I loved the whole program. Particularly Father Jack. Drink! Drink! Drink!

The whole of the "Father Ted" concept was so joyfully crazy.

It was so sad when Dermot Morgan died so unexpectedly and put an end to Father Ted.

Aw RIP Father Jack. Only Father Dougal and Mrs Doyle left -and she's mutated into nasty Nick's ex wife in Eastenders (I think)

What a wonderful show this was! - totally surrealist and off the wall. Sad that Father Ted died so young; and that old feck, arse drink has gone too.

Not forgetting "gairls". RIP

I thought of Father Jack a few days ago, when our 2 year old DGD ran into the back garden shouting BIRDS BIRDS BIRDS!!!!
Naturally, they all flew of in alarm.
I'll have a large whiskey please.smile

RIP Father Jack. You gave me plenty of laughs and more than a few shudders of disgust too which of course was the intention.
