The lowbrow 1990s sitcom Maurice Gibb reportedly took to his grave: “Is this true?”
Ardal O’Hanlon said he was told that Bee Gees musician Maurice Gibb was buried with the DVD box set of the sitcom Father Ted. The anecdote offers a playful glimpse of Gibb’s private tastes, which contrasted with his polished, fashionable public image.
O’Hanlon recounted the story on a podcast in 2022, saying Robin Gibb’s wife, Dwina, had affirmed it when he asked her. The account is second-hand and not presented as independently confirmed; Maurice Gibb died in 2003.
In short
- Ardal O’Hanlon says Maurice Gibb was buried with Father Ted DVDs.
- Robin Gibb’s wife reportedly affirmed the story.
- The anecdote remains based on second-hand accounts.
