I had never heard of this show until it popped up on UA-cam. I loved this episode! There must be more, and I hope Classic British Telly will get them for us on UA-cam. I tried to find this series on Amazon, but it is not available.
Trivia ITV ensured that this series was doomed to failure from the outset by accidentally transmitting the second episode first. Viewers were left confused when the first episode, which set up the events in episode two, was then shown the following week.-IMDB
A precursor to Father Ted in the 1990s - although the humour here is rather more gentle. Could the drunken Father O'Brien - (I've known so many drunken Irish Catholic priests!) be the inspiration for the alcoholic Father Jack in Father Ted? I wonder if Graham Linehan - the Irish writer of Father Ted - watched Father Charlie when he was a kid in the 1980s, and the memory stuck with him when he was looking for sitcom ideas 10 years later?
Incidentally, was this a passed over ATV project? Because this seems to be a "clean" copy, without a hint of ident music at the start and no endcap at the end. So as the idents were to be played "live" at the start and end.
Excellent tape quality. Thanks for uploading.
Thank you.
All hail proper Brit. classic comedy.
