RIP - Frank Kelly (Father Jack - Drink! Girls! ****!)

Most famous to us as Father Jack.
We were watching a couple of Father Ted episodes last night. Still very, very funny and possibly on a par with Fawlty Towers in its timeless comedy.

Feck, that's sad.

Brilliant comedy and massively re-watchable. The double episode with the priests over 75 five a side football match and 'Kicking Bishop Brennan up the ar$e' still has me in stiches

I like the ones with Graham Norton in. Just thinking about the caravan sketch with the dancing and the "This cow is small, that cow is far away" does it for me.

Oh, and Father Jack...remember the bit where they ship him off to some house for hairy priests and then have to rescue him??

Going to have to get the Father Ted box set out.

Some truly great moments.

The episode with Chris the Sheep has me in stitches at the end, when Father Ted does a Poirot type reveal as to who the culprits were. At every revelation you can here someone in the background cry out 'f***ing hell!'. Brilliant.
or
The escape from the womens' lingerie department.
or
in fact they are all brilliant.

My lovely horse, running through the field
Where are you going, with your fetlocks blowing in the wind?

I want to shower you with sugar lumps, and ride you over fences
Polish your hooves every single day, and bring you to the horse dentist

My lovely horse, you're a pony no more
Running around with a man on your back, like a train in the night...

Yes, I loved that too.

The "Speed" take-off is one of my favourites.*


But Father Jack/Frank Kelly. RIP and well done mate on a lasting legacy. (*Brick!)

"Feck off cup!"

The episode where Ted is trying to prove he's not a racist is a good 'un.
"Priests aren't fascists. Fascists dress up in black and tell people what to do. Whereas priests - oh, hang on..."
