Dermot Morgan (Father Ted) In The Early Days

[benytezz]

i think his policy of taking down Inter Continental missiles with losers is a brilliant idea. win win. Splat

[HEV29]

I bet that's real beer/Guinness x

[jaddajn1]

i'd say dermot's sharp wit and courage in uttering uncomfortable home truths made him many enemies. just sayin

[Cockel100]

Dermot morgan was ahead of he's time. No irish comidian has anything over him. RIP comic legend!

[urtube2k9]

R.I.P Dermot

[Seamus549]

rte are idiots missed out on the opportunity of the best comedy in several decades an there's bout three or four english actors an the rest are irish an all had to go to the bbc to get recognised as great and talented actors/actresses

[hijabi2010]

@Seamus549 actually yesterday i asked graham linehan that on an online chat for IT crowd and he said that father ted was always written for channel 4

[DjTommyKx]

RIP MATE still thinking of ya to this day god the box set of father ted CLASSIC

[TheodorBjork]

What is the punch line? "I was stoned"...? LOL

[hulliscorrupt]

He was indeed an incredible talent, but seeing this he was prone towards Irish generalisations, to be sure.

[LifestreamWarrior]

RIP you total legend.

[kiwifruityyum]

@Gangstathug4life4eva well done. . .

[facup88]

RIP Dermot.

Thanks for the laughter. !!

[despoolkop]

mrD RIP:(

[Gangstathug4life4eva]

I'm half Greek and half Jewish, so, because of my background, I was born with a very prominent, long nose that was too big for my small face.

[adminelf]

What a waste. He was somethin else.

[TheCobraUK]

He always reminds me of the singer from the Saw Doctors...and I love both of them!

[lazerweb]

is that Michael Murphy also at the bar?

[MrSparky1913]

Mike Murphy indeed. Enjoying his retirement in Florida now

[cinemascotland]

Dermot Morgan, there just isn't any better. A real legend.

[neilpdoherty]

The barman is Fran Dempsey.Forty coats and fifty pockets...

[PeterFirthFan]

I think it was heavy smoking that caused his death.

[mizlightbulb1234]

he didn't smoke you idiot

[Brogan001WAW]

@mizlightbulb1234 dermot was actually really really uncomfortable during the scenes in father ted when he had to smoke! i feel sorry for him, i hate smoking!

rip dermot

[MrNnpivo]

@Brogan001WAW i love smoking!!!!!!!!!! it's great you should try it sometimes..

[Elevationary]

who ever said that dermot morgan was not a talented man,needs to be shot,he had nothing got to do with drugs....ffs,he was not liked that much in the early days, because he was the first to attack the church in Ireland,which is probably why he was not popular in the beginning,remember the church controlled everything.........including RTE

[amigu]

The money was just resting in his account !!!

[santajimi]

@amigu It was resting for a long time. A good long rest. :)

[paddytheloaf]

Take a look at the bartender at the end...Is that Colin Quinn??

[paddymul221]

dermot morgan RIP great in everything he did and mike murphy was a funny man too

[KeaneshapedTardis]

great head of hair- always thought that on Father Ted :) aw, RIP

[jimrobertsid]

well you heard wrong, it was a heart attack

[BurnoMachine]

he didnt die cus of da booze ffs ur not even irish....he had a heart attack

[tailura]

tragedy is that while Dermot Morgan spent years drawing dole that talentless unfunny prick Mike Murphy made millions .

[egerhardcore]

That is why he died.The booze.

[Aviva2121]

Such a tragedy to die young. He was a talented man, attractive, so succesful with 'Father Ted'. A terrible loss.

[Cool2BCeltic]

@Aviva2121 Yes, talented and a great guy.

[3ofClovers]

He plays drinky lovely :)

[maryade]

Oh look - and it's Fran Dempsey as the barman! (he was Fortycoats in Wanderly Wagon and Fortycoats & Co)

[xxalisonleaxx]

ah dermot morgan r.i.p ah go on ye legend lol xx

[RestiveBob]

The greats all start somewhere. Susan Sarandon began making commercials for American Airlines. Dustin Hoffman made commercials for Volkswagen. Brad Pitt dressed up like a giant chicken for a fry cookery.

Everybody starts somewhere.

[cruzejobbers]

If you like this then you should check out "Hardy Bucks".

Its the funniest thing out of Ireland since father Ted!

[MafiaVirusAlias]

this is so like irish pubs and old irish men talking lol (im irish btw, work in a pub in dublin)

[tashpish]

[PassWorId]

Mike Murphy is on the left!

[jjtreanor2006]

[00hurdf]

Wow! Thanks for posting this.

[Th1sWasATriumph]

Holy christ. It's Nick Hancock!

It's been ten goddamn years since he left. Not cool.

[truantbuick]

Where is Nick Hancock? He can't be the guy on the left can he?

[Larmour]

Oh my God, HE LOOKS AND SOUNDS SO DIFFERENT!

[smellybridges]

sign of a good actor!

[haynar153]

Thanks Passworld! I'm the biggest Father Ted fan, I have all the episodes on DVD, and no matter how many times I watch them I still laugh like I'm watching for the first time. Do you by any chance have more Dermot Morgan (NOT father ted stuff)to post? Like live mike. If so, I would love to see more stuff like this on. Unfortunately, we don't have access to this kind of stuff in the US!!

Thanks again!

[bohsmb78]

ive nothng to post but i know he appears on reelin in the years (1980 or 81) as father trendy on the late late show,

[theembattledhoops]

[madmomentsgo]
