fabulous show, the fact you watch the same programme again and again and still laugh afresh is testiment to that. Graham Linehan also created the IT Crowd, another hilarious prog. which stands repeat viewings. Neil Hannon of the Devine Comedy wrote both theme tunes and turned the FT one into the glorious 'Songs of Love' which you can buy the sheet music for. I forgot about the DC after 1997: turns out Neil's done 11 DC albums and a whole lot more - check them out, peops! A new album out 7 June and touring UK and Europe Oct/Nov 19.
Kind of amazing how even though the whole point of my lovely horse is of it being a joke song of little merit, when Neil Hannon sings it with that piano its like Mozart!
Yea when it's broken down like that it brings on a new form.
Never thought the Irish were like that, just plain funny comedy! They do it better than any other nationality
You cant deny people, their talent. Graham, and Arthur's talent, is comedy writing. Just because someone doesn't like it, doesn't mean nobody likes it. Let people be. Being Irish, i was, and never will be offended by Father Ted.
Seriously this is the best comedy sitcom I've ever watched. Irish people should be proud of Father Ted better than of any film(although I don't know any other... right). There is nothing to be ashamed of, really.
Yes I agree, I have been to rural Ireland and I have treasured memories
We are proud of Father Ted.
Mary looks just like she did all those years ago!
I remember a golden time in my life and fr.ted was a big part of it.
one of my favourite shows of all time i always loved irish comedy but father ted was always my favourite show i found dermot morgan and frank kelly hillarious someday i will meet them both and thank them for bringing the world some joy and laughter
Mary and John where awsome together =)
Wow the Father Ted theme songs of love does truly sound beautiful as well as comedic..
It’s only when you marry into an Irish family, as I did 32 years ago and have Irish grandparents on top of that, that you realise just how accurate an interpretation of the Irish the Father Ted series was ! Having spent so much time there you realise how real the characters were. My lovely sister in law is a Mrs Doyle 🤣🤣
Absolutely fabulous! Brilliant comedy! Drink!
I love Father Ted :)
"Small, far away". That's enough to get me giggling!
I so wished that more episodes and series couldve been made but then sadly not long after the end of the final series dermot morgan sadly died. It saddens me that such an iconic programme that we all love so much only had a few series when it couldve been so much more and look now farther ted is far more popular thanks to the internet. Rip dermot we all miss ur comedic charm
"It must be like watching an old black-and-white film." It wasn't that long ago, Graham.
Thank you for this oksmartybritches. Excellent :-)
As a south african who for the first time in my life saw father ted at the age of 54... and red dawrf at the age of 30... i thought father ted was way way beyond hilarious... same as faulty towers
.. to me there was one single problem. . Why end such good shows??
Because the main star died young basically...
My Da, a Man from Galway and a Catholic absolutely loved the series because it was so funny and in most cases, true. His Sister on the other hand, who was a serious Catholic hated it - mainly because of the paimful truths within it. It will firever run and run, even longer than Fawlty Towers even!
I'm sorry, your what? Da? What is Da? Da isn't a word. Do you mean DAD?
Also what's paimful and firever?
@@looksirdroids9134 da is a word for dad
@@jamie8037 This what happens when typing without reading glasses!
I found the non Irish person
Leave me alone ....Oi can have you killed !! This is a combination of brilliant writers and cast , a great combo of regular and one off and recurring characters . It is joint No 1 with Fawlty Tower s ( Flowery Twats ) as the funniest sitcom ever.
I love it and I was raised in a Catholic family
6:32. It made me cry back when I saw this in 2010, it still makes me cry...
funniest sitcom in history!
Still remember, "I'm Eoin McLove...I can have you killed.." HAAHAHA!!
Beautiful moments from Neil Hannon.
RIP Mary ❤️
The funniest sitcom I’ve seen.
Father Damo is awesome :D
I have never thought that the show was mocking Irish people. It is funny and the characters are endearing. It is about one imaginary place, one imaginary community. It is comedy !!!!!
There’s always time to watch Father Ted
I'm gonna have to look out my father ted boxset I got ages a ago now miss this show!
