Indeed an absolutely huge loss of such a great comic talent like Dermot Morgan RIP. Pitty that RTE never really learned to appreciate him as a talent. (Goodbye Dermot tThanks for the memories Gone too soon RIP)
Just watched the Father Ted series for the first time. I'm American, raised Catholic, and I found it hilarious. Few shows make me laugh out loud, but this one did. RIP Dermot.
@@bighands69 sure, it's aimed mostly at Catholics. It may have aired on Channel 4, but it's humour was very Irish. One thing you have to know about us is that we love nothing more than making fun of ourselves.
@@lizardlegend42 it was never aimed at Catholics. Channel 4 funded it so it was aimed squarely also at the UK market. You don't have to be a Catholic to find it funny
@@tipperary1082 He's right. Dermot died 28/02/1998. Frank died 28/02/2016. So yes, it's EXACTLY 18 years apart. I think that's what John was trying to say. Spooky & very sad. RIP comedic legends.
What a great lad Dermot was,his only downfall was that he worked himself too hard..he was a perfectionist. His mission in life was to make people laugh..and he didn't fail..we miss you Dermot x
I started the first half of Father Ted not knowing about this tragedy, and knew about it for the second half. And just today I also found out that Father Jack died as well. RIP both.
Mrs Doyle: "can you just picture him Father, just imagine him, can you just see him, standing their with his lad in his hand!" I nearly died when I heard that line, probably the best laugh I've had in my lifetime!
Incredible when you think when you look at this that he was such an icon not just in Ireland but in Britain and that Father Ted had only been on for 3 years. Usually when they talk about someone being a comic legend they've been around for around 15 years.
Just finished watching the final episode of Father Ted for the umpteenth time. I am unable to fully enjoy that episode knowing that just hours later Dermot was gone. The ending is very poignant and always a brings a tear to my eye. 45 is no age to go. RIP Mr Morgan and thanks for the laughs x
I show Father Ted to whoever is willing to watch it. Not many people in America know about it, but every now and then I find somebody who is already a fan of the show and it's like a gateway to an instant friendship. God bless Dermot, Ardal, Frank, and Pauline for such tremendous comedy.
Loving the subtitles!! "I had no problem with it at all", becomes "i had no problem with the dog". "Soul, fillet of soul" becomes "Sean and Phyllis of soul" so accurate!
I remember hearing about Morgans death when I was a young kid, but I never truly appreciated his work until I started watching Father Ted about 5 years ago when I was 14, he was a truly gifted and funny man, to this day one of the worst losses to hit Entertainment
And I'm still watching father Ted to this day when ever I feel down it always cheers me up a bad day or what ever feel miserable I'm so grateful for this show it really does do the trick after a Bad day
Oh my God this happened 14 years ago. I just discovered "Father Ted" through Netflix. What a shame to lose such a talent so young. I absolutely love "Father Ted" I've never watched a show that consistently cracks me up the this one does. Rest in peace
My dad was only a few years older than me when it happened. He says Morgan was only getting started. He'd be 69 today if he was still around, imagine what he could've come out with in the 23 years since...
I discovered Father Ted a year ago; it was never released in France. I was sad to learn about Dermot Morgan's passing away. I guess "only the good die young".
It really upset me at the time and still cannot believe he has gone but we all die at sometime when we are called but we should not mock God or Jesus ever.
Britain knew nothing about this man. He had this strange grey hair, even though he wasn't very old. He kicked arse (Namely that of Bishop Brennan.). Then, as quickly as he arrived out of nowhere, he sadly went away forever.
I'd have no idea who he was if it wasn't for the clips people have uploaded to TH-cam. Sad to learn he's been dead for 20 years & that he wasn't that old.
Interesting they were advertising a 4th series coming up as they filmed the finale a few days before and even the writers said they were stopping at 3 series in the documentary. Must have been a late decision not to do another.
this man has touched everyones hearts and im 24 and had a crush on this man father ted is what i remember him for shame he died before giving up the collor but may he rest in peace the star that shines bright at night sleep well and make everyone in heaven laugh so much we will all see u again and we can chat about old times . I'm the only 1 in my family who loves Father ted and always love to sit down with a cuppa and relax and just think that he is watching over his fans enjoying the work that he created father we miss u and we still love u . saying a prayer for u and ur family xxxxxxxxxxx
A fantastic actor and very very funny series.He was and still is a legend and will be very much missed by all his fans.I`m sorry for his family that was left to pick up the pieces.Our thoughts and condolencies to them.Thankyou Dermot for giving us the Laughter-your be a bright light in our hearts for the rest of our days.
you can see the insincerity of Bertie's & PJ Mara's contributions.Dermot took them and their antics to task on scrap Saturday and then paid the price of not working with RTE after that.What a country..
Dermot would never know that he'd acheived immortality, Ted will never age and will be loved and enjoyed over and over long after we're gone, strange too that he dreamt as a child of being a priest, I'm sure we see our future selves in childhood dreams
legend stand up many people only seem to think of father ted but dermots talent was at his best when on stage a master of the craft rip dermot you done ireland so proud and we will forever laugh and always smile on the drop of your name
dermot is my hero in comedy shame he died so young at 45 fr ted will always be my favorite show when i was growing up i had a talent of impressions gift grub scrap saturday are my two favorite satire comedy radio shows may dermot rest in peace im sure hes up in heaven doing fr trendy for robin williams
R.I.P Dermot and Frank Kelly. Amazing men, They'd be known as Legendary actors across Ireland for generations, i bet! I do hope Pauline McLynn and Ardal O Hanlon are alive and well out there ❤❤
I reckon this is the greatest comedy of all time… I still laugh out loud every time I watch it… so sad that Dermott died only a couple of days after shooting the final episode…RIP….
dermot morgan is my comedy hero saddly he is not with us today on earth he is now up in heaven along with robin williams and frank carson dermot was a gifted and talented entertainer rest in peace dernot
01:55 - It's no wonder he was pronounced dead soon afterwards, if that old Lada was the only thing they could find in which to rush him to hospital. (Note - this is a humorous comment)
i was wondering why i can't see more than a few father ted's. it was a brilliant show. from canada. i loved watching all the characters. dougal was hilarious. right then ted.
He spoke the truth about the Catholic church and religious people in general. Since when was it a bad thing to be open and honest? He could have been a lot more brutal in his honesty and digged deeper into the scandel of certain religious people's behaviour and actions. Your comment is just what I expected from a religious, psychotic hypocrite. Big respect to Dermot Morgan. If he had lived, I'd have loved to talk to him. Seemed like a man with sense, unlike you.

