Fans of huge 90s sitcom go wild as cast unite for video 26 years after final episode
FANS of a huge 90s sitcom have gone absolutely wild as the cast reunited.
Father Ted was home to major faces as the likes of Dermot Morgan, Ardal O’Hanlon and Frank Kelly, who starred in the hit show.
Three series were made of the popular Channel 4 comedy show which aired between 1995 and 1998.
26 years after the final episode was originally broadcast, some of the cast have united for a huge project.
Northern Ireland Comic Con took place earlier this month and three of the actors hosted their own reunion.
Comedian Patrick McDonnell played heartthrob singer and TV personality Eoin McLove in the series.
Paddy Ward starred as Bishop Jordan whilst TikTok sensation Ben Keaton was cast in the role as the irritating priest, Austin Purcell.
Together the trio were all smiles as they posed on the steps of the Lisburn venue.
When they were inside the convention centre, Patrick posted a video of the small group onto his Instagram grid page.
“I’m at the Icon Centre in Lisburn for Comic Con and I smell wee.”
The camera then panned round to Paddy who exclaimed: “I’m fine thanks!”
Then, Ben appeared in the video where he jokingly asked: “We’re missing [someone]. Who’s the short fella we’re missing today on Saturday?”
He then added: “I’ll baptise your babies. Bring them!”
But Patrick was keen to get the group back on message as he stated: “We’re here all day and Father Damien (Joe Rooney) is joining us tomorrow. See you then!
Harking back to his character, he sarcastically added: “I could have you killed.”
Fans were left in hysterics at the video as they flooded the comments section of his post.
One fan exclaimed: “This is brilliant,” along with a face of tears of joy emoji.
I can have you killed.

“We need the play!”, commented a second.
While a third user jokingly wrote: “‘I could have you killed’. So demure and mindful.”
And a fourth simply commented: “Iconic,” along with a clapping hands emoji signalling his applause.
All three series of Father Ted are available to watch on Channel 4 on demand.
