‘Are we all to be racist now Father Ted’? [edit] “what’s the Church’s official position on all this”? [edit] It is true that the Irish Roman Catholic clergy blessed the ‘Blue Shirts’ a fascist group as they set sail towards Spain under the Nazi flag to fight for Franco in the Spanish Civil War. They did the same when they blessed young men who went to fight with Mussolini and Hitler later on. There was only a few thousand that left to fight for the fascists but the Roman Catholic Church blessed them all and called for many more to do the same. Ireland was locked in a battle with the British Crown and thought the enemy of my enemy is my friend. They hadn’t thought it through, the mass graves, the genocide. They chose to be on the wrong side of history. The Vatican became embroiled in helping members of the SS and Gestapo escape after Germany lost the war. Remember that next time you’re genuflecting and kissing your cross.

One of the most iconic and quoted lines from the show, and deservedly so!

Lemmy from Motorhead was a collector of Nazi memorabilia and many people assumed he was an actual Nazi. He was very knowledgeable about WW2, especially stuff about tanks and planes. There was apparently a TV documentary that Lemmy watched one time where the filmmakers slightly misidentified a particular plane and Lemmy wrote to them about it. It turns out he was right.

You guys would love The IT Crowd. Its definitely your kind of humour (mine too). The episode called The Work Outing, where they go to a performance of a show called "Gay" because theyre trying to work out if a colleague is gay is one of the all time epics. My favourite episode of Father Ted is "Speed' - where someone plants a bomb on the village milkman's little motor cart because he's been knobbing all the village housewives. But the bomb is planted on the day Father Dougal volunteers to take over the milk round. The cart only goes 4mph or something but Dougal and Ted get trapped on it anyway.

Season 3 of Father Ted was always going to be the final season as the show producers had already announced this when going into production. Everyone involved wanted to move on and explore new opportunities. Even so, it was really sad to hear of the death of Dermot Morgan - who had been hosting a dinner party at his London home just the day after filming on S3 had ended. The final scene in the last episode was supposed to play out differently to the way it appears onscreen. The scene was deliberately changed in post-production as they felt the original ending felt tacky in light of Dermot's death. I won't spoil it, but you can find the details online of how that scene was supposed to end. In the Father Ted documentary "Small, Faw Away: The Worlds of Father Ted" is one of the most touching tributes, paid by Jim Norton (Bishop Brennon). He says he's not been able to watch his own final episode with Dermot because it feels to painful for him. That particular episode is still to come on your viewing schedule and it's an absolute corker! One last piece of trivia is that Frank Kelly (who played Father Jack) died on 28 Feb 2016, exactly 18 years to the day after Dermot.

My brother in law, Norman , was a big marathon runner (London, New York, L A, The Great North Run, Iron man challenges he was into all of it. A postie he even used to run his post round with a 40lb sack of mail). Unfortunately he had a stroke. This limited his vocabulary considerably, to the point of, Aye like, Nar, Fucknhell man, (Geordie). With half a dozen words he could express just about anything and inside he was still in there. R I P Norman Martin, who raised thousands and thousands for all sorts of charities. There used to be a large, massively oversize whiskey bottle on the bar in his local pub. The sign stuck to it read, donations for Norman to go to L A to run the marathon on behalf of........ everybody used to put their change in it. BTW this was a Geordie living in Scotland (Kilmarnock), Jocks and Geordies normally bitter rivals. Did my heart proud to see a Geordie respected in this way by his "enemies".

Graham Linehan is a genius.

This was always going to be the final series, regardless of Dermot's death. When you get to the last episode, it's plain to see he does not look well. He died of a heart attack the very next day.

I used to watch Father Ted with my old Dad and our favourite episode was this one. He had memories of watching Hitler make speeches and he always used to say that Crilley mimicked Hitlers gestures so well. Very fond memories of watching these shows. The other show we watched together is an old sitcom from the U.K. called “The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin”, it’s quite dated now but still has some very funny pieces in it. I remember watching it with my Dad in the 70’s and he always used to laugh when Reggie imagined a hippopotamus running every time his wife spoke about her mother…my father wasn’t too keen on my Mums Mum, my Grandmother.

