Nearly 20 years after it ended, Father Ted remains a massive part of popular culture in Ireland, with fans of the show regularly recalling famous scenes conversation to this day.
One of the most famous scenes in the show's history that isn't so easy to recite is Mrs. Doyle's attempts to name the impostor in the Craggy Island parochial house who pretends to be a former classmate of Ted's in St' Colm's.
