By the way, it is from the 90's British TV show Father Ted.


I am a big fan of British TV, but I had always thought this show must be some trivial, religious comedy for old people that would get played on PBS on Sunday nights.

But, thanks to YouTube, I got to see it over the last few weeks and it was actually a funny show (co-written by the guy who later wrote the very funny - to me - I.T. Crowd, Graham Linehan).

An eerie and sad ending to this series...the person who played Father Ted (the grey haired guy in this video), Dermot Morgan, died of a heart attack the day after the final episode was taped.

The series writers intended it to end with that episode - it was not canceled because it's star died - so it's almost like when this funny show died, it's talented star died with it.

Glad to see you have learned from the error of your ways. Father Ted was a brilliant comedy. Shame Dermot Morgan died so soon after its making but I wonder whether he would have found anything as successful after this.
 
FECK! FECKIN! FECK!

Love this show. The show where they were caught in the lingerie department is a classic.
