Absolute comedy legend! Rest in eternal peace!

The show never gets old and in all our eyes neither will Dermot. May he rest in peace and let’s hope the Almighty has a sense of humour!

One Saturday morning myself and my sister were on the bus home from Dublin. We were sitting either side of the aisle with one earphone each listening to Scrap Saturday on my Walkman (the iPod of its day, for you young’uns!) and unable to contain our laughter. Another passenger asked us what was so funny and I told them Scrap Saturday, Radio 1. He then went up to the bus driver to ask to put the radio on, which the driver did and for part of the journey we all laughed ourselves silly.

Thanks Dermot Morgan. You may be gone, but as is obvious from this thread, you’ll never be forgotten.

Drink, feck, arse, girls!

I don’t think any other tv show has had quite the same impact on a generation. The quotes alone are used in every day conversation all the time!

That would be an ecumenical matter!! Legend of a man.

It’s fabulous being a priest – think of all that comfort you bring to the sick and dying. They love it, they can’t get enough of it!

My Father Ted marathon day is about to begin on netflix, i promise i wont cry ;-( The legend that is Dermot Morgan RIP

What was it Dougal? Collect 10 crisp packets and become a priest?

Will be a tall order to find anything as good in the future!

A Song for Europe. in my opinion one of the greatest episodes of tv ever. the one liners were just genius.

I’ve turned some of my ozzy mates on to fr Ted they can’t get enough , absolute legend .

Missed very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very much !

Don’t forget his brilliant stand up – He would have had a ball with the Tribunals, Celtic tiger, final demise of Haughey and his Fianna Fáil inheritors, the RC Church scandals – and given his German connections his take on Merkal and Co would have been gold – hope you’re Scrapping the Afterlife out there somewhere Dermot and thanks for the laughs :-)

Dont forgot the bertie impression!

Yes, it’s the lack of a printing press that lets us down there. Or bingo balls. Or a PA system. Or in fact, any bingo paraphernalia at all.

The money was resting in my account!

No Dougal we’re not fascists, fascists dress in black and tell people what to do whereas priests…….!!! Legend of a show

Small…far away.

I bet we get 4 million points and you get minus 4000. cracker.

you have used two inches of tape…….. “oh feck off”. a legend lives forever

Emer (or anybody), Dermot did an amazing and funny skit/song on the Late Late in the years just before his passing. It was called ‘Big Ben’. I would give anything to see that again because it was utterly side-splitting! There….a challenge has been set (cos couldn’t find it anywhere!).

He could have been pope !

PLEASE STAND FOR YOUR NATIONAL ANTHEM!!

RIP Dermot.

Ted Ted Ted come eh to me Ted….

I remember walking into the living room and hearing that he had died. The whole house was heart broken. He is sorely missed.

Careful now

Every time I feel a bit pi****ed for whatever reason, I revert back to my Father Ted box set. R.I.P. Dermot

I remember watching Arthur Matthews as Father Ted back in the day. Sounded more like Dougal at the time, but still as funny as hell. RIP Dermot, sadly missed.

Father Ted, one of the all time greats – perhaps the greatest..
Best wishes to all of his family at this time. He is sorely missed.

RIP Dermot Morgan, a talent unequalled,

Careful now…..

Fiona Looney in number 6. I used to hang out with her in the early 80′s.
