Saturday Irish Fun - Just for a laugh for the weekend


If you are interested in a laugh for the month of March, for the run up to St. Patricks Day (March 17) have a look at Father Ted. For our friends in the USA you can watch this online for FREE on Tubli - https://tubitv.com/series/300006613/father-ted


Father Ted (1998) is a fun comedy from Ireland about three irreverent priests, exiled for various infractions to a village on Ireland’s craggy Irish coast. Father Ted is one of those rare sitcoms that defies categorization--it owes as much to Flann O'Brien and Samuel Beckett as it does to Monty Python--and its blend of satire, character comedy, and anarchic surrealism has made it a cult favorite around the world.


Exiled to remote Craggy Island, Father Ted Crilley shares a house with the breathtakingly stupid Father Dougal and the constantly inebriated Father Jack, who has a small vocabulary and a taste for furniture polish. Their housekeeper, Mrs. Doyle, takes care of them with a never-ending supply of tea and sandwiches: "Go on now, Father, won't you try one? They're diagonal." Together they fight boredom by dressing up as Elvis, startling ducks at the fair, and provoking nuns.


Staring Dermot Morgan, Ardal O'Hanlon, Frank Kelly, Pauline McLynn, Graham Norton
