Movie Reviews of Father Ted - Complete Series 3
Movie Review: Worth a $1000 for the "Speed 3" episode.
Summary: 5 Stars
It is probably cheaper and better to buy the box set as there are 5 episodes per disc and 4 discs in total. Father Ted ran for three seasons for a total of 25 episodes. The sound is Dolby 2.0 Stereo. The frame is 1.33:1. It is unknown if Season three was supposed to be another Season one with a shorter run of 6 episodes or 10 episodes as Season two did. In the end we get 8 episodes of Season three. "Are You Right There, Father Ted?" has Ted accidentally appearing looking like Hitler after he is mistaken by a local Chinese community as a fascist. "Chirpy Burpy Cheap Sheep" is the King of the Sheep 98' competition. If you like sheep you will like this one. "Speed 3" may be one of the funniest television episodes ever when Dougal's milk float is rigged to explode if he drops below 4 mph. This episode is widely considered one of the best, if the not the best comedy TV instalments ever aired. "The Mainland" sees Ted & co. leaving Craggy Island for a trip when all hell breaks loose. Jack goes to an AA meeting! If you want to see a 5 a side - over 75 - football match then look no further than "Escape from Victory". Will Ted's fake rubber arms fool the referee? "Kicking Bishop Brennan up the A*se" is exactly what it means. Here Ted in a forfeit to Dick Burn must kick Bishop Brennan while Dougal takes the photograph. It is a gem in the series. "Night of the Nearly Dead" is a pull on the Irish singer Daniel O' Donnel who is loved by all women over the age of 50. Here he visits Craggy Island to see Mrs. Doyle only for Ted to find that the house is under siege by the elderly-zombies who are dying to see their favorite singer. "Going to America" is the final episode of the series. Her Ted is offered his own parish in California which he thinks he can cash in on. The only catch is that he can't take Dougle, Jack or Mrs. Doyle with him. It ends with a lovely montage of all the episodes. It appears that this episode may have been the last one on the schedule to be shot and that there was talk that Father Ted would end with this season. After shooting Dermot Morgan (Father Ted) announced that "I don't want to be the next Clive Dunn and end up playing the same character for years." This was taken to mean that effectively the Father Ted series had finished. He said that he was working on a new comedy television series. It is believed that this would be about two retired football players living together, but just weeks before the first episode of Season three was to air, during a dinner party in his home, Dermot Morgan had a sudden massive heart attack and died. He was only 45. It seems that the ending of last episode of Season three is still cut short as if something has been removed and the montage put in instead. It actually ends on a sort of a sad note, happy, but sad and a tribute to this great character, man and series. There was nothing like Father Ted and there will never be again.