I used to chat with Dermot quite a bit. I'm French but lived for many years in Ireland. We got to chat for I was putting back in his place an idiot thinking it normal to ask a group of teenagers if they were Nazis,just for they were Germans. I asked him if he thought the people in this pub should be arrested and put into jail without trial, after all they were Irish and Catholics. That idiot was an Englishman and so I was referring to the law of England that was still in place on matters of the Irish and the Catholics. Dermot who was watching the exchange and knew I was French made a comment to the likes of it was nice to see some at least had grown to put the war behind them. I didn't know who he was at the time, and we started to chat and play on words a lot (and that went on for months, whenever we would both be there at the same time). That night he told me, he was grateful I had defended these German children although not much older than them. Someone much later told me that his own children were half German, and he had probably seen what was awaiting them.. Anyway, a year later, one of his fellow actors in the show told me to watch out for the upcoming series, for there would be an episode I would enjoy and feel special. And that's the one. He was spot on, many people are easily accused of being racists, simply for they are playing on stereotypes for a joke, not seeing any racism or offence in it, whereas others who are genuinely racists get away with it by picking on people it was pushed upon us, it was alright to hate and insult ad vitam aeternam. It is only for we have been fed the idea that Germans were solely responsible for the war and they were all Nazis that we can see a black rectangle on a window and think "if he comes any closer, it will be a Hitler lookalike". To ignore the even greater number of murders at the hands of Stalin or Mao for exemple, shows how we have been pushed into finding racism ok if it is against Germans. Leading to that plot here: we don't notice the blatant racism against Germans with that perfectly angular black shape on the window and yet we see racism in the Chinese impersonation, the sole purpose of which was to play on word with the line "lighten up, Doughal" (cheer up, for people who do not know the saying in their part of the world). And for we then use an innocent joke or comment as proof of racism from someone who is meant to lead us on the right path (sorry, no pun intended), some actually racist people now allow themselves to dive in fully into their own discrimination; be it against a different group of people or not. As to his death, that was rather tragic. He had been diagnosed as having high blood pressure (reason why he had come to the pub I was in, so that people used to see him would not start asking him why he was avoiding drinking now). He was very tired after the recording of the series and when he did not feel well at the dinner table at his home, he wondered if he was having a heart attack but walked to his bedroom with his sister to discuss this instead of staying put and having someone call the emergency service for him. Supposedly for his symptoms were not the typical ones his sister knew as signs for a heart attack in the making. When she told him that mustn't be one, they walked back into the dining room and still did not call for help. He had the heart attack a few minutes later and could not be saved. If you ever feel symptoms likely to be or simply that might be linked to an upcoming heart attack, please sit down, keep your legs horizontal, your head supported by something comfortable, in a sitting position, and not putting more pressure on your heart or your liver by laying down towards one side or the other. Have the windows opened wide, and some water handy. Never make things worst by walking or laying down.

Actually a working farm. You always see visitors posing outside the gate for their photo. All exterior shots and scenes were filmed in the West of Ireland, mostly Co. Clare and all interior scenes were filmed in a London studio over in England. The funniest TV Series ever….along with Fawlty Towers. Thanks for this.

I just recently re-watched The Wire and the line you mention about the Greeks was spoken by Bunk Moreland, who is probably the funniest character on the show. Best TV show EVER by the way, can't believe you're putting off watching it! Father Ted was one of my faves as a kid growing up in England and this particular episode was one of the best - I still use the line "I hear you're a racist now Father" even today!

I think the Greeks invented gayness is a homage to Fawlty towers episode Gourmet night when Basil says "I should never have hired a French chef" Polly: "He's Greek" Basil: "Well that's even worse, they invented it".

