The link between How Soon Is Now and Father Ted

Fr Ted & Morrissey's persona are sourced from and remix 'Eleanor Rigby' by The Beatles, either as comedy or tragedy. Or both:

"Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Father McKenzie writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working, darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?"
