Jesus, Mary and Joseph and the wee donkey

7 people have disliked this. Must be bent coppers who’s arses are going like the clappers.

He has the perfect amount of outrage, audacity and disgust delivered in every line. I feel every bit of that “God give me strength”. Fantastic show!

Being from Northern Ireland most of these are in our everyday vocabulary. We've just taken it for granted. Ted is brilliant

When Ted called Steve "the wee gobshite" lmao had me in stitches XD

Of course this is missing his latest bon mots: “Jesus, Mary and Joseph and the wee donkey...”!!

Nah the best line is...'granny's night gown...it covers everything!!'

Forgot “Nobody’s blacker than me son!”

The 22 dislikes are from members of the OCG.

"quite frankly son, right now, I couldn't give a shit"

2:43 im convinced they made his name hastings to use that line in an episode its too perfect

Mother of god Letter of the law Now we're sucking Diesel ⛽ Fella God give me strength And Most important.. Nicking BENT COPPERS

I am calm. I'M TOTALLY BLOODY CALM

I swear I find myself saying Mother of God at least once a day in convo cause of Ted 😂

The book, followed by the bookcase 😂

Has anyone started to adopt his mannerisms and sayings into their life 😂

“Going like the clappers” idk why but that saying always makes me grin 😂

"Well she cooked her goose now"... Is my fav Tedsim

There was a belter missing:- This warrant is like Grannies nightie...it covers everything.

We need more from Ted Hastings and thank God, BBC listened to us and just commissioned two more seasons. Thanks BBC!

I remember Steve lying to him in S1 and he storms off and says "Doctor told me to watch my blood pressure!" XD Always loved that one.

“I AM CALM! IM TOTALLY BLOODY CALM!” He says while being very un calm😂😂

I've been round the houses and down the bloody drains looking for this video

The letter!

My team will move HEAVEN AND EARTH!

My old dad was Irish. Whenever he was annoyed he would shout JESUS MARY AND JOSEPH. I think in his life he may have said it nearly as many times as Ted.

I'm American, not of Irish descent, but around his age, taught by an order of Irish nuns, went to school with a lot of Irish descent kids and I say "Mother of God" and "Jesus, Mary and Joseph" all the time. :) Sometimes I also say "Jesus, Mary, and Joseph and all the saints", too! When my children were young, "God give me strength" was coming out of my mouth constantly!

Bent Coppers!! i love Hastings.. the magnificent Adrian Dunbar.

I have just been binge watching the entire series on BBC iPlayer. Holy mother of Mary, did I just waste an entire day ? Thank holy God it was worthwhile. May the Lord forgive me for being so frivolous with day.

I love the character Ted, and being that Adrian Dunbar is able to understand the character so well, he surely must have similar qualities, at least I love to believe that - in the world we live in today, people like Ted are too rare. Ted is someone who has integrity and humility, he's the down-to-earth boss we've all wished we had, and AC 12 is the team we all wish we could be a part of, this is one of the most important aspects of successful tv shows - we all want to be a part of a family or team like that. Ted's quotes remind me of my grandparents, even though they were born here in the U.S., my grandmother's ancestors are Scots-Irish, and she used to say the exact phrases and others that were similar. And my grandfather's family is from England & Ireland, and things he said were very similar, too, he always used the word, "Fella".

Where is the ‘I Don’t care if it’s one rotten apple or the whole bloody barrel’ phrase?

Listen to this in your Best Home stereo with full volume on.

Why does he sound like every northern irish grandad? 🤣

Let’s be honest, he had to have included those himself, only Northern Irish people come out with stuff like this 😂

As someone who grew up in Fermanagh (where Adrian Dunbar was born), a county where “Suckin Diesel” is quite a common expression I was delighted when Ted Hastings said it!

It never gets old.

Just LOVE Ted! He’s up there with my other all-time favourite Tony Soprano. Imagine those two going head to head. I hope they don’t kill him off - the show would be nothing without him.