Father Ted aficionados will notice that the opening scene "will you take the 11 o'clock mass?.." is a direct copy of the opening scene in Season 1 episode 1, but the response he gets is far more favourable.

I miss these types of comedies. Father Ted was pure genius. 😂😂😂😂

Best episode! The setup with the dirt square is just brilliant 😂

Just the best set up ever with the “perfectly square bit of dirt” just sitting there from the beginning. Please watch Derry Girls

A lot of people on KZread react to an amalgamated clip from this episode, which goes straight from the scene of Ted doing the Chinese impression to him meeting the farmer and the old woman, and skips the whole part about priests' socks, etc. This clip makes the reactors think that the rumour about him being a racist travels round the island in literally a couple of seconds, whereas it actually takes a bit longer in the episode!

Omg ,just came across your reaction for father Ted ! In my opinion, this is one of the funniest shows ever made . Just love it !

Dermot, RIP died from a heart attack.

I’m so happy 😁😁 been waiting for this one!!

I've seen every episode of this 40, 50 or more times and it never gets old but this is a particular stand out episode along with the milk man one.

Only one day after filming the final episode, Dermot Morgan had a heart attack and passed away. It was going to be the final episode anyway. This season is the best in my opinion. You are both in for a serious amount of laughter. The show ended on a high.

I'm Irish and adore Father Ted, Did you know that the House that features in the series exists, and many folk have gone there for Tea, as it is open to the public. The area around it is called the Burren ,a really special to walk and enjoy. If you guys ever come to Ireland make the journey to the Home of Ted you will not be dissapointed

I heard it was a house outside Dublin and the studio scenes are all filmed in limehouse in East London.

@@GG-jw8pt Now you know it's adjacent to the Burren National Park Please go visit both and experience that which will become ingrained in memory for your lifetime

One of the more subtle jokes in this episode, is Dogles the most absent minded person in the series, knows more about whats going on, on the island

You guys are TOO GOOD at guessing what happens next😂

I went on holiday to Ireland most summers to see my family. One year i told my sisterthat i wanted to see The Burren in Co Clare. On the way to Co Clare we drove past father Teds house!! We got of of the car and had photos. When we got back to my sisters and told her husband he shouted a lot and told us we were feckers for going without him. We laughed so much. But the follow year all his children and grandchildren took him for snfternoon tea and they had a blast. I think we were firgiven cos when they took him they were able to go inside

Great reaction guys, thank you both, you easily draw us, the viewers, in, you were great company, love from Ireland

It was supposed to be the final season. Morgan's passing was not the reason there wasn't a 4th season.

Mrs Carberry...............one of the best mini roles ever!

Back when we ALL had a sense of humor, I really feel sorry for the youth of today.

Yep, just look at what's happened to the creator. Being branded transphobic for highlighting obvious issues with certain trans activist positions and beliefs (e.g. that biological men should be allowed to compete against biological women in competitive sport).

All those Greeks with their statues of naked men and their strongly held belief that a man could not love a woman until another, older, more experienced, man showed him how to love a woman.

That rant by the crazy old lady is totally epic! And then switches to normal speech. And that Hitler rant. OMG, brilliant!

I was in the supermarket buying some fruit for my mother in law who I was on my way to visit..sadly she had terminal cancer and was in the hospital across the street.. a great character and she LOVED Father Ted. Who was rummaging in the fruit beside me when I looked up only Dermot Morgan... Now I would never never normally bother a celebrity in public etc... but I instantly thought of my mother in law... apologized to Dermot for bothering him but asked would he mind scribbling a few words to her.. He was very gracious about it. Neither of us had a piece of paper so we tore some wrapping paper off one of the fruit boxes and he wrote her a nice message on that... She was delighted when I gave it to her and laughed at how and where I had run into Dermot...and how embarrassed I said I was at having bothered him doing his grocery shopping. 😂

I believe Dermot died of a heart attack the day after the final shoot of the series 🫤
