The Father Teds Reunite...

It's been a good few years since Irish comic Dermot Morgan sadly passed away and new episodes of hit sitcom Father Ted stopped appearing on our TV screens. All those involved in the side-splittingly-funny Channel 4 show went on to other things – more recently, a selection of them got together and made the movie 'Wide Open Spaces'...

Uber successful Irish comedy writing duo Graham Linehan and Arthur Matthews have been the small screen kings in the UK for over a decade, devising some of the biggest hits hitting TV sets in Ireland, Britain, and beyond. And with ratings winners under their belts such as The Fast Show and Father Ted, they certainly have the formula for funny.

Alas, the golden team of two have gone their separate ways with Graham going on to write and direct the hilarious I.T. Crowd and more recently, Arthur has gathered some of the Father Ted crew back together for his new movie Wide Open Spaces...

Arthur Matthews

Arthur premiered the funny flick at The Lighthouse Cinema in Smithfield last week with the lead Ardal O'Hanlon present and looking to finally drop the Dougal type-casting. Ah, will ever hear him say: "Teeeeeeeed" again?

Divine Comedy singer Neil Hannon was also at the screening having provided the soundtrack for the film. Neil was actually the person behind the original Father Ted theme tune and also the awesomely brilliant My Lovely Horse song in the classic Eurovision send-up episode...

Mr. Hannon turned-up at the Premiere with his new sweetheart and fellow singer Cathy Davey... Other guests at The Lighthouse included another former Tedder Don Wycherley, as well as Tom Hall, Melanie O'Hanlon, Aisling O'Loughlin, and many more...
