galenkia Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 5 minutes ago, Derek Dangleberries said: I was going to mention another Irish comedian ....... Dermot Morgan. Not because of Father Ted but with his time on RTE'S "The Live Mike" . I liked watching him during the time of The Hunger Strike riots (I rigged up a receiver in my room). There was one character he played that appeared up in the rafters in the dark dressed in black. His monologues were effing hilarious. The show's open mockery of IRA rebel songs, the Catholic Church and religion in general really makes you wonder how he lived to do Father Ted !! I didn't mention him before your post because my experience of him was in the early 80s .... Although he started on the show earlier in the late 70s .. He was brilliant in Father Ted. One of my favourite comedy shows ever. RIP 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coxyhog Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Anything with Spike Milligan in it,he must've been in something in the 70's. Pretty much agree with all of the above,we were truly blessed to live through an age of great comedy and music. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It ain't half hot mum was brilliant as well. Windsor Davies . I always laugh at this scene, with Lofty trying his best to hold it in and Windsor doing a great bit of improvisation. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
