Dougal: Forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever...
This is so sad, looking back at the episodeS in the three series and then with the knowledge that Dermot Morgan has died. And then the last bit of Father Ted ever is one final shot of the Craggy Island Parochial House and Ted and Dougal's voices are heard one last time before the light in the house is turned off and the series ends. Fantastic show, fantastic acting and fantastic tribute to the show by adding this one minute clip at the end of the last series!!! GREAT SHOW!!
To this day, and i know himself would hate this, but i can't help but think of Dermot and not think Ted. His passing in a way saved him from having to escape the character he helped create, like in the 'mainland' episode where Richard Wilson can't escape 'i don't beeelieve it'. I truely believe Ted would've haunted him even till now. A tragic loss still though and this final clip always gives me the blues.
@BFMachine In a way you could say the same thing about Ardal O'Hanlon and Pauline Mclynn. They haven't escaped the characters of Dougal and Mrs Doyle. Graham Norton has gone on to become very successful but he always remembers fr ted gave him his break, which is nice to hear, likewise frank kelly has expanded his repertoire and jim norton aka Len won a tony award in recent years. How would things have worked out with Dermot? Sadly we'll never know. R.I.P Dermot
@redback3 Yes, it was going to be a sad ending. It was going to end with Father Kevin back on the ledge, getting ready, again, to commit suicide. Ted appears again, but instead of trying to talk Kevin out of it, he goes and joins Kevin on the ledge, and it was going to end with both of them about to jump.
Even if Dermot Morgan had not died, the writers later admitted that the sad ending wouldn't have worked anyway.
@IrishChamp180 look it up. Unless it's one of those wikipedia conspiracies, it's 100% true. Look up the episode (Going to America) and see what you think.
In a way, it was the perfect ending. When Dougal delivers that final line about Ted being doomed to remain on Craggy Island "for ever and ever and ever...", it's got such weight because of the death of Dermot Morgan. You know it really is the very end. That Ted will never escape, because it's no longer possible to go beyond that moment. It's so poigniant to end something so funny with such sadness of real life circumstances. It's just a shame that this perfect ending came about because of that.
The odd this was he really wanted to be a serious actor, as in serious films. I don't think anyone would have done a better job as Father Ted. Legendary.
yeah the lord works in mysterious ways THE BIG BASTARD !!! BUT SMOKING 40 FAGS A DAY DOESNT HELP FOLKS DOUGAL HAS WENT ON FROM STRENGHT TO STRENGHT SHAME NO MORE F TED EXCEPT ON YOU TUBE FECK FECK FECK FECK !!!!!
@paulewing81 understand what you say.. but he was human and humans have addictions... smoking is NOT illegal. and if was not smoking that ended his life then it would be something else.. healthy people die as well.. no cure for death... take care... God bless Dermot.. RIP.
I've heard that the original final scene was to be Ted and Kevin (the suicidal preist) both jumping of a ledge and commiting suicide. This was dropped because
a)Morgan's real-life death after the final day of filming
b)It just wasn't funny
c)A memorial of clips would be a beter tribute to him
Dermot Morgan was a legend,such a tragedy that his life ended, he will always be an icon for comedy in my opinion My Favourite Episode of all time was When they accused him of being a Racist that was stomach achingly funny and just as funny when he kicked Bishop Brennan up the arse.
It's so sad that God had to take such a brilliant man away. Dermot Morgan will never be replaced as an actor and he is one of my favourite comedians ever. Scrap Saturday was priceless! ***
father ted is and always will be my favourite tv show ever... as a chlid it was great, as an adult it is even better. I almost cry when i see this at the last episode *sadface*
honestly dougal + ted were just the best characters ever. and the scriptwriting hasnt been seen since. RIP
isn't life so cruel to have taken this man at such an early age...I'm sure it would still be on tv now I always watch the repeats and even though i no whats going to happen...i still laugh!! god bless Father ted.
The offical endding was gonna be that after Ted heared that he couldn't go to US that he would join that guy at the start and end up killing himself, but they changed It, and thank god they did :) - Best Show Ever!
Dermot was a genius. His timing and delivery were incredible, and I'd find it hard to believe if he wasn't a wonderful guy in real life too. If he's anywhere right now, I hope he's happy
I hate watching this episode. I love Father Ted and all but it makes me sad to know that Dermot died less than 24 hours after this ep was filmed. Still one of my favourite TV shows of all time though.
so sad hearin this, cos you know he died not long after :( the show was so unique and original, far better than crap like ricky gervais etc. r. i. p. dermot.
I wish Dermot Morgan knew how popular Father Ted still is. He was, by far, my favourite character, as well as a childhood hero of mine. A lovely dry British/Irish sense of humour. I was around 8 when the show first aired, and it influenced me a lot, belive me! I still watch it atleast every week :)
that's b.s dermott said before tmaking the third series that it was the last series as he didnt want to be father ted anymore in fear of being typecast
Dermot's death has nothing to do with the change of the ending. The original ending (where Ted joins another character in a joint suicide) was thought not funny once it was filmed, and they were always going to replace it with the montage.
even if he hadn't passed away, this was set to be the last one. it would have been hard to come up with many more ideas for random and hilarious episodes anyway lol.
This was such a beautiful montage to finish the final episode. Having to change the ending because of Dermott's death must have been really hard for all involved but they could not have come up with a more heartfelt tribute to him. Feck I loved this show. RIP Dermott.
Love you Ted
