Ted is surprised to see Richard Wilson, from the show "One Foot in the Grave", waiting outside, and goes up to greet him with his catchphrase "I don't believe it!". Wilson, sick of the phrase himself, turns on Ted and starts beating him up before others physically drag him away.

"Father Ted" ran for three series from 1995 to 1998, including a Christmas special. A total of 25 episodes were produced. Linehan and
