I love it so much I have just bought the boxset for a 2nd time.
I bought the first boxset about 7 years ago, and the cardboard box is a bit damaged, and a couple of the disks are scratched from lending it to friends and family.
The new boxset I've just bought is a different box set to the last one: 'the definitve collection' with a cartoon drawing on the front... it also as some extras that the other boxset didn't have.

I can't believe there are people who actually compare this pure genius to that American crap! Friends only makes viewers laugh when the laugh track tells them to - there is very little inherently funny in it. Father Ted has so many things going on, both visually and aurally, all making us laugh, that it is, as I said, pure genius...DRINK!
@TheRingoDave you can't bitch about friends, that show was great! bitch about another american programme which is actually crap like how i met your mother!
@SuppaSteve0110 ha ha! you fail in every way possible, I don't know why but you just do! feel free to comment in a blaze of anger because I couldn't give a donkey's arse you fat bitchy cuntbag titface balloony monkey boy crusty sock licking nice person!
look at these brits, they claim what they can when its a winner, even murray when he was no good he was scottish, and when hes wins hes british, english people are hated world wide for such good reasons such a hateful bunch of wankers
Grow the fuck up. Anytime anyone attempts to generalize an entire country you can write them off as not worth listening to because odds are good on them being, like you, a fucking moron.
well you listened in a visual format i.e. you read what i said and replied to it, so its worth listening to in that sense clearly, and kris kris and kris, growing up involved not needing words like fuck, fucking and moron, or are you still a little child
Sorry buddy, not going to restrict my vocabulary and pretend to dance around emotions just because you hold the puritanical view that swearing is a sign of immaturity.
Your tarring of everybody with the same brush makes you a fucking moron. Hell why don't I generalise from you and say apparently all Irish people are bitter bastards... oh I know why, because it would be a stupid fucking thing to say, that's why. You want the sign of a child, look at your critical thinking, not my language.
Sure, attacking you because you're a hateful son of a bitch proves your point, right.
As for your "claiming" point - Father Ted is a fantastic Irish comedy starring some great Irish actors and I'd rather enjoy one of the best comedies of the 90s that engage in some stupid nationalist dick-waving contest.
youtube comments do not require grammar and or spelling aslong as the point is put across and its not the issue in relation to caps lock as the reason it was brought up is that caps lock is seen as shouting in text form, which is what i found amusing, not in relation to using cap letters in the wrong places, and it wasnt meantiond enough to be called lecturing, but as you said "i wouldn't be lecturing...", well just make sure you don't then,
Well thats a question you should be asking yourself, perhaps it was when you were wrong regarding when you compared my talk on caps lock in relation to grammar when it wasnt that made you question your actions, blame it on the age gap, a lack of understand, being out of touch, atleast you have learned lessons for the future