Fantastic acting in any language 👏 just love the old Irish sayings

All those Mother of Gods at the beginning - as a Catholic I feel like I need to go to confession 😭 I love Ted Hastings ❤ I want to start watching LOD all over again!

Best character in the show!

This is a music to my ears.

My day has definitely been made

"fella ! " and "yes, like the battle " being on the other side of the pond it's interesting to hear the brits slang for things

Ok but that ending was a waste of time. Buckles? Of all people BUCKLES? IAN BLOODY BUCKLES. Never been more disappointed

"now we're sucking diesel" best line ever 😂😂

This is Class

I really needed this distilled version of Ted today. Thanks! 😂

Northern Irish accent is the most badass Irish accent

I love it when he had the teapot and said shall ibe mum lol

Houl yer whisht! or haud yer wheesht (Scottish version?) Love this one!

The letter of the law fella.... Bent coppers...i love Hastings

I just love TED !!

"unless you've got some egg shucking tips for your granny" 😂😂

He's got the best lines by far

Whoever made this deserves a pay rise

We need more episodes here, they are well written and very engaging indeed! So come on, Jed Mercurio...let's start 'Sucking diesel!!'

That last one was a gem :D

Brilliant!

Sweet baby Jesus and the orphans. Best show bar none IMO 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧

Beautiful

Class.

Gotta love Ted!

Can't belive that was the ending

Best 3 minutes of my life

I absolutely LOVE this show!! When is the next season coming out is what I need to know?????

That last part hahaha

OK. I need to watch this show.

Muchly needed after the tripe served up in the finale.

Love it!!!

Personal favourite "jesus, mary, joseph and the wee donkey".

Who else can’t wait for Sunday? Is H Carrmichael?? What do you think?

american here, making it my mission in life to incorporate "goin' like the clappers" into every future conversation. ted hastings for prez! (anyone can be prez here!)

Anyone: breathes... Ted: MOTHER OF GOD

Writing this 9 hours before the episode begins. I reckon that with Ted due to retire, he is going to go out with guns blazing and will take down H but then be shot and killed in the line of duty. It will be a tearful farewell to our favourite character but he will take a place of honour in the memories of all fans.

To the letter!

Ted in class at register time - Teacher - Ted Hastings. Ted- Like the battle.

I love him.

These are all expressions I use 😂😂

Miss you already Ted 🤣🤣🤣🤣💁‍♀️

Priceless😂😂

Arnott being H would be the only shocker

This is absolutely Brilliant..I love this Man..but can we have the clip "it would b like being out wiv 1 of Pan's People"

Excellent series. One more thing, why oh why can't I get season 5 on my BritBox subscription??

Luv it 👍😀😊😊

I'll have the sirloin steak,medium rare,no sauce.

He's the real deal!!

1:50 Only interested in one thing and one thing only. Goodbye Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Sleep and the results of it.

...like Grand ma's night gown-- covers everything...

What about “he’s only ten stone wringing wet!”

"Believe you meee"

The letter..!

*Ted:* _Nobody's blacker than me._ *Me:* _I have questions._ 🤔

Don’t know whether I should have toast for breakfast or cereal. Might just have a fry-up.

They missed out "Jesus, Joseph, Mary and the wee donkey"

I’m from Essex relatives are from Dublin and portadown ( very close to where he’s from) 5 minutes in portadown and you talk like them like it or not 😂😂 my grandmother said all of his sayings literally is the way they speak 🤷🏼‍♀️🥰🥰

One of his expressions I did not get, was "well, back to the coalface, the pair of ya", I've never heard the term "coalface" but found out it means, like at the coalface of the mine, referring to the thoughts and actions of the people who are *actually doing the job where real work is done* not just where people talk about it, as in *engaged in work at an active rather than a theoretical level in a particular field.*

🤣🤣 brilliant

I love you Ted

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DON'T LET OUR TED BE THE MYSTERIOUS H!

Stretching on some of these.
