WATCH: Longford stag party brilliantly recreate one of the all-time great Father Ted scenes

Conor Heneghan

It looked like they were out long after half past the eleven the night before.

Of all the brilliant guest stars in Father Ted, there were few more memorable than Father Noel Furlong, played, of course, by Graham Norton.

Noel starred in a number of classic Father Ted scenes, but perhaps his finest moment was when he and his pals participated in some vigorous Irish dancing in a caravan while on holidays, so vigorous, in fact, that it caused the caravan to turn over.

Inspired by this scene, a party on Sean Meenaghan’s stag decided to recreate it when they returned home to Moydow in Longford, where the annual TedFest was taking place in Kearney’s Bar.

With the caravan in situ and the music at the ready, there was only logical thing to do. We’re told that they fitted 13 of them into it at one point…

Classic.
