Two islands were arguing about which to hold the festival... one is featured on the opening credits but the plan was to have it on the other (they're both called Innis something and I can't remember which is which). Trouble is, most of it was filmed in County Clare!

Feck it, I would if I could! Craggy Island here I come (Innis Mor or Innis Oirr it would seem are the wannabe hosts)

I would be so up for the Song for Europe Competition.
As I said, Feck it I would if I could but....
I hope a Mudcatter does go and then brings us back the story and the Photographic evidence!
Best to all

My lovely horse running through the field,
Where are you going with your fetlocks blowing in the wind?
I want to shower you with sugarlumps,
And ride you over fences,
Polish your hooves every single day,
And bring you to the horse dentist,

My lovely horse,
You're a pony no more,
Running around with a man on your back,
Like a train in the night,
Like a train in the night.

LOL.
Oh Den, brilliant. I have a Friend, Jim, who is an Irish Thatcher and a very good singer and he sings "My lovely Horse" now and again at sessions when he is of a mind to get folk going.
It is the funniest thing you'de ever want to see, nearly as good as the original!
Maybe Jim will make it to the Father Ted Fest.
Now that would be Feckin funny!
Thanks for posting the song and bringing back the memory...LOL

[Ted] How exactly is it a spider-baby, Dougal; does it have the head of a spider & the body of a baby?
[Dougal] Er, no.
[Ted] Well does it have the BODY of a spider & the HEAD of a baby?
[Dougal] Er, no Ted, it has the BODY of a spider, & the HEAD of a spider...
[Ted] Well, in what way, is it a baby?
[Dougal] They keep it in a PRAM!

What a great idea- I think the Inis Mor organisers deserve to have a great time- it was their idea to have the festival after all!

Islands in Father Ted festival row

A row over a Father Ted festival has erupted

A row has broken out between two remote Irish islands over an inaugural Father Ted festival next month.

Inis Mor, the largest of the three Aran Islands off Co Galway, is planning a three-day 'Friends of Ted' event to mark the ninth anniversary of the death of comic Dermot Morgan, the star of the Channel 4 series.

However, Inis Oirr, the smallest of the islands, believes it has a bigger claim over Father Ted because local scenes, including the Plassey shipwreck, are shown in the opening scenes of the hit comedy.

Inis Mor has been given an off-season cash injection as dozens of Father Ted fans have rushed to book hotels, hostels and B&Bs for the February 23-25 festival.

However, one B&B owner on Inis Oirr said: "It's unfair that Inis Mor is cashing in on Father Ted when obviously we have closer links with the show.

"Fans and tourists would have come here in the past just to view the Plassey shipwreck. Inis Mor is trying to pull a fast one to be honest and we're not very impressed."

The Friends of Ted event features a bizarre array of themed events associated with the comedy series, such as the Father Jack Cocktail Evening, the Father Dougal Breakfast Movie Charades, the Lovely Girls Contest and Charity Auction and A Song for Europe.

Also featured on the bill is the Toilet Duck Comedy Awards, Crazy Golf, Hide A Nun and Seek, Ludo Aerobics, Buckeroo Speed Dating and a Ferrero Rocher Quiz Night. Fancy dress five-aside football will also pit priests against nuns on the island.

The organisers hope to limit the event to 100 lucky fans and a proportion of ticket sales will go towards Croi, the West of Ireland Cardiology Foundation.

Father Ted is set on the fictitious Craggy Island but was shot at various locations in Co Clare such as Ennis, Kilfenora, Ennistymon, and Kilnaboy. The parochial house is at Glenquin, near Kilnaboy. All interior scenes were shot in London.

Mind you, the Aran Isles in February could be a little blustery- might need more than Mrs Doyle's tea!

Instead of fighting over it, why don't the two islands hold simultaneous Father Ted festivals? Then they can both cash in on the TV series' popularity, and the shortage of accommodation for the festival-goers will be less of a problem.

TED: What is making that incredibly annoying noise?
DOUGAL: Oh that's Ronaldo. I was a bit lonely without you Ted so I got a hamster instead.
TED: Yes, can I ask though, does he ever stop running in that feckin wheel?
DOUGAL: No. He's had to use the wheel ever since he rode this into his feed tray. (Dougal holds up a miniature bicycle) But don't worry Ted, I think there's just something wrong with the brakes.

FATHER JACK GETS OUT OF A LARGE WOODEN BOX, TAKES A PACKET OF CIGARETTES FROM THE TABLE AND RETURNS TO THE BOX.

TED: How long has Father Jack been living in there?
DOUGAL: He started just a few days after you left.
TED: Maybe he's agrophobic.
DOUGAL: Jack? Scared of fighting? I don't think so Ted.