Bet you were thrilled be the confession episode.
I’m actually a Protestant father.
Scary to believe the final episode of series 3 was filmed one day, and the following day Dermot was gone 😢
My favourite show and I watch it again from time to time, a great talent lost so young.
Just discovered this extraordinary human being this year (2016)! Thanks from Canada!
I'll have a cup of tea now in his fond memory, and pretend it was served up by Mrs Doyle.
Cheers Dermot!
Go on, go on, go on, and have some cake. 🍰
and it's sad that fr jack went 18 years to the day, rip to you both
Wrong
@@tipperary1082 He's right. Dermot died 28/02/1998. Frank died 28/02/2016. So yes, it's EXACTLY 18 years apart. I think that's what John was trying to say.
Spooky & very sad. RIP comedic legends.
@@heeeeeresrossy I misunderstood John's comment as it being 18 years since he died

2018 and you're still missed.

On the same day of the year 19 years apart.
@@LiamTalksMotorsport 18 years
@@Drinkman7reloaded apologies!
@@LiamTalksMotorsport Wow, I had no idea! I see they were both February 28th. What a scary coincidence!
I knew he had passed years ago but never knew He was only 45 Jeez. I was a waiter at his sons wedding there recently. R.I.P Dermot 🕯️🕯️
Living all the way in India and feeling bad after finding out such an amazing comic actor's no more.. just completed all 3 series of Father Ted
Mrs Doyle: "can you just picture him Father, just imagine him, can you just see him, standing their with his lad in his hand!" I nearly died when I heard that line, probably the best laugh I've had in my lifetime!
RIP Dear Friend I Never Met.

Dermot Morgan was a comic legend in Ireland long before Father Ted.

Unbelievable that its 25 years since he passed away.
Saw Dermot Morgan back in the late 70s/ early 80s as a comedy standup priest (Father Trendy) in Moors Hotel (Island rooms) Cork city. Happy days .
I show Father Ted to whoever is willing to watch it. Not many people in America know about it, but every now and then I find somebody who is already a fan of the show and it's like a gateway to an instant friendship. God bless Dermot, Ardal, Frank, and Pauline for such tremendous comedy.
Father ted was one of the best comedies that we have ever had it’s absolutely brilliant
Was very sad..R.I.P my friend...
My great-grandma died the same day as Dermot. She was 86, a hell of a lot better than 45!
Loving the subtitles!! "I had no problem with it at all", becomes "i had no problem with the dog". "Soul, fillet of soul" becomes "Sean and Phyllis of soul" so accurate!
OMG, thought he was still alive, 2019. Big loss to the comic world!
The only show I can watch again and again the intro music brings such good memories, for me still the best comedy I have seen.
He was indeed an innovative and exceptional talent. He's certainly missed by many.
Dermot Morgan was perfect as Father Ted.Have seen it over and over again and it still makes me laugh.He is sorely missed.Such a great talent.
I was on holiday in Dublin at the time. The grief was palpable.
there`s certain people you expect to go on forever an cannot believe there now gone, dermot, rik mayal and now cilla, legends all R.I.P.
Wouldn't include Cilla with those 2!
I was glued to the tv and radio throughout his career, fabulous talent, had so much more to give rip ted 🙂
45 is a young age he'll always be remembered
I remember hearing about Morgans death when I was a young kid, but I never truly appreciated his work until I started watching Father Ted about 5 years ago when I was 14, he was a truly gifted and funny man, to this day one of the worst losses to hit Entertainment

