Talking Ted is to be hosted by cast members Joe Rooney, and Patrick McDonnell, along with Neil Hannon. The podcast will include interviews from cast members, along with behind the scenes stories from the show.
The show has also announced plans to interview cast members Pauline McGlynn and Graham Norton. It is also set to interview actors who played Bishop Brennan, Father Dick Byrne, Sister Assumpta and Todd Unctious.
Speaking on the podcast, Joe Rooney said, "We recorded a good bit of it during the pandemic. We talked about each episode as we watched it and interspersed it with interviews with the actors from individual episodes and of course Ardal O’Hanlon and Arthur Matthews as well".
"It’s like the extras that you used to get on DVDs, the actors talking as they watch",.
"Unsurprisingly, it’s as funny as ever and there’s lots of details", Rooney added when asked if it was bittersweet to regale all these Father Ted moments. "I think that’s why Ted quizzes are so popular because there are so many little details that you see after repeated viewings. There are so many things that aren’t really part of the plot but they’re just little insights and brilliant details".
Father Ted co producer Graham Linehan will not be part of this podcast.
