Father Ted (TV Series) Night of the Nearly Dead (1998) User Reviews

Super funny, love the horror vibe.

I never really used to appreciate just how good this episode actually is, I think partly because the character of Eoin McLove used to irritate me a little, but as with the spirit of the show, he's so over the top, so outrageous, he's a perfect fit.

A few episodes in this final series were inspired by movies, and here we get night of the living dead, those housewives are so very funny, I love the idea of then wandering about like zombies.

It was great that this final series gave Mrs Doyle more involvement, and she is just wonderful.

Almost at the end of the show, and I don't want it to end. 8/10.

one of the funniest episodes

i love this episode to start with eoin mc love who has to be one of the funniest characters ever and is based on a real person and i never get over the joke about the women talking to misses Doyle 'may i be struck down with every disease known to a middle aged women and as you and i both know thats a hell of a lot of diseases'and there's the whole spoof of night of the living dead which i loved being a fan of George Romero's films in where they replace zombies with old and middle aged women and there constant repeating of the word eoin sounds like the moaning of zombies and there are interesting parallels between the 2 also there's the classic line 'i've no Willy'
