So after his huge success as Father Dougal the question had to be how does Ardal O'Hanlon follow that. Alternatively how far will he fall and how fast.

Maybe that’s because of the inclusion of Ardal O’Hanlan – best known as Dougal in “Father Ted” – as the main star of the show alongside Emily Joyce, who plays his girlfriend, Janet. You can see this half hour comedy show on BBC1 on a Monday evening at 8.30pm ...  Read the complete review
