Stephen Rea did the voice over for Big G during this period.

Ironically, he was also married to one of the most senior IRA intelligence officers during this period too.
It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

Father Ted was supposed to end with Ted killing himself. After Dermot Morgan died the day after filming wrapped on the third season, it was changed to a montage.

Remember that time a Beshoff who works at a car dealership in Dublin brought someone on a test drive and the fella intentionally drove into the sea in a suicide attempt? The Beshoff survived but the other fella didn't.

I shouldn't laugh, but that sounds like something out of a sitcom or comedy skit. LOL

Crazy story. 

Suicide is one thing, trying to take others with you is another.

I actually know a man who almost committed suicide by swerving straight into an oncoming truck, but then he stopped himself at the last moment when he thought that the driver might have a family/children of their own.
