marketdoctor July 31, 2014 Share July 31, 2014 My personal favorite was the Christmas Episode--complete with the fake-out opening of the baby being dropped off at the wrong place, and Dougal's note about "Dear Ted, please get me lots and lots of matador stuff" in giant letters. 1 Link to comment
maplebrew October 1, 2014 Share October 1, 2014 I wonder if she actually prepares tea well. Link to comment
Meredith Quill October 2, 2014 Share October 2, 2014 I certainly would hope so, the irony would be too much otherwise! XD Link to comment
maplebrew October 9, 2014 Share October 9, 2014 More Mrs Doyle plots would have been good. Like when she had a crush on that frumpy playboy (the milkman? can't remember clearly). 2 Link to comment
Biosynth October 15, 2014 Share October 15, 2014 I love this show! My favorite apparently is the My Lovely Horse one, haha. "We have to lose the Sax solo!" 2 Link to comment
joelene October 16, 2014 Share October 16, 2014 I just watched My Lovely Horse yesterday! It's one of my favorites too. I love when Ted gets all flustered about the gay producer and rambles about Catholicism. And then I watched Tentacles of Doom. "That would be an ecumenical matter!" Speed III and Hell are other great ones. And the one on the airplane. And the beauty contest! All the rivalries between the priests are always great. 2 Link to comment
henrysmom October 20, 2014 Share October 20, 2014 I don't know if I have a favorite episode (I love them all) but I sure have a lot of favorite moments. Father Ted showing Bishop Brennan all the devices they've rigged up to make sure Father Jack won't go sleepwalking in the nude again. And his proud showing off of the chains.."he won't escape from these" with the muttered "not again". Bishop Brennan chasing down Father Ted with his cape flowing out past him like a vampire. Father Dougal looking through binoculars out the window and saying "the ants are back". Father Dougal's offer to play either chess or buckaroo with Father Ted...Ted gleefully picks out chess only to have Dougal say, no, I want buckaroo Ted trying to discuss something with Dougal as Dougal VERY SERIOUSLY play some sort of fishing game Ted and Dougal watching without comment as Father Jack crawls over to the fire to light a cigarette, lights his hair on fire, then returns back to his chair. 1 Link to comment
henrysmom October 20, 2014 Share October 20, 2014 (edited) I loved one Mrs. Doyle moment when she is cleaning the window in the living room and very carefully begins to climb down from the ledge, and promptly falls forward onto the floor. Oh, and when she has made a "few" sandwiches for guests, and the sandwich pile is enormous. Of course, she is afraid they will run out so she rushes off to make more.

Meredith Quill October 21, 2014 Share October 21, 2014 Father Ted et al trying to escape the lingerie section of the department store - classic hehe. Everything about the 'Golden Cleric' Award! 1 Link to comment
Driad October 26, 2014 Share October 26, 2014 Is it more likely that Mrs. Doyle is a widow, or that they are using the tradition of addressing an older housekeeper as Mrs. even if she has never married? Link to comment
joelene November 8, 2014 Share November 8, 2014 I had forgotten but I'm watching Night of the Nearly Dead and she mentions a husband! "It reminds me of that time when my husband... I've said to much," and she leaves the room. Heh. 2 Link to comment
phantom July 16, 2015 Share July 16, 2015 Copied from IMDB so I would get it right. My favorite Father Dougal from Tentacles of Doom. Bishop Facks: So, Father. Do you ever have any doubts about the religious life? Is your faith ever tested? Anything you would be worried about? Any doubts you've been having about any aspects of belief? Anything like that?Father Dougal: Well, you know the way God made us all, right? And he's looking down at us from heaven and everything?Bishop Facks: Uh-huh.[nods]Father Dougal: And then his son came down and saved everyone and all that?Bishop Facks: Yes.Father Dougal: And when we die we're all going to go to heaven?Bishop Facks: Yes. What about it?Father Dougal: Well, that's the bit I have trouble with. 1 Link to comment

Father Jack (RIP) wandering into an AA meeting thinking it was a pub The cave scene with them running out on the priest under rocks The lingerie store Yes, the entire golden cleric award The housekeeper falling from the windows The creepy fake/ex priest barging in on Fathers Ted & Dougal It's an ecumenical issue Wish I found this when it was first on! 1 Link to comment
darkestboy August 31, 2016 Share August 31, 2016 Mrs Doyle's rant over the female novelist's swearing in the books to Ted always cracks me up. "Bastard this! Bastard that! You can't move for the bastards in her novels. It's wall to wall bastards!" "Ride me sideways was another one!" 4 Link to comment
Driad June 29, 2017 Share June 29, 2017 Has anyone here gone to a Father Ted convention? They are held on an island off Ireland. Next one is in February 2018. http://www.tedfest.org/ Link to comment

Driad April 14, 2018 Share April 14, 2018 Ardal O'Hanlon (Father Dougal McGuire) is the new detective in "Death in Paradise." His episodes have not yet aired here, but we hope he does well. We suspect that Dougal's parents dropped him at the seminary as soon as he was old enough, because they feared he could not make a living otherwise. He might have done better as a monk than as a priest. 1 Link to comment
