10 years ago today, Dermot Morgan died.... (Feb 28th 1998) In his short 45 years, he left a legacy that most would be proud of, and no doubt he was taken from us before his time. What are your favourite Dermot Morgan moments? From Father Trendy, to Scrap Saturday, to Father Ted.... post your memories here!

I won't pick out a moment - what was important was that he existed! He ended up being a valuable conduit for young talent.

The episode in the lingerie store will forever be one of my favourite comedy moments. Comedy at its best.

First priest: (speaking into intercom, boring voice) Ladies and gentlemen, could you please bring your purchases to the checkout as the store is about to close. Hurry up. Come on, hurry up, will ye...

(customers begin to walk towards the gathered priests)

Father Ted: (grabbing the microphone) Not that way, for feck's sake, the other way!

The episode with Dougal on the milk float, comedy gold.
The priests are trying to come up with ideas when one says:

"Is there anything to be said for another mass?"

Great guy, great program. The Pat Mustard episode FTW. Some of the lads used to say that Pat Mustard was the guy that played Georgie Burgess in the Snapper. Is that true(Would make it all the funnier)!?

My favourite DERMOT moment (not Father Ted) is his facial expression when Dougal bursts the crisps all over his head.

"How do ya open these Ted?"

< Bang! >

Always makes me laugh!

"Clit Power? What does that mean? I knew a Father Clint Power, maybe she's having a go at him".

Absolute genius. Everything he touched was gold. Father Ted is the greatest show ever bar none.

Legend in every way, so much of he's talent was wasted here in Ireland and cut short on the international stage.

Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

He was great. The show, Father Ted, was fantastic. It worked so well because none of the characters, dougle, jack, mrs.doyle, would be that funny by themselves. It was Dermot that cemented the whole thing together.

I couldn't believe it when I heard it was 10 years. I would've said 5 at most. Biggest shame about him dying so young was that he finally getting the International recognition that he deserved. Pity he didn't get to enjoy it longer.

Brilliant episode. Lots of great moments, with a shadow of a doubt one of the finest entertainers I've seen.

Golden cleric award with the big speech at the end.

My cousin works in the music industry and he knew that fella from the Bee Gees (the dead one). It turns out that the Bee Gee fella was a huge father ted fan. My cousin couldn't believe it until he overheard him saying "go on, go on, go on, go on!" to somebody that was refusing a drink at a bar. So they end up having a big conversation about Father Ted and my cousin told him that he would get a script for one of the episodes for him. However the Bee Gee fella kicked the bucket before he could give him the script. However he did give it to his family who supposedly put it into his coffin because it was his favourite tv show. Theres one for ya!
