Another Mrs Doyle special:

Mrs Doyle: They were a bit obsessed with the old…S-E-X. God I’m glad I never think of that type of thing Father. That whole sexual world. God, when you think of it it’s a dirty, filthy thing, isn’t it Father? Can you imagine Father? Can you imagine Father, looking up at your husband, and him standing over you with his lad in his hand, wanting you to degrade yourself? God almighty can you imagine that Father? Can you picture it there Father? Oh get a good mental picture of it. Can you see him there? Ready to do the business?
That is a classic speech, probably the longest one ever made by Mrs Doyle. What makes it even better is the look on Ted's face as he gets more and more uncomfortable, finally pushing the sausage on his plate aside.

Mrs. Doyle: There's always time for a nice cup of tea. Sure, didn't the Lord himself pause for a nice cup of tea before giving himself up for the world.
Fr Ted: No, he didn't, Mrs Doyle!
Mrs. Doyle: Well, whatever the equivalent they had for tea in those days, cake or something & speaking of cake, I have cake!
Fr Ted: No, thanks, Mrs. Doyle.
Mrs. Doyle: Are you sure, Father? There's cocaine in it!
Father Ted Crilly: WHAT?
Mrs. Doyle: Oh, no, not cocaine. God, what am I on about? No, what d'ya call them. Raisins.

There's one small exchange in particular that has been repeating itself in my mind for weeks now.

Eugene: Father, that sermon you did today..
(Ted looks all smug)
Eugene: ...frankly, it bored the arse off me!
Ted: Well Eugene, I'm not here to entertain you. If you want that type of thing, go and see Jean Michel Jarre or someone.
Eugene: What the hell was it about, anyway!?
Ted: Well, it was abo..
Eugene: Ugh. Jesus (quickly walks away)

I just love the thought that Eugene was so bored that he didn't even register or comprehend anything that Ted was talking about. Not to mention the actor's delivery is hysterical.

I love that really boring priest who has no idea he's boring the arse off everybody saying things like "Well, I have to say my favourite colour is grey, no.. grey, with a hint of orange"

Would love to see a special episode seeing what the characters are like now and how they are coping without Ted.

Oh no no no; in Craggy Island universe, life carries on as normal (or what passes for normal) for Ted, Dougal, Jack and Mrs Doyle...

So that would be an attempt to make more of a series while missing out 50% of the cast - one of whom is the titular character? We're not talking 'Taggart' here.

I love Father Ted. Its a brilliant show that as previous posters have said, it doesn't age.

I was out the back door the other having a fag and it was snowing, so I ended up quoting Fr. Ted when he is in the funeral home with Fr. Jack!

I really should give it another watch. I've seen the entire series on dvd once and bits and pieces of them on tv. I loved the episodes with Bishop Brennan and the rabbits and the sarcastic priest.
