      Pure genuis comedy throwing shade and jovial amenities to the Catholic Church at a time when IRA and attitudes towards the Irish were in the gutter late 80s / 90s. It’s a shame RTE didn’t pick this up in which case it got sold to channel 4 but people went wild for it and enjoyed the Irish humour (even though there are so many underlying and small jokes only the Irish will understand) I think C4 UK gave fr ted the platform it deserved. Amazingly brilliant comedy and based on real life x
