Questions about Father Ted

Yillan

Just a couple of questions about Father Ted. We're watching it here and just to satisfy a bit of curiosity.

1. Where is St Clabbert's in real life? The outside scene where the lads park the car and run in.
2. What would the Chinese have had against Hitler?

What would anyone have against Hitler? Sure he never did nothin' to me! :pac:

Sure Hitler was a grand fella, kept himself to himself really...

Hitler wouldn't be up at 3am in the morning listening to JUngle music and drilling holes in the wall.

Hitler was an ally of Japan when the Japanese killed millions and millions of Chinese people.

Most likely somewhere in Clare, thats where they did nearly all of their outdoor shooting.

It's also not so much that they had something against Hitler. It was Ted seemingly appearing like a mad racist, the best known of whom is Hitler.

No idea where St Clabbert's is.

I don't think St Clabbert exists - did a search and nothing is coming up. Or do you mean where it was filmed? It could be Clare.

Yeah, it's probably some house near Kilfenora. For more ted answers go to http://www.feck.net/splange/ftfaq.html

The recent Small, Far Away documentary seemed to suggest that all exterior shooting was done in blocks of weeks on location in Clare so I'd agree with boneyarsebogman that it's probably somewhere around the county.
All interior shots of the Parochial house were doing in front of live audience at Channel4 studios in London.
I'm not sure about other interiors like the Eurosong set, All-Priests Over-75's Five-a-Side gym, John & Mary's shop etc. I assume a lot of those were probably locations near London.

Hi All,

Am looking for the Father Ted theme tune to download for something and I cannot find it on itunes. I know it was done by Neil Hannon and The Divine Comedy but only the rejigged version is on itunes.

Any ideas

Cheers

You have to give him that, credit where it's Jew.

Unfortunately I'd say Songs of Love is all you're going to find on iTunes or the shops! Can't see any mention of an official soundtrack online anywhere.

My mate recognised the area in the opening sequence as that of Fanore in County Clare, quite a bit of the series has been filmed there, I think parts of it have been filmed in the Arran Islands too, especially Inisheer.