"It's you who wants to airbrush out the UK half of its origins out."
Actually i am not " airbrushing " anything. I agree with you that its half UK "i see your point man" but am just sayen no one cares about Production companies or Studios or anything like that. Its the IRISH actors that made it funny such as Dermott morgan,Ardal o hanlon,Pauline McLynn,Frank kelly and many other IRISH actors such as Graham norton,Brendan Grace and Tommy Tiernan.But Hat trick did a great job on the show=)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
That's not true Lee, my position has always been that this programme, and its key contributions, originate from both the UK and Ireland. It's you who wants to airbrush out the UK half of its origins out.
If if wasn't for the UK producers, and the largely UK technical staff they employed, this show may not have been made, or may not have ended up being as good as it did if it was made, Lee. You can't just airbrush the contributions of these individuals out of history because they don't fit in with what you want to believe. If you're proud of the Irish writers and principle cast members why not settle for that?
The production company, Hat Trick, is a UK company and all the sets were manufactured in London by English people, in London TV studios, where all indoor shots were filmed, Lee. After filming each indoor scene, shot by English cameramen, the cast ate food made by an English catering company and retired to an English hotel or rented accommodation. I fully concede this is a partly Irish production, but don't delude yourself that it was wholly Irish. Apparently a Welsh lady cleaned the sets.
Just because the 2 Writers and all the actors were irish is irrelevant the indoor set was in london. It was english carpenter that made the set too. Cleaning lady was welsh.
Written by Dermot Morgan (Irish comedian) he tried to have Fr. Ted broadcast on Irish TV (RTÉ) but was not aloud because the Catholic church didn't want this type of image portrayed about them. Dermot had to approach Channel 4 in England, who LOVED the script.RTÉ then bought rights to show it on their stations. The main characters are Irish, supporting characters are Irish. Filmed on Inishmore (Inis Mór).
It is an Irish production, full Irish cast, Irish storyline, filmed in Ireland.
@yuame You're clearly a moron who is incapable of advancing the debate in any way. Please THINK, take a position and then clearly communicate that position before making a fool of yourself as you have done here.
@yuame I think it is you who needs to try thinking for a change, my dimwitted chum. Try, by means of thinking, to ascertain exactly what it is that's making you angry and then, now this is the clever bit, try articulating a coherent argument. Your childish tantrums only serve to highlight the fact that you have no coherent arguments, or at least aren't consciously aware of them. :-)
@alexistarr jesus christ man ....... your about as smart as a door handle ..... seriously like ..... it was written by a irish man making it a irish comedy, you don't see the actors acting in a play written by another person claming that it was as much there play as it was the writers?? no ..... your ego has got the better of you and yes I a Irish man have just verbial owned you , using your own lanuage .... by the way , I do not deny that the UK had no hand to play though it was only funding.
@SuppaSteve0110 It was largely filmed in a London studio, using a UK crew, hired by UK production company Hat Trick, making it a UK production. The writers had to come to England because the Irish production companies they pitched the idea to said no. Just because Hat Trick hired Irish script writers and actors, and set the story on a fictional Irish Island, that doesn't make this an Irish production. "...I a[n] Irish man have just verbal[ly] owned you...." is barely my "own lanuage(sic)". :-)
@alexistarr .... first, I'm dyslexic, incase you don't know that covers gramer errors, secondly by such logic a play wrote by shakespear would become a "irish play" when done here or amercian if done in america and so on, however it does not, hence I find it hard to believe that your arrogance has blinded you to such facts and made you make nothing but a fool of youself, I suggest that you leave things be, as all save you know this fact , and you will only make a mockery of yourself to the world
@SuppaSteve0110 Your hypothetical performances of Shakespeare would be Irish or American, as opposed to English, productions. There are no Irish TV productions of Father Ted, as no Irish production companies wanted to touch it, so we're stuck with the English production, the one we're discussing here.
@Stranglepuff i hvnt made a comment on this vid in a month yet you find it upon yourself to call me a edjit about something that had ended a month ago, the edjit is you, only you and only ever will be you. you sad lifeless man

If it weren't for the British contribution, Father Ted might never have been made. I say this as an Irishman.
Ireland at this time was still in thrall to the Catholic Church and many people considered this programme to be blasphemous.
In fact, I was in my brother's pub when the news came out that Dermot Morgan had died.
One stupid old bitch actually said that it was God's punishment on him for playing the part of Father Ted.

Try, by means of thinking, to ascertain exactly what it is that's making you angry and then, now this is the clever bit, try articulating a coherent argument. Your childish tantrums only serve to highlight the fact that you have no coherent arguments, or at least aren't consciously aware of them. :-)

@alexistarr jesus christ man ....... your about as smart as a door handle ..... seriously like ..... it was written by a irish man making it a irish comedy, you don't see the actors acting in a play written by another person claming that it was as much there play as it was the writers?? no ..... your ego has got the better of you and yes I a Irish man have just verbial owned you , using your own lanuage .... by the way , I do not deny that the UK had no hand to play though it was only funding.

@SuppaSteve0110 It was largely filmed in a London studio, using a UK crew, hired by UK production company Hat Trick, making it a UK production. The writers had to come to England because the Irish production companies they pitched the idea to said no. Just because Hat Trick hired Irish script writers and actors, and set the story on a fictional Irish Island, that doesn't make this an Irish production. "...I a[n] Irish man have just verbal[ly] owned you...." is barely my "own lanuage(sic)". :-)

@alexistarr .... first, I'm dyslexic, incase you don't know that covers gramer errors, secondly by such logic a play wrote by shakespear would become a "irish play" when done here or amercian if done in america and so on, however it does not, hence I find it hard to believe that your arrogance has blinded you to such facts and made you make nothing but a fool of youself, I suggest that you leave things be, as all save you know this fact , and you will only make a mockery of yourself to the world

@SuppaSteve0110 Your hypothetical performances of Shakespeare would be Irish or American, as opposed to English, productions. There are no Irish TV productions of Father Ted, as no Irish production companies wanted to touch it, so we're stuck with the English production, the one we're discussing here.
