Father Ted episode ..Escape From Victory

Post by redmum »

Has anyone seen this absolutely hilarious episode of Father Ted?
Is about the Priest's Over 75's Annual Football Game.
Mrs. Doyle can't see what the men are getting so excited about, after all, it's just a bunch of men kicking around a bit of leather, so Father Ted gives her a book "How to watch football for women"
By the end of the game, all the women in town have read the book and are screaming from the sidelines in true football supporter fashion.
I have tried finding it on Youtube, but have had no luck.
Anyone who finds it and could post a link, it is the funniest episode ever!

Well, if it was in my native tongue...

Okay, I wasn't on the ball this time.

Try to watch it if you get a chance. Typical British humour, which I know you'll find funny.

Tonight (now in fact) ABC2 is showing "The Old Grey Whistle Theft". By my calculations (if episodes are played in order with no stoppages over christmas) ABC2 should show the "Escape From Victory" episode on march 3rd next year.

I'll see if my sis has it on dvd and get you a copy if she has :D

Too bad you don't have a toppy. Easy to transfer files between machines.