Which one do you prefer Oasis or Blooor?
Aw, wow, Graham Norton IS Father Noel in real life!
"I've had my fun... And that's all that matters!" ❤️
I'm glad to know EVERYONE involved with this show was FREAKING BONKERS !!~!
Pretending every thing is fine in front of the Priest definitely translated to other countries too… So true!!!
All nature is breathtaking.
Anyone who does not like Father Ted has no soul!
The Batman and no willy
Be quiet he can have you killed!
I still crease up every time someone says Father Dick Byrne
I love how he was saying that 12 13 year old were watching this and that was 10 years ago me being 13 and have watched it for years!
I went to see the house it's pretty surreal to be there.
Neil Hannon...what a star.
My Lovely Horse
divine comedy.
The Divine Comedy. They also composed the title music and the lead singer was Teds singing voice for "My Lovely Horse" ... just incase you were still wondering after posting the question a year ago :P
Wow... I wonder if Teresa Sheehan has ever actually SEEN a comedy?
I'm loving the theme song on piano
My favourite is farther Jack all ways makes laugh 😃 and Ted just a shame he past away
I'm Irish and a Catholic. I never found the program offensive, not in the slightest.
number 901, love from France xx
I've no willy lol
You were the best Maurice
It was brilliant,end off 😂🤣👍
haha, Oasis or Blur?
Down with this sort of thing.
best comedy ever,,, the irish arent snowflakes we can laugh at ourselves,,, not like some countries
that interview reminded me of the life of brian interview, with tose priests
Up with this sort of thing
Rangda Rangda Would that decrease attendance or ticket sales?
the divine comedy
I'm from dublin and as a kid living in the flats we always shouted up to the ma is dinner ready,later she call .your dinner is on the table we would shout back ill be up in a minute 😆😆😆😆😄😄😄😄😄 father Ted crilly is the name of our local priest 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎👌👌👌👌
I'm only joking, his name is mick crilly 😄😄😄😄😄😄🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
I would suggest you search out a show called 'dave:as yet untitled' Ardal O'Hanlon tells the story of how (b4 the show was on TV) he strolled up to a random house & asked for a bath because he was soaked to the skin. 'Of course father, not a problem father, would you like a cup of tea & a cake father'
He also shares a story of singing 'my lovely horse' on stage but that is a different episode of said show
John and Mary can't even stay in the same room for 2 seconds let alone 5 minutes with arguing. You be surprised if the got spilt up at the start.
I personally need to put Fawlty Towers first in my list of my favourite comedy shows , but it's a close call.
@WildPhotoShooter: I like Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin, Fawlty Towers, Father Ted and Only Fools and Horses -all classics.
Is that Ennistymon where they're talking at the end?
Father damo was hilarious haha
Is that stephen spielberg.
Check out Ben Folds' cover. I love to play it on my ukulele. :)
There’s no political shit in here, they wanted to make it timeless
Oh, I miss this era of comedy so much. Completely free of ridiculous political statements, yet could still parody society.
2:23 sooo very dublin
I think Teresa Sheehan just wanted attention.
Hi my name is Caitlyn and I got a UA-cam channel and it’s called CRG Caitlyn and I love watching your videos please make more videos 👍👍👍
The best sitcoms are Irish.
Fr Ted is on par with:
Only Fools And Horses, Rising Damp, Porridge, Falty Tower's.
@@bernicewade9796 *Cough* Mrs. Brown's Boys. What a load of garbage.
@@elemar5
Have no idea why you aimed that comment at me, but I do agree Mrs B is complete tripe.
Although, it became better when Rory Cowwn got the boot.
@@bernicewade9796 Sorry, my mistake.
EDIT utubes mistake.
Is it mad or is it funny? Yes.
Here’s ‘smartyness’ for ya .. ‘britches’ is spelled ‘breeches’ 😆
Where's Pat Mustard?
LOCKED up 😆😆😆
devine comedy.
Who are these people that just go around looking for things to be offended by?
Rip Graham
Oh dear that' horrible patronising Manchester woman
Pity the sound and picture are out of sync
