Furthermore, Father Ted should not even be eligible to participate in a U.K. Comedy Championship. It’s not made in the U.K but The Republic of Ireland.

A judicial review please.

I've looked at the latest polling - it's 55-45 for Ted. That was a negative and right now I need two positives, one to cancel out the negative and another one so I can have a positive.

Can I shock you? I like Father Ted, despite what I said earlier. At any one time I’ve got 3 Father Ted DVD’s in my flat.

Have you taped over The Spy Who Loved Me with America's Strongest Man?

That would be an ecumenical matter.

Alan P is genius but can be cringey.
Father Ted is pure genius

Once in a generation a genius bursts onto the scene (Partridge). A bit more frequently a fairly gifted person wanders in and his name is Father Ted.

Stop getting polls wrong.

Father Ted was brilliant but so was Partridge it’s a difficult one this

Ted was very funny but owing to the death of Ted it provided a very limited run of episodes as such did it appear to be a limited edition treat plus it did not have a chance to become stale But I suspect it would have given time.

Partridge was probably the funniest of the two but definitely overstayed it’s sell by date.

really hard decision but I think I will plump for Partridge

Love them both. Agree this should be a semi final or final matchup.
IMO Ted has higher peaks in terms of specific funnier moments, (Kicking BB up the arse, the football match, Hitler impression, Richard Wilson, Speed 3 etc), but also a fair few dull episodes, whereas the writing in Partridge is more consistently funny throughout, in nearly every line of dialogue.
On that basis had to go for AP, also seeing as Ted has it wrapped up anyway.

Goodnight, sweet prince.

Ted marches into the Semis.

 

[ManOfSussex]

Goodnight, sweet prince.

Ted marches into the Semis.

Would you like me to lap dance for you? Uh-uh - I want a second quarter final.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Goodnight, sweet prince.

Ted marches into the Semis.

If anyone is capable of bouncing back it's Alan. Needles to say, he'll have the last laugh.

Travesty.

This competition is over for me. I'm going to concentrate on the league.
