The whole idea of a parallel world inhabited by Catholic priests and nuns and their awkewardness when dealing with 'real people' was just a stroke of absolute genius. All the misfit characters living in the parish house feeding comic line after comic line off each other makes this series stand out and be consistently funny.
Dermot Morgan, Ardhal O'Hanlan, Frank Kelly and Pauline McLynn all contribute by playing their characters to the hilt and make it excruciating viewing for the Catholic church itself which just makes it more watchable. You can imagine the Bishops and Priests cringeing when a contraversial subject is lampooned and the real sychophantic housekeepers tutting at Mrs Doyle's obsessions. The early sad loss of Dermot Morgan was the only reason the series ended which was a testament to his brilliant character that it just wouldn't have been the same without him.
Each episode is memorable in it's own right and the whole series is a joy. Situation comedy rarely gets much better. Funny funny funny.
Absolutely LOVE this Show. But that was not always the case.
When it first aired, and after catching bits of it, I just didn't get it and thought it was stupid.
But after a friend let me borrow a Video with 4 Full episodes, it all changed. I was engrossed in the mad lives if Father Ted, Father Dougal, Father Jack and Mrs Doyle.
The show is really well written, and VERY FUNNY once you get into it. I've watched most of the episodes several times, and they deliver every single time.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Does it have subtitles as im hard of hearing and i remember watching this when i was younger and i really love it and wouldnt mind having this unless it doesnt have any subtitles.
I love this fecking show its absolutely brilliant. Ted (Dermot Morgan), Dougal (Ardal OHanlan), Jack (Frank Kelly) and Mrs. Doyle (Pauline McLynn) are all great characters and every episode is bound to have you laughing. If you havent seen this yet then it is a must. Enjoy
This is the best comedy one can watch over and over again and still laugh out loud!! DVD quality is Excellent....Don't think twice to buy it......Go on go on go on
