I've actually read somewhere that the Irish is the nation that drinks the most tea per household. I blame Mrs Doyle.

...and you're right, Dave Boyfish and the Wheel is sheer joy. :-D

Ahh, Mrs. Doyle! And you're probably right. I seem to remember a line in Tom Baker's autobiograpgy about his mother (or aunt?) drinking 33 cups of tea a day because Jesus was 33 when he died.

My mate called DBATW "Half man, Half Hawkwind" - I think he may be onto something!

I've watched all the Father Ted episodes with commentary, and apparently Mrs. Doyle is based on one of the writers' mother. And Fathers Stone and Noel are based on real priests they once met. Little-acknowledged fact is that Zardoz was produced in Ireland — in the massacre toward the end, they almost couldn't get the permit for guns and blanks, and one of the local crewmen said "oh, that shouldn't be too big a problem, my best friend is in the IRA". Fortunately, the permit passed before they called in a favour from the gun-runner.

I can see that. I think he's on to something, as well.

I can imagine that! I know a few very Mrs. Doyle-like women!

Come to think of it, my father was a lot like Mrs. Doyle. The man had to feed everybody who came through the door.
