That scene — and Ted's ridiculous sign — have been part of my mental furniture for decades, but I haven't rewatched it since I was a teen. Seems like a rewatch is in order...
Was very happy to see Father Ted mentioned after I saw the title! Brilliant show, in the episode by protesting outside the theatre of a controversial movie, local people only find out about it because of the protest and it ends up having a huge audience. Bit like the Streisand effect!
Absolutely. There's a good case to be made that the same happened with the Jerry Springer opera — I doubt even half of the people talking about it would have even known it existed after its single broadcast on the BBC if the protests hadn't given it so much coverage.
I just watched that episode of Father's Ted last night!
