"Perfect"

By Dilipo, Jun 24, 2006 Report Abuse

Where do I start with this Episode? It is hilarious from start to finish; this is easily My favorite Father Ted Episode, I mean you don't even to have to see Speed to know that it's funny. It is an excellent Irish take on speed yet it has alot of original ideas. This is a great episode for Dougal lovers but all the characters have great roles and have extremely funny lines. Some of the jokes are a bit silly but the rest of the episode made up for it. Pat Mustard was great, It was A shame that he died but is my favorite non-recurring character in Father Ted. The ending wasn't great but when Dougle said "Ted! You forgot your brick!" I just cracked up laughing!!! Overall this is a brilliant Episode of Father Ted and I sure you'll love it.moreless

ADD QUOTES
- Ted: (appearing to draw a complex diagram furiously on the blackboard) Yes...gentlemen, Father Dougal is propelling the milkfloat by exerting a small amount of pressure on the accelerator. If we can replace his foot with an object that applies the same pressure, then I think we can safely remove him from the vehicle! Fr. Beeching: You mean...? Ted: Yes! We put the brick on the accelerator! (We see the blackboard; he has written "We put the brick on the accelerator") Edit
- Ted: You were jumping around with them and spinning them around! Dougal: I was only having a bit of fun! Ted: Yes, well that's no good reason why you threw up on me! Edit
