Fantastic. a cult classic, 23 April 2004
Author: harrychapman from UK

'Father Ted' was without question Channel 4's finest ever creation. Hilariously funny in every way and had classic performances from Dermot Morgan as the estranged Father Ted and Ardal O'Hanlon as the childish Father Dougal. I also loved Mrs Doyle with her 'Go on Go on Go on'. The series also had some classic and memorable moments and was always laugh out loud and is without question a cult classic. Which made Dermot Morgan's the day after filming the final ever episode even more tragic. Dermot really made this show what it was. Funny, humourous and great to watch. His death brought the end to the life of a comic genius and one that will never be forgotten. 'Father Ted' was the greatest. It will live on.
