    Father Dougal McGuire. O'Hanlon manages to perfectly capture the character. Even when he's inert, he manages to convey this sense of perpetual confusion about the world around him.

    We sat again for an hour and a half discussing maps and figures and always getting back to that most damnable creation of the perverted ingenuity of man - the County of Tyrone.

    What about a comedy mash-up?

    We have Moss for IT crowd, with Sheldon from Big Bang also featuring Dwight Schrute for The Office and a few other what you'd call oddball characters that you like, throw them all in the same show and see how they act around each other! Sounds good in my mind anyway, a SUPER COMEDY!

    Father Dougal McGuire.

    The scene where him and Fr. Ted are in the hospital after Fr. Stone got struck by lighting is probably my favourite comedy scene of all time.

    Dougal: Father Stone's been in there a long time hasn't he? Do you think he's dead?
    Ted: Probably doing tests.
    Dougal: What sort of tests? General knowledge?

    Ted: God I hate hospitals.
    Dougal: Do you ever notice it's usually sick people who end up in hospitals?


    Dougal: Who would have thought being hit by lightening would land you in hospital?
    Ted: What? What are you talking about? Of course it can land you in hospital
    Dougal: Well it's not usually serious is it Ted. I mean, I was hit by lightening a few times and I never had to go to hospital.
    Ted: Yes Dougal, but you're different from most people. All that happened to you was that balloons kept sticking to you.

    Dougal: Did you ever see that film, Ted, where your man has his head transplanted onto a fly, and the fly's head was transplanted onto the man?
    Ted: Oh, yes... what was it called...?
    Dougal: "Out Of Africa", I think. Anyway, your man has the head of the fly and he's chasing his wife all over the place and she's hiding the jam and everything so he won't get stuck in it...
    Ted: I'll have to stop you there, Dougal.
    Dougal: Yes, Ted?
    Ted: No reason. I just have to stop you.
