Correction: Father Ted was a British programme, made by Channel 4 (U.K.), and shot in London. It was, of course, set in Ireland and the external scenes were shot on location.
Catchphrase from the TV series Father Ted. When someone is caught stealing and they insist that the money was just resting in their account.
"Dave, can you give us an update on that guy who was abusing his power of attorney to steal from his grandmother?"
"Yeah, he was arrested and tried to use the Father Ted defence"
Father Ted is a great series. However, a friend of ours had bigged it up so much that it could never live up to the stratospheric heights that he had set it and, while good, it didn't. He had therefore 'father tedded' Father Ted.
Robert told Della that he had a big cock. In fact it was only 4". Della was upset and told Robert that he had father tedded things too often and that she was very disappointed with the size of his cock!
