I always enjoyed watching Father Ted episodes on Channel 4, so as soon as the complete box set came out on DVD i bought it straight away. I was not disappointed! The 4 disk box set contains every single Father Ted episode ever created including christmas specials (25 in total) and DVD special features all in a tidy fold-out box with cover about twice the thickness of a single DVD case. I found the DVD speical features both fun and interesting, especially the writers commentary for series 1 and 2. Some of the commentary is by Graham Linehan (writer) and Ardal O'Hanlon (Father Dougal). The special features for series 3 include more fun things such ...  Read the complete review

INTRODUCTION I remember the very first time I saw Father Ted. I'd never heard of it but was idly flicking through the TV channels on a Friday night. I stumbled across this weird programme on Channel 4 about some priests and their mad housekeeper who kept banging on about tea! I didn't know what to make of it at first, but stayed with it till the end of the episode and quickly found it hilarious! I never missed an episode after that. I bought the various different series/half series on video when they were released; these were replaced with the DVD box set when it became available. I have the original DVD box set; they've since released a newer ...  Read the complete review

Well firstly a brief intro to the series of Father Ted... it's about a group of slightly odd misfit Irish vicars and their tea lady. There isn't much about religion in there - much less than Vicar of Dibley. it is more about the personalities of these extremely odd individuals.

It's essentially about how a group of weird people cling together in their varying degrees of weirdness against the loneliness of being stranded on an under-populated island. They are all entirely self-absorbed and yet bond in their far-out exploits. The box set is perfect for dipping into. I would ...  Read the complete review

I've had the Complete Box Set of Father Ted for several years now and still like to dig it out and give it a spin every now and again. It contains all of the episodes ever made for this brilliant comedy sitcom. Originally this was screened on Channel 4 in the 90s and was popular with quite a wide audience for its easy going comical nature. Father Ted Crilly is basically about a priest who lives on Craggy Island, a remote island in Ireland. He's there because he's been a bit of a rubbish catholic priest so the archbishop sent him there to get him out the way! Along with him is Mrs Doyle, the housekeeper who is obsessed with forcing everyone to drink ...  Read the complete review

At least if you buy this, you are guaranteed to laugh more than you would to the punchline to that joke (if there is one, I'm sure there is, I just made it up for effect!) I'm not going to spend ages boring you with what Father Ted is actually about, because I'm sure most of you know. If you dont, may I suggest the below site I stumbled upon as a guide to the show, or one of the many others on the web. http://www.fathertedonline.ukf.net/ Briefly, this is the plot: Father Ted is a sit-com is about three priests and their housekeeper living in a parochial house on Craggy Island (I'm not sure if this exists!) off the coast of ...  Read the complete review
