Are you suggesting that My Lovely Horse was dismal!
No, just a song to ensure you won't win.

I love how Ted then appears to spend ages drawing out a big complicated diagram only for the screen to pan out saying the words "We put the brick on the accelerator".
Love that bit

Don't forget watching 'The Poseidon Adventure' purely because there's a priest in it who saves the day.
Yes, because at times of absolutely urgent critical imminent danger you would always get out yer' DVD of The Poseidon Adventure and watch it in full before leaping into action

In case you didn't know, My Lovely Horse was written and sung by Neil Hannon of the wonderful The Divine Comedy ... who also wrote the theme tune which was then re-recorded as:

I did actually know that, I remember being in an Irish pub in Lyon and wondering why the hell I recognised the tune playing, it was that.

Apparently it was based on this video for Ireland's 1975 Eurovision entry:

On the Eurovision one.... when Ted and Dougal are on stage there is a run list of the songs and 'contestants on the side .... One of them is blatantly anti English.... always makes me laugh.

Dougal being in awe of Father Damo - playing football, chewing gum, answering back to the senior priests and having his ear pierced.

Love the bit when Dougal walks in and is scared to reveal his pierced ear and Ted says "Dougal, why are you walking like a crab?"

Oh God! He must have seen his reflection! He's not supposed to see his reflection! He doesn't know he's a priest!
The actor who played the pilot in that episode died recently. Only 57 years old

I love the whole thing; it is all-consumingly hilarious.

What gets me in torrents of laughs is when Dougal is stuck driving the milkfloat, and suddenly you see a fully equipped altar and cohort of priests pulling up alongside, doing mass
... and then afterwards when they're having a crisis meeting: "Is there anything to be said for having another mass?"