thanx for uploading this tribute. father ted is still one of the best comedies ever.

25 now!
2022 qnd still and icon. gone way too soon. Still so missed. free up watching you with me mama RIP Father Ted 🙏💖💫🙏
Damn, it sounds like he was hitting his stride just before he died. While I'll always love Father Ted, I had no idea he didn't want tae be typecast.
My dad was only a few years older than me when it happened. He says Morgan was only getting started. He'd be 69 today if he was still around, imagine what he could've come out with in the 23 years since...
Dermot Morgan so loved, so missed 💕

I absolutely loved Father Ted.
Thanks for uploading, sadly missed, still makes me laugh + will continue for years to come!
So sad, unbelievable. What a loss for EVERYBODY. So young.
So sad, so young, I was 19 in 1998 R.I.P.
I was 14 in 1998 and a huge Father Ted fan. I remember my Mom coming into my bedroom to tell me he had died. I was devastated.
I'd have no idea who he was if it wasn't for the clips people have uploaded to TH-cam. Sad to learn he's been dead for 20 years & that he wasn't that old.
20 fekkin' years!
I need a drrriiiinkk!!!
Amazing Actor. Every Season his performance was great. RIP Father Ted. Love From India
Interesting they were advertising a 4th series coming up as they filmed the finale a few days before and even the writers said they were stopping at 3 series in the documentary. Must have been a late decision not to do another.
Such a traggic loss at such a young age thank you for the joy and laughter you gave us your legacy lives on.

I was only 2 at the time he died and i don't remember it . But he was an absoloute legend
I was only 10 and don't remember hearing about it. It's only recently I've found out he's gone :(
you can see the insincerity of Bertie's & PJ Mara's contributions.Dermot took them and their antics to task on scrap Saturday and then paid the price of not working with RTE after that.What a country..
rest in peace.
gifted is the word.
u r missed.
Still miss him.
Rest in peace Dermott
Rest in Peace, Father Ted… Father Jack… At least we still have Mrs Doyle and Dougal. They will continue their legacy.

Such a tragedy. RIP Father Crilly.
RIP Dermot Morgan shame he couldn't have made more comedy shows. Bet they'd be as funny as Father Ted
Its a very warm kind of comedy, i don't know anyone that does not like Father Ted
Absolute legend RIP
Hard to watch a gangster like Bertie pay false tribute to a great man like Dermot Morgan, PJ Mara didn't sound convincing either.
The very weird thing about it is that Dermot died the same day as Frank Kelly the 28th February.
Forever father ted .rip irelands greatest.sadly missed by all fans
dermot is my hero in comedy shame he died so young at 45 fr ted will always be my favorite show when i was growing up i had a talent of impressions gift grub scrap saturday are my two favorite satire comedy radio shows may dermot rest in peace im sure hes up in heaven doing fr trendy for robin williams
Time makes ghosts of us all 🔔
Lived in Ireland for nine years and when I heard the news of Dermot Morgon, I was shocked.
RIP Dermot Morgan.
Saying "in the process of getting made" instead of "in production" is a very Father Ted turn of phrase.
RIP Dermot and RIP Frank. Father Ted is one of the funniest programmes ever made.
" R.I.P. Dermot and thank you. " I hear your in heaven now Father"
R.I.P Dermot and Frank Kelly. Amazing men, They'd be known as Legendary actors across Ireland for generations, i bet! I do hope Pauline McLynn and Ardal O Hanlon are alive and well out there ❤❤
I'll never forget scrap saturday on RTE radio as well as Father Ted
Brilliant programme
father ted could not have been any funnier but i still feel a bit of sadness watching it knowing that Dermot was taken so suddenly.
Rest in peace
A truly original show and a classic. Dermot was wonderful in his part, what would he have done by now

It's not that you can't see more because Dermot Morgan died. It was always going to end when it did either way
